I've read the item description of the Amulet of Euphoric Healing, the Addiction rules, and had a look at the drugs for comparison, and…
I'm not sure I get it?
My impression is that if I heal someone (and they accept the healing, rather than making a saving throw to resist), they're also automatically affected by the "Euphoric Healing" drug, which instantly imposes a –2 penalty against all mind-affecting spells cast by the amulet’s wearer for 24 hours, and does 1 Wis damage.
In addition, they have to succeed at a DC 13 fort-save, or gain a minor addiction, which would case them to gain a –2 penalty to Con after going a day without "Euphoric Healing".
Did I get this right, or are there any glaring mistakes? Mainly, I'm wondering if the penalty on saving throws (and the wis-damage) only triggers after a failed fort-save, or if it's automatic.
Thanks in advance to everyone helping me to make sense of this.
I think that the -2 penalty and the WIS damage are all part of the failed Fort Save for addiction....
Drugs are weird tho, could be wrong...

That appears to be correct. There's no saving throw to gain the effect of a drug (including damage), only to avoid addiction and the effects thereof.
Further consideration (and a closer look on other available drugs) has led me to the conclusion that I better don't get drugs involved lest it escalates and we suddenly have to fight a bunch of opium-wielding rogues.
Who needs poison - drugs are far worse in Pathfinder.
