Drugs can be grouped into different classes according to their effect on the central nervous system (your brain and its connections to the various organs and other parts of your body). If you are using a drug repeatedly over a period of time, you will develop dependence on that drug. But you will also develop dependence to other drugs that you have not used that are in the same class as the drug you are using. This means that when you stop using one drug and begin to experience withdrawal, prescribed use of another drug in the same class might stop or decrease the severity of withdrawal. An example is the use of methadone (a narcotic) to help heroin (a narcotic) users avoid withdrawal. Cross addiction has also been used to describe addiction to more than one drug, whether or not it is in the same class

All addictions work in the same parts of the brain, by modifying or imitating the production of neurotransmitters that cause pleasant feelings. This is as true of shopping addiction as it is of heroin. Thus, people who have taught themselves that their moods and feelings can be altered by certain actions or chemicals, have a very good chance of cross-addiction to chemicals and actions that have similar effects. Gambling, for example, is the number two substitute addiction for alcoholics and addicts, after relationships.In a slightly different sense, the actions of some chemicals are so similar that a person addicted to one will almost automatically become addicted to the other. Alcohol and benzodiazepine tranquilizers are one example. Heroin and other opioid drugs are another, as are alcohol and heroin.Cross addiction and cross dependence are the same thing, really. "Cross dependence" is just a way of saying it that makes it sound less important. Thus the term is much favored by drug companies.
