Is it true that clinical anesthesia can cause physical or psychological addiction?

Yes. Clinical evidence indicates that certain anesthetic agents and adjuncts used in medical settings possess abuse potential and can induce psychological dependence or euphoria.

The analysis

Several retrieved papers support the claim that clinical anesthesia agents (such as ketamine and propofol) carry risks of psychological dependence, euphoria, or abuse potential. Paper [3] notes that some anesthetics fall into controlled substance schedules associated with dependence, while papers [10] and [11] specifically document human euphoria and animal models of psychological dependence related to propofol. There are no papers refuting the claim.
