Abuse: a habitual taking of addictive or illegal drugs
Addiction: a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking behavior and drug use that is compulsive and difficult to control.

Drug Addiction is much more serious and it typically leads to more severe consequences that can completely ruin your life. To be physically dependent on something that harms your health is a burden.
