ADHD and addiction sit side by side far more often than most people realise, and far more often than most services are set up to treat. Many ADHD specialists don’t work with addiction, and many addiction specialists don’t fully understand ADHD. The result is that one condition gets treated while the other quietly keeps driving it. At Ciconia Recovery, ADHD and addiction support are delivered together, in house, as part of one coordinated plan.

Why this matters

At Ciconia Recovery, we see this pattern regularly: undiagnosed or unmanaged ADHD sitting underneath addictive behaviour, or addiction masking symptoms that look like something else entirely. Treating either in isolation rarely holds.

Our ADHD and addiction service is delivered by our specialist clinical team as an integrated part of your care at Ciconia Recovery, not as a separate or outsourced programme.

How this support works

Every plan starts with a conversation to understand what’s really going on, followed by an assessment, and then a structured programme of one-to-one sessions shaped around the individual. Support is available:

• As part of a new treatment plan, where ADHD assessment and support are built in from the start alongside addiction treatment
• Alongside ongoing treatment, as additional, individualised support for clients already in or beyond structured treatment at Ciconia Recovery

Every plan is reviewed as you progress, and adjusted alongside any other treatment you’re receiving at Ciconia Recovery.

Who this is for

• Have a diagnosed or suspected ADHD alongside substance use or other addictive behaviours
• Have completed or are currently in addiction treatment and want ongoing, ADHD-informed support
• Are business owners, professionals, or people in high-responsibility roles where undiagnosed ADHD has contributed to burnout, addiction, or both
• Are young adults or families navigating ADHD, emotional regulation, and early addictive patterns
