  • Title: [Diagnosis and treatment of the attention-deficit/hyperactivity syndrome (ADHS) in adults with drug addiction in in-patient and out-patient setting].
    Author: Wolf U, Golombek U, Diefenbacher A.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 2006 Jul; 33(5):240-4. PubMed ID: 16802263.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Children with untreated ADHS have a high risk of becoming adult addicts and often present as problem patients on psychiatric detoxification units. We present our experience with the task of recognizing ADHS and initiating treatment during the short period of in-patient detoxification. METHODS: Typical case histories illustrate the structural framework of the setting, the diagnosis and therapeutic process and the course of treatment. RESULTS: Assessment of ADHS and initiation of specific treatment during in-hospital care is practical and useful to stop further chronification of illness. CONCLUSION: This work requires a new approach to these often difficult patients by establishing a continuous therapeutic milieu.
