mental/psychological dependence means somebody can't feel comfortable/relaxed anymore without the drug. This mechanism has nothing to do with the body, but with feelings of fear, pain, shame, guilt, loneliness and so on. The drug is used to forget problems which should be solved. Because of certain backgrounds (homeless, (sexually) abused, lonely) some people are more likely to get mentally dependent on drugs.
There is a very high chance of addiction when a drug causes both physical and mental dependence.

No. Not at all, in my view. >my weekness was/is coke, and i have always stayed away from heroin, so i am >not sure where to go from here. I hate to say this, but be aware that many heroin injectors are terrible scammers who will say anything to get drugs/money/whatever. There is only one way to stop, and that's to stop. Dead. Now. If she can't manage by herself, and she is sincere about stopping, she might try in-patient help. (Detox, rehab, Therapeutic Community.) If she is having problems but doesn't really want to stop, she should think about a methadone program. The only sure thing is, you can't give her the help she needs. Be supportive, but if you start giving her money, drugs or whatever, you'll come to regret it eventually. -----------
