Jackson checked into rehab in Fall '93 due to his increasing addiction to painkillers- apparently spurred by stress due to Chandler's allegations that publicly surfaced summer of that year.

I have no doubt that his involvement with these drugs at this point helped to influence the settlement in the hopes that it would make it all (the addictions included) go away.
