However the underlying mechanisms behind it are not straightforward. Method: We report a case of an adult with ADHD, who has a long standing history of polysubstance use, since the age of 10.

Objective: Individuals with ADHD are known to have more risk of
developing substance use disorder (SUD). However the underlying
mechanisms behind it are not straightforward. Method: We report a case of
an adult with ADHD, who has a long standing history of polysubstance use,
since the age of 10. He had multiple relapses, even after numerous efforts
undertaken to keep him drug-free. Result: ADHD symptoms were not
optimally treated during admission. He had preference towards opioid-based
and amphetamine-type substances in order to attain euphoria. Conclusion:
Taking into account the biological and psycho-social condition of this man,
we discussed the role of ADHD from the perspective of dysfunctional rewards
system and other possible factors in explaining his drug-craving behavior.
