Sadly addicted after swallowing ecstasy, getting committed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dedicated

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'committed' is the definition.
('dedicated' can be similar in meaning to 'committed')

'sadly addicted after swallowing ecstasy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'ecstasy' could be 'e' (informal term for the drug) and 'e' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'addicted' is 'ddicated' which is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'getting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dedicated that I've seen before include "Devoted to a particular cause or purpose" , "Determined" , "Committed" , "Devoted to a cause or ideal 99)" , "Consecrated - single-minded" .)
