cough medicine by prescription usually has codeine for pain relief. all opiates are addictive.
atuss comes in different form like robitussin.
check what she is taking, HD is listed as a narcotic

Of course it depends on the active ingredient. But in general the answer is yes, particularly if the active ingredient is codeine.

You can get hooked on anything.
A couple of websites mention that you shuoldn't take atuss if you have a history of drug dependance, which would suggest that it is addictive.
If she is worried, she should ask for a second opinion.
