Some of the symptoms you list are in fact possible results of ADHD, i.e. trouble keeping friends, impulsive behavior. I don't know about the others but they may also be related. ADHD produces a lot of frustration and I guess that could cause the other things you mention.
Certainly treataing the ADHD, especially with behavior modification couldn't hurt.
I do know that having ADD or ADHD is a known risk factor for "becoming" an alcoholic. "Becoming" is in quotes because I don't know if we become alcoholics or if we born alcoholics and become users.
ps. not a Dr., I am an alcoholic with ADD.
Good luck to you and your family. I'm glad your son is in a place to get help.
