Sunshine Coast Health Centre (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/), a top-rated drug rehabilitation and alcohol treatment program for men in British Columbia and throughout Canada, is proud to announce a new post on ADHD and addiction. The Centre focuses on addiction treatments, most commonly to drugs and alcohol, and the post focuses attention on the specific issue of ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder).
“ADHD is one of the most common psychological afflictions in modern Canada,” explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer. “Our therapeutic approach takes a well-rounded, holistic view of the client and has him work as a full partner. If a client is diagnosed with ADHD, we work hard on that issue as well as any other interrelated issues that may be connected to addiction as well as drug, alcohol, or substance abuse.”
Interested persons can read the post at https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/adhd-and-addiction/. The post explains that there are genetic factors at play when it comes to ADHD. The combination of heredity and environment has a central role in its development. Recent studies have found that the likelihood of someone with ADHD misusing substances is shockingly high. Impulsivity is one of the many metrics used to determine if someone has ADHD. It may also be the most important piece in the link between ADHD and addictive behaviours. Exploring impulsivity will help both therapists and clients better understand this connection.
