Question by Alyssa F: What is the difference between drug addiction and dependency?

Best answer:

Answer by binarystarr01
An addiction is something you are unable to stop. Your body doesn’t need the drug, you are simply addicted to it either psychologically or physically.

If you are dependent on a drug it means you have to take it to keep you going in some way. The drug has a beneficial effect on you but you are not addicted.
