In fact, "coaddiction" is a term that's falling out of favor, and rightly so. Coaddiction usually is used in reference to the spouse of an addict who does things that enable the spouse to continue in addiction, out of fear of losing the relationship if he or she stands up to the addict. That is codependent behavior. Codependence is just a term that is more broad ... and applies to many different kinds of relationships, even when addiction isn't present. Hope that helps.
