Summary

This study looked at whether having ADHD makes it harder to stay sober after finishing a detox program for alcohol dependence. Researchers followed 113 adults for 12 weeks after detox, using both a simple screening questionnaire and a more thorough diagnostic interview to identify ADHD. The goal was to see if ADHD is linked to a higher rate of relapse and to compare the accuracy of the screening tool.
