I think here should be differentiating between addiction and dependency. Although people use terminology, addiction and dependency, alternate there is a difference between addiction and dependence. Addiction is the result of a condition in which the use of individual substances becomes a daily life aid. The nature of the disorder may vary. This can affect the relationships in life, work and responsibilities that a person has in life. It is both psychological and biological. However, the dependence is slightly different from the addiction. This is when a person needs a certain dose for physical health. Without it, the body has a negative reaction.
