In the simplest terms, if you are addicted, you are taking them to the point where you are not taking them for the condition as much as to get rid of emotional pain, and it's use negatively affects. your life.
Dependence, OTOH, is taken as needed for pain, or anxiety or whatever (depending on benzos. opioids, etc.) and the use of them IMPROVES your quality of life by controlling the problems they are made for and you are taking them for.
