Question by thready: Stimulant medication, ADHD, and addiction?
I have a theory that ADHD people who are addicts will have the worst time trying to recover from addiction if they are not on some sort of stimulant medication for the ADHD

i watch celebrity rehab abd sex rehab religiously and i notice that some of the patients show ADHD symptoms and they are the ones who usually relapse alot and I was thinking that if they were on some sort of ritalin then they might be able to follow the program closer

I would have to agree with you, people with ADHD have a much higher chance of doing drugs and becoming addicted by self medication
