Methylphenidate effects on processing speed in a clinical sample of adults with ADHD and substance use disorder: a pilot study.

CONCLUSION: Proportionally, fewer adults with ADHD and SUD exhibited normalization of processing speed than previously observed for adults with ADHD without SUD. A potential clinical implication of the present study is that the AQT test may be used as a tool for dose-adjustment of central stimulants in the treatment of adults with ADHD and SUD.
