Personally, I have always thought that the concept of 'addiction' as
a monolithic entity was a consequence of its medicalization; that
there is such a thing as a 'disease' called 'addiction'. If instead
we look at addiction as a behavior pattern, we should apply the
basic principle that the same effect can have different causes.

But the natural categories of addiction may or may not correspond to
the classes of substances to which people get addicted.
