There is a distinct different between being dependent and being addicted.
Regardless of what they are taking it for, be it hypertension, a heart condition, pain or etc. Anyone that takes anything for a long period of time will become dependent on it and can suffer some rebound and withdrawal effects, if it is stopped suddenly.
However, addiction occurs when someone abuses a medication, such as a narcotic, but taking more and more of it all the time, rather than just taking the prescribed amounts to handle their condition.
I think many of the problems arise when people don't understand these differences.
Learn more addiction details here.
Are there any other comments or questions?
