Description
There have been increasing rates of ADHD treatment nationwide, with non-expert providers becoming increasingly involved in diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, ADHD disproportionately affects people with substance use disorders and greatly increases the potential risk for developing, activating, or continuing a stimulant use disorder. In this presentation we will explore the diagnosis and treatment of adult ADHD alongside substance use disorder.
Objectives
1. Raise awareness of the complexity of ADHD diagnosis
2. Understand evidence or treatment of adult ADHD alone and with SUD
3. Understand the potential harms of treating adult ADHD with stimulant medication
