It is possible for addiction and physical dependence to have overlap (and for many drugs this is common) but they are mutually exclusive - one does not necessarily imply the other and the presence of one does not mean there is the presence of the other.

Interesting. I'd always used the terms interchangeably, because I did not realize that there was a difference. I'll look into it, and won't repeat the mistake. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

And thank you for engaging in good faith! Appreciate you ๐Ÿ’œ

As an aside I have a degree in neurobiology and work in health care and would be happy to discuss things with you if you ever have questions.
