i'm going to go down defending the team during s2- aka, when spencer was going through his addiction.
let me begin by saying that if you do know someone who is currently battling any form of addiction that you should do your best to assist and support them through that journey. this being said, let me begin.
i don't think that the team are at fault for not helping/supporting spencer when he was going through withdrawals for one particular reason: duty of care. the moment any of them acknowledges the fact that he has a drug issue is the exact moment that he will get fired.
the fbi is committed to be a drug free workplace. the worst part is that spencer doesn't have a prescription for dilaudid which could land him in even hotter water. it's a sad and unfortunate fact but the fact that the producers chose to have a lack of support for spencer is incredibly accurate.
i think it sucks that no one in the team were able to help spencer. i think it's also sadder when you realise that because of how much time being in the bau takes out of someone's life that spencer probably doesn't have that many friends outside of work. by acknowledging that he has a job problem, this would lead into an inevitible firing as well as him spiralling once he no longer has a support system.
so i don't blame the team at all. i think it would have been difficult for them as well to not do anything about how spencer is suffering. i hope that they gave him lots of love after he got sober though (i like to think that they went out for dinner as a 'team bonding activity' but it's really to celebrate spencer's sobriety anniversaries).
