Abstract

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder often diagnosed in childhood, but which frequently persists into adulthood. It has been associated with significant educational, vocational, and interpersonal impairments, and is a known risk factor for substance use in adolescence and substance use disorders (SUD) in adulthood. This chapter reviews the epidemiology and co-occurrence of ADHD and SUD, their shared vulnerabilities, diagnostic implications, treatment approaches, and clinical recommendations.
