Best Answer

Yes, the body can be physically addicted to alcohol. The psychological dependence comes first, then the physical dependence. So you would have to recover from those in the reverse order. You first get the medical care to get off the alcohol, and then you get the treatment for the psychological component.

Can you get addicted to methadone after using it twice?

Any addiction you might feel is purely psychological. It takes a lot more than 2 times to get a physical addiction. If you are doing it just to get high, I would advise against it. It may not have all of the physical side affects of heroin, but it can take you to the same place and make you just as much of an addict.
