Because of the difficulties he faced while wearing a colostomy bag, Matthew decided to get a therapist. Well, the actor added,
“My therapist said, ‘The next time you think about taking OxyContin, just think about having a colostomy bag for the rest of your life.’ And a little window opened, and I crawled through it, and I no longer want OxyContin.”
