Overview
What is ADHD & addiction treatment?
ADHD is associated with a significantly higher risk of substance use disorder, often because untreated symptoms — impulsivity, difficulty with focus, emotional dysregulation — make people more vulnerable to substance use. Treatment requires careful, non-habit-forming medication management alongside addiction care.
Careful medication management
Stimulant medications carry addiction risk, so our psychiatrist prioritizes non-stimulant options when treating ADHD alongside addiction.
Psychiatric evaluation
A licensed psychiatrist assesses your specific ADHD presentation and how it interacts with your substance use.
Structure & routine
Daily structure and practical organizational strategies address ADHD symptoms directly, reducing reliance on substances.
CBT for ADHD
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps build executive functioning skills — planning, follow-through, and impulse control.
Who this program is for
This program is for adults with diagnosed or suspected ADHD who are also struggling with substance use — including those who began misusing prescription stimulants, or who use other substances to manage restlessness, impulsivity, or difficulty focusing. A formal ADHD diagnosis is not required to begin treatment.

The process
What to expect.
Treatment addresses the root ADHD symptoms, not just the substance use that developed around them.
ADHD & substance assessment
Your psychiatrist evaluates your ADHD symptoms and substance use history, including any history of stimulant misuse.
Medication review
Non-stimulant medication options are prioritized and carefully monitored, given the addiction risk associated with traditional ADHD stimulants.
Skills-based therapy
CBT and practical organizational strategies build the executive functioning skills ADHD often makes difficult.
Structured routine building
You leave with concrete systems for managing time, tasks, and impulses — reducing the frustration that can drive substance use.
Why careful medication matters
ADHD medication requires extra caution in recovery.
Traditional ADHD stimulant medications carry real addiction potential — which is why psychiatric oversight is essential when treating ADHD alongside a substance use disorder.
