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.

How do you get through to a drug addict so they will want to quit?
There is no way to get through to a drug addict. You can talk to them. Ask them to get help, but until they want to get the help. If you are a parent or a spouse of an addict there are programs available to help you get through being part of an addicts life. You can call your local NA program listed in the phone book and ask about programs for family members like parents, spouse, even for children and see if they have any.
