Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects concentration, impulse control, emotional regulation, and the ability to complete tasks. In adults, ADHD frequently co-occurs with substance use disorders, as individuals may use substances to self-medicate symptoms or manage the frustration of an undiagnosed or undertreated condition.
Recovery requires both clinical treatment of ADHD and any co-occurring substance use. At EMEND New Haven, we provide integrated dual diagnosis care that addresses both simultaneously, helping adults build structure, focus, and lasting stability.
