Is addiction a physical dependence?
Addiction can be a physical dependence. Physical addiction is not the only form of addiction. There is also psychological addiction, which is also considered addiction. A physical dependence and a psychological dependence often coincide with one another, but they don't always have to. Usually, psychological dependence comes first. One could be addicted to alcohol psychologically, meaning they have overwhelming desire to the point that it feels like a need to drink. Drinking too much alcohol on a regular basis can lead to a physical alcohol addiction, meaning the person has to drink alcohol for their body to function. The psychological addiction may even be gone at this point, and they not want to drink anymore, however the physical addiction is still there. Another example could be in marijuana. Marijuana can be very psychologically addictive, however it causes no physical addiction. Either way, an addiction is an addiction, be it physical, psychological, or both.
Are psychological and physical two type of addiction?
Yes, those are both types of addiction. Physical addiction is when the body gets used to the drug and you have to have it for the body to function normally. That is why alcoholics have to go to detox centers. But they still have a psychological dependence, and if they stop treatment at that point, they will likely start using again and get the physical dependence back. So they then have to treat the psychological urges to use the substance and the underlying causes.
