It is difficult to find exact wording that you may want regarding
benzos... this entry near the end summarizes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzodiazepine_dependence

However, the opiates you are using will create new receptors, and this has been documented, as arising from the glial cells near the neurons. This is why doctors hesitate now to give opiates to young people, because they will create new receptors that then will want to be covered. Pain will be worse then when discontinued.
This usually happens with long term treatments.

You can Google "glial cells pain" and find lots of new research.
The research into benzos is not as complete yet however.
