Ambien....addictive?

I am on my 10th day of sobriety, but I am still having a terrible time falling asleep or even staying asleep if I do make it there, not to mention the bad dreams.

Yesterday I had an appointment with my doctor, whom I have been seeing for over 6 years and knows of everything that I have been going through with the drinking. I told him that I went through a detox program, and of course, he was very proud of me.
I also told him of my sleeping problems, so he gave me a script for Ambien. Since I did not know much about the drug when I got home I looked it up on the internet. There I found that it can be addictive and there were actually sites for treatment centers for people addicted to this drug.
Is this anything that I should be worried about?

Any input would be appreciated....Thanks!
PEACE
