Which came first, ADD or substance abuse? What’s the difference between abuse and dependency? Are those with ADD at a higher risk for substance abuse? If ADD is treated at a younger age, does it impact substance abuse risk factors? Are those with untreated ADD more likely to have a substance abuse problem?
