I've heard that there are some medications that can cause addiction. Is that true?

Yes, it is true that certain medications can be addictive and lead to dependence or even addiction. For example, opioids such as morphine and oxycodone can have a high potential for abuse and dependence, so they are strictly controlled by law in most countries. Other drugs such as amphetamines and benzodiazepines can also be highly addictive and should only be taken under medical supervision.
