No clue about this particular case but just because it is prescribed does not mean it is appropriate. I see medication regimens on a daily basis that would curl your hair.
The difference really is what someone considers addicted/addiction vs. physiologically dependent or increased tolerance. What is very important to know is that benzodizaepines should be tapered with a prescriber's supervision as the withdrawal can be dangerous as is combining them with alcohol.
