FWIW, psychological addictions are harder to beat than physical ones. With some drugs (like nicotine) the line between psychological and physical is kind of blurred, too.

I agree. It used to be considered that physical addiction was worse than psychological addiction, but I think the reverse is true. If you are physically addicted but not psychologically (as occasionally happens in a hospital setting), you just have to cut down gradually. With psychological addiction, this is especially difficult.

On this even thor agrees things aren't very clear-cut. It's not a black and white issue, and there is controversy over where the line between physical and psychological addiction line is drawn. To make things even more murky, some people are more prone to substance dependence than others, and even then it can vary by particular substance.
In the real world, very little is black and white.

Depends if we are talking physical addiction, or psychological addiction
The physically addictive ones are the opiates (opium, morphine, heroin), barbiturates (secanol etc-very rare these days) and benzodiazapanes (valium etc) and alcohol
A LOT of other substances, cocaine, crystal meth, ecstacy and marijuana have powerfull psychologically addictive reactions which can be as troublesome as physical addiction

Surprisingly, fewer "drugs" are physically addictive as you might think. Nicotine is the most addictive known substance. Caffeine is addictive. Heroin and all of the opiate based prescription drugs are whether they made from opium or synthesized. Alcohol is physically addictive but not as much as caffeine or nicotine. Cocaine, meth, marijuana, special k, ecstasy are considered more of a psychological addiction. If someone has been using a drug for a long time and stops, the psychological withdrawal has a physical effect on the body. In most cases, anxiety, depression, irritability and fatigue are the symptoms. Generally speaking, the "harder" the drug, the harder the withdrawal. Except for alcohol, nicotine and caffeine. The reason why nicotine is considered the most addictive is that it only requires a small amount of the drug for the body to become physically dependent. Ever have a caffeine withdrawal headache? That is physical addiction.
Having said that, I am not condoning nor minimalizing withdrawal. And I am not saying don't drink coffee. Or alcohol in moderation. In some cases, it is easier to step down. This is especially true for heroin and alcohol. To stop suddenly can cause death if the addict has been using for a long time.
There is a lot of good information and links available at http://www.camh.net

Unless Steve has moved to Ontario, no, it isn't. It appears to be an attempt to advertise a hospital in Toronto.
