Description
Research shows a high prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adolescents with substance abuse disorders and indicates that they have poorer substance use treatment outcomes and poorer prognosis and risk of persistence and progression of drug use and behavior problems into adulthood. Although research indicates that the majority are not treated for ADHD while in substance treatment, we do not know whether concurrent pharmacotherapy for ADHD will improve treatment outcomes.
