ADHD + substance use disorder
Setting
Private Beverly Hills manor
Overview
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.
Recognizing the overlap
Untreated or undertreated ADHD significantly raises the risk of substance use disorder.
Signs of ADHD

Impulsivity
Restlessness or hyperactivity

How It Connects to Substance Use
Misuse of prescription stimulants
Self-medicating with stimulants
Substances to manage restlessness
Impulsivity extends to substance use
The process
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
Traditional ADHD stimulant medications carry real addiction potential — which is why psychiatric oversight is essential when treating ADHD alongside a substance use disorder.
