About this trial

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) is a highly common comorbid condition associated with serious medical and psychosocial consequences. However, and despite the international consensus recommending integrated treatment for this comorbidity, few studies tested the efficacy of specific psychotherapeutic treatment for this comorbidity.

The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of a specific group Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of adults with this comorbidity.

This is a longitudinal, randomized controlled intervention study utilizing a crossover design between the intervention and treatment-as-usual (TAU) waitlist condition, aimed at testing the effectiveness of an integrated psychotherapeutic group treatment for adults with comorbid Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Substance Use Disorders (SUDs).
