Original language description

Background: both clinical practice and research have shown that the ADHD syndrome can be a significant risk factor for residential treatment in therapeutic communities. It may strongly affect the safety and quality of treatment of people dependent on psychoactive substances.

Aims: to test the specific effects of ADHD on psychological resilience, stress management, emotional lability, and life skills in general among clients of therapeutic communities (TCs) for addicts. Sample: an experimental study will be used to conduct a thorough psychological examination of a representative sample comprising approximately 170 clients of eight selected TCs in the Czech Republic. Methods: the test battery comprises specific ADHD diagnostic tools and methods intended to check for any other conditions. The clients will be divided
