While it is generally safe, under a controlled medical setting, there is a rare chance that some complications can occur, such as permanent damage to the liver or kidneys.

And no, the addiction would not be a permanent condition and the doctors will be able to taper the medication to prevent the worst of any possible withdrawal symptoms.
