Children of parents with addiction are at high risk for
developingADHD.Mutation in some gene such as 5HTTLPR,
DAT1, D4DR4, and MAO-A have been linked to attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and susceptibility for opiate
addiction. Also parental behavioral disorder sets children
at a more specific risk for developing behavioral disorder
themselves. Opioid abuse is epidemic, and many of the adults
using this substance are parents. The purpose of the current
paper is to review conducted studies the association of opioid
abuse with child behavioral problem specially ADHD. Findings
indicate that there are some studies examining children’s ADHD
and parenting when parents abuse opioids. We conclude that
parents of children with ADHD have more substance abuse
and history of ADHD in their background. Smoking during
pregnancy associated with a twofold to fourfold increased risk
ADHD in the offspring. Children of opiate-dependent mothers
had a higher rate of ADHD compared to those of the opiate-
dependent fathers. Genetic and socioeconomic confounders
may contribute to this association. Parental addiction can
lead to an increase ADHD in the children. Therefore early
diagnosis, prevention and treatment of ADHD in these children
are necessary to reduce health costs and improve the health
system.
