Teen drinking or drug use may start off with curiosity or peer pressure, but it often goes beyond that. In this episode, we uncover the connection between undiagnosed ADHD and substance use—a surprising link that’s often missed but affects nearly half of adolescents in drug and alcohol treatment.
Learn how to spot the signs of both conditions, and discover how families can support loved ones struggling with these challenges. We'll also provide practical tips for treatment, management and building strong support systems.
This episode may help you:
Bring clarity to why substance use is often a side effect of untreated ADHD
Help listeners learn how to recognize the signs of SUD and ADHD
Provide tips for treating each disorder and things to look for when managing both
