Doctors only really accepted the fact that benzos can cause a strong physical dependence when SSRIs were introduced. When a completely new class of antidepressants/anxiolytics are introduced, doctors will finally accept that SSRIs create physical dependence. SSRIs are not 'addictive' like opiates- they do, however, cause dependence. The medical profession, as always, will be very slow to accept this.
