This part is not exactly true. For example a heroin addiction is going to have different features than a sex addiction.

A heroin addict going through withdrawal experiences significant physical symptoms (chills, running nose, etc.). A so-called sex addict does not.

I'd be inclined to say that this difference was overt rather than subtle.
