Is it true or false physical dependence to a drug always precedes psychological dependence to a drug?

I would definitely say false. You know that saying, "It's all in your head"? So, (in most cases) you will first think you are dependent before actually becoming physically dependent. Hope this helps! (even if a little) =)

Is addiction a physical dependence?
Addiction can be a physical dependence. Physical addiction is not the only form of addiction. There is also psychological addiction, which is also considered addiction. A physical dependence and a psychological dependence often coincide with one another, but they don't always have to. Usually, psychological dependence comes first. One could be addicted to alcohol psychologically, meaning they have overwhelming desire to the point that it feels like a need to drink. Drinking too much alcohol on a regular basis can lead to a physical alcohol addiction, meaning the person has to drink alcohol for their body to function. The psychological addiction may even be gone at this point, and they not want to drink anymore, however the physical addiction is still there. Another example could be in marijuana. Marijuana can be very psychologically addictive, however it causes no physical addiction. Either way, an addiction is an addiction, be it physical, psychological, or both.
Does psychological dependence automatically follow from physical dependence?
So far as I know, our action always follows our thinking. Thinking is the origin of all our actions. We can't act without thinking. This is the rule of the Nature. When you ask me a question like, "Does psychological dependence automatically follow physical dependence," I have to think twice. Yes, I have got the answer. If you have a physical injury that makes you incapable of moving and for that matter, you are unable to feed yourself even. You have a situation in which you have to depend on someone to take care of you in all your activities including your going to the toilet. In this situation, your theory seems to be correct.
Is adavan addictive?
Yes, Ativan (Lorazepam) can be addictive if not taken as prescribed or misused. It is a benzodiazepine that can lead to physical and psychological dependence, especially if used for a long time or at high doses. It is important to always follow your doctor's recommendations when taking Ativan.
When does physical dependence on drug occure?
Depending on the drug, the dose used, and a number of other factors physical dependence may not occur at all although when it does occur it typically requires at least several weeks of continuious use for physical dependence to start to set in. Continuous use of opioids, corticosteroids, beta- blockers, and alcohol nearly always lead to physical dependence sooner or later. Other drugs like benzodiazepines, contrary to popular belief, actually only cause significant physical dependence in about 1/3 of long-term users (even as long as two or more years). However people that abuse benzodiazepines and similar drugs have a greater chance of becoming physically dependent. It should also be clear that physical dependence is not that same as addiction. Many drugs including corticosteroids are not drugs of abuse yet continuous use can cause physical dependence in a matter of days when taken in moderate to large doses. Addiction is psychological dependence however many addicts addicted to drugs that tend to cause physical dependence like opioids will also be physically dependent. However most people prescribed opioids for a legitimate needed for a protracted period do not become addicted but do become physically dependent.
