The honor code is far from perfect and imo un-Christlike in many ways. Football is a perfect place to help someone in need. Addicts or those that struggle don't need to be told they are addicts. They need to be surrounded with positive people and most importantly be engaged in something to occupy their time and thoughts.
The way addiction is being handled is changing everywhere, and I'm happy to hear byu is also doing that.
I look forward to a serious overhaul of the archaic honor code.
