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.

Untreated or undertreated ADHD significantly raises the risk of substance use disorder.

The process

What to expect.

Treatment addresses the root ADHD symptoms, not just the substance use that developed around them.

1

ADHD & substance assessment

Your psychiatrist evaluates your ADHD symptoms and substance use history, including any history of stimulant misuse.

2

Medication review

Non-stimulant medication options are prioritized and carefully monitored, given the addiction risk associated with traditional ADHD stimulants.

3

Skills-based therapy

CBT and practical organizational strategies build the executive functioning skills ADHD often makes difficult.

4

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.

2–3×

Higher risk of substance use disorder with untreated ADHD

Research consistently shows elevated addiction risk among adults with untreated or undertreated ADHD.

Caution

Required when prescribing stimulant medications

Stimulant ADHD medications carry misuse potential, requiring careful psychiatric oversight during addiction recovery.

Non-Stimulant

Options prioritized in dual-diagnosis care

Medications like atomoxetine or bupropion are often considered first when addiction history is present.

ADHD left unaddressed in recovery

Impulsivity continues to drive risky decisions
Disorganization undermines recovery routines
Restlessness and focus issues go unmanaged
Stimulant medications prescribed without addiction context
Frustration with daily tasks increases relapse risk
