A lighter side to the topic of 'harsh consequences for ingestion of substances'...

Older d&d editions had a funny little chart called 'the potion mixing chart', which came into effect whenever a pc drank a second potion while a first potion was still in effect.  Healing potions were not a problem because their duration was immediate, but anything that buffs you was.

A quick web search will find various versions of this chart for those curious.  Perhaps the most amusing result was the massive no save explosion on ingestion...literally, your pc goes boom.

I'm not suggesting implementing this, it's more to illustrate how liberal the system has gotten about letting a player 'have a priest in their pocket'....and is why the fighter classes tend to dominate nwn.  Can you imagine the carnage if this table were put into play on a fighter who's just quaffed his 12th buff in as many rounds?  Amusing at a minimum.

On a partially related note the custom content of efu really enhances the utility of non-fighters in a variety of impressive ways, and such additions as a wizard actually having a spellbook are really very impressive.

My 2 penn'orth. Make the addiction check a random chance, not guaranteed. Regardless of Will, you'll have a good chance to dodge it it you're not taking the stuff regularly.

The drug addition seems really interesting, looking forward to seeing how the notion of being addicted is actually portrayed IG.
 
The other stuff means pretty much nothing to me, but I'm assuming it's all good!

3 - Pretty much all temporary summons have been adjusted to be 1 HD now. This was done primarily to keep our invasion-quest from breaking with too many spawns as well as standard quests. Additionally, they've virtually all been tweaked in their abilities and powers. HPs, AC, saves, BAB, attacks/round, abilities, etc. should all be adjusted either manually or through scripting. However! Please keep an eye out for bugs or imbalances, and feel free to make comments in the exploitable bug reports forum. Note: don't trust the character sheet, it may be misleading.

Has this change also been made to animal companions and familairs? If not, are there plans to impliment these/similar changes with animal companions and familiars?

Currently there's no plans to do these changes to them.
