It really depends. Untreated ADHD is associated with an increased risk of substance use and addiction, so in this case, treating the ADHD may be helpful. It also depends on what drug(s) you are addicted to. If you are addicted to speed, then taking Vyvanse (which is an amphetamine) to treat ADHD may not be the best idea, although it does have a lower abuse potential than Adderall and many other stimulant ADHD medications. In almost any case, it is advised that the addiction itself is treated and is under control prior to beginning medications for ADHD treatment.
