Vicodin Addiction versus Vicodin Dependence

Vicodin addiction is a direct result of abusing Vicodin. The individual, who was prescribed the medication for chronic pain, by a licensed physician, can eventually develop a dependence on the drug. The difference is the person with the Vicodin dependence is taking the drug as prescribed and developed the dependence due to the characteristics of the medication. Those with a Vicodin addiction are usually obtaining the drug illegally and using it for the "high" and not for a medicinal purpose.
