Conclusions.
Consistent with findings in untreated ADHD in adults, untreated ADHD was a significant risk factor for SUD in adolescence. In contrast, pharmacotherapy was associated with an 85% reduction in risk for SUD in ADHD youth.
This should be true especially in controlled settings. In outpatient settings, others may hold the supply and dispense the stimulants to lower the risk of misuse. I doubt that stimulants address addiction or cravings. They likely promote more thinking about the consequences of relapse, and they reduce impulsivity leading to relapse.
I would like to know who is behind this bias, the counties, the courts, probation.
