Yes, there is such a thing as a physical addiction. That is when your body needs a substance to function normally. The body becomes so used to the drug that it changes to adapt to it being in the body. So if they quit suddenly at that point, they may have the shakes, hallucinations, or other problems.
For instance, alcohol might interfere with serotonin, so the brain grows new serotonin receptors. But if you quit alcohol immediately, you may have way too much serotonin in the body, and that can be life-threatening.

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.
