Addicted to person: Yes, but being addicted to a person is nothing like being addicted to a medication or drug. They are like apples and oranges.

Addictive obsession: It is possible to be addicted to a person and this may look like an obsession: you want more of the other person and don't seem to feel comfortable being away. Healthy relationships tend to appreciate each other's individuality and space. Being unable to feel comfortable by yourself is somewhat unhealthy. Consider seeking counseling so that you can enjoy a healthy relationship.
