There are many kinds of addiction. Some are chemical dependencies such as drugs, alcohol, cigarettes. Others are emotional addictions such as gambling, pornography, electronic games, tv, shopping, kleptomania. Some can be both such as food addiction.

Some can become physically and emotionally defendant of alcohol and other things with a few uses while others are less susceptible to them.

Is drug addiction caused by an allergy?

Addiction is caused by changes brought about in the brain by drug use, which cause the individual to need the drug in order to function. "Allergy" was the explanation used in the mid-20th Century, when we knew much less about addiction than we know today.
