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.
Whether it's appropriate, it's between the patient and doctor, in my opinion. Of course, people can build up physical tolerances to such meds.

It is very important, with any med like that, to taper off, if coming off, under a doctor's supervision. I agree, with that.

Was someone coming off a benzo here? Not under supervision?
