The symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are challenging and disruptive. However, we want you to know there is help. A Mission For Michael (AMFM) has multiple treatment facilities in California, Washington, and Virginia where qualified, skilled therapists and clinicians help you develop strategies to improve your attention, organizational skills, and distractibility.
Our mental health professionals have expertise in treating mental health conditions and dual diagnosis, which refers to having more than one distinct mental health condition simultaneously. This condition requires concurrent treatment. We encourage you to call us today to learn more about your options for ADHD care at our multiple integrative treatment centers.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. These symptoms interfere with functioning and development. It’s one of the most common mental health disorders diagnosed in children and often persists into adulthood. There are three subtypes of ADHD based on your predominant symptoms.
The first is predominantly inattentive, in which the main symptoms are inattention without significant hyperactivity or impulsivity. Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive ADHD diagnosis presents with symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity without significant inattention. A combined presentation has a mix of symptoms.
ADHD diagnosis is based on a comprehensive evaluation, including a clinical assessment, interviews, and standardized behavior rating scales. Treatments often include a combination of behavioral therapy, medication, and educational support. At AMFM Mental Health Treatment Center, our licensed clinicians help you establish a routine to manage ADHD symptoms and become far more productive.
The exact cause is not fully understood, but ADHD research has indicated it is likely the result of a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. ADHD appears to have a strong genetic component. Studies indicate that children with a parent or a sibling with ADHD are more likely to develop it themselves.
Prenatal exposure to certain substances during pregnancy has been linked to an increased risk of pediatric ADHD. These substances include tobacco smoke, alcohol, or certain drugs, including prescription medication or over-the-counter drugs. Complications during pregnancy or birth can also contribute to a higher risk. Exposure to lead and early childhood may increase the risk of developing ADHD, and babies born with low birth weight or prematurely have a higher risk.
There is ongoing research into the role diet plays in the treatment and development of ADHD. There is also a suggestion that certain food additives or sugar can exacerbate the symptoms in some children but does not seem to affect the behavior in others. ADHD is a complex disorder that has multiple contributing factors. While researchers know that genetics play a role, environmental influences and neurological factors may also contribute to the development of the condition.
Yes, ADHD can qualify you for a disability designation in certain circumstances. The designation depends on the severity of your symptoms and how they impact your ability to function at work and in other settings. The qualification for disability also varies based on the context. For example, the criteria for disability across various settings, such as the workplace, may differ.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ADHD is considered a disability if it substantially limits one or more life activities, including work. Employees may be entitled to flexible work schedules, modified job duties, or assisted technology to help them perform their job functions.
ADHD may also be a qualifying factor for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) administered by the Social Security Administration. The condition must be severe enough to prevent you from engaging in substantial gainful activity. You must meet specific criteria, which involves providing thorough documentation of the disorder’s impact on your life.
Signs and symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder include persistent patterns of behavior, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms typically interfere with daily functioning, including the ability to be productive at home, work, and school. You may struggle with staying focused, organizing tasks, sitting still, or controlling your impulses.
Although accidents are not a symptom of ADHD, people with ADHD have a higher risk of injuries and problems with the legal system. Mental health providers and primary care providers can use ADHD testing to diagnose the condition, which can include co-occurring mental health disorders like bipolar disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). General ADHD symptoms include:
An ADHD therapy and treatment center is a healthcare facility that provides comprehensive care to help treat and manage symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The mental health treatment center typically offers a range of services, including behavioral health therapy, medication management, education support, and counseling. These treatments are tailored to help you manage your symptoms and improve daily functioning.
ADHD therapy and treatment centers usually employ a multidisciplinary team of professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, and educators, to create customized treatment plans. Treatment center support may extend to families to offer guidance on how to best support their loved ones.
The skilled therapist and licensed clinicians at AMFM offer comprehensive ADHD treatment options, support, and resources. Our structured, holistic treatment center addresses your mental, emotional, and physical needs, taking a whole-person approach to your recovery from the broad range of psychiatric conditions that we treat.
When you’re seeking free and confidential ADHD testing and assessment services, it’s important to find a reliable provider. AMFM offers a comprehensive assessment tailored to your needs. ADHD assessments are conducted by experienced professionals who understand the complexities of the disorder. The assessments are designed to identify the condition, so you receive the appropriate care and support.
We are dedicated to providing accessible mental health services to those in need. Your free assessment is confidential and ensures you can explore your symptoms without privacy concerns. We encourage you to call us today using the information below to request a free assessment.
Several strategies address the unique challenges ADHD presents in your life. The following is a list of treatment programs that are generally available. However, this is not a full list. We encourage you to call AMFM today to learn more about the ADHD-informed therapy options available that can help you manage your symptoms.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs) for ADHD treatment provide an intensive, structured environment when you need more support than typical outpatient care but not full hospitalization. These programs blend therapy, education, and ADHD medications in a day treatment setting. This allows you to receive the care you need while still living at home.
PHP adult ADHD programs usually include individual and group therapy sessions, skills training, and educational support tailored to manage your symptoms based on a comprehensive assessment. The goal is to stabilize your symptoms and provide you with coping strategies so you can function more effectively in your daily life.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) for ADHD provide a more flexible treatment option than PHP, yet more intensive care than traditional outpatient treatment. You are usually involved in several hours of behavioral therapy for ADHD and skill-building each week. Sessions focus on managing symptoms and developing coping strategies to use in your daily life and community.
IOPs offer a combination of individual and group therapy with educational sessions to improve your organizational skills and focus. These programs are ideal if you need intensive support but still need to maintain obligations outside of treatment.
Traditional outpatient programs offer ongoing treatment for ADHD symptoms while you can continue your daily activities, including work or school. You typically attend regular therapy sessions either once a week or every two weeks. Your sessions focus on non-pharmacological interventions for ADHD, including behavior management, coping strategies, and skill development.
In addition to therapy, you may also receive educational support and family counseling, as well as participate in ADHD support groups. These programs are suitable when your symptoms can be managed without more intensive care, allowing you to receive consistent tailored support while maintaining your usual routines.
A residential treatment facility for ADHD in adults provides intensive, 24-hour care in a structured environment. This is ideal when your ADHD symptoms are severe, or you need more support than outpatient therapy can provide. Treatment at an inpatient treatment center usually involves a combination of therapy, life skills training, and medication management tailored to help you manage your symptoms.
AMFM Mental Health Treatment Center has several treatment centers throughout California, Washington, and Virginia. Each holistic treatment center offers options extending well beyond symptom management and addressing the whole person. Our wellness centers offer options you typically can’t get at other places. We encourage you to call us today at (866) 478-4383 to learn more about your ADHD treatment options.
Our California facilities offer gender-specific treatment for adults. Our experienced therapists and licensed clinicians use a variety of ADHD treatment options to help reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Your customized treatment plan is built on a comprehensive assessment.
Our Virginia treatment facilities are renowned for exceptional care and a luxurious environment that supports a customized approach to meet your needs.

You have access to specialized treatment for ADHD in adults in Washington. You receive a psychiatric evaluation and weekly assessment to monitor your progress, which is used to update your treatment program. We also provide a holistic, whole-person approach alongside evidence-based treatment modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and family programming.
There are three types of ADHD. The type you have depends on your symptoms. Each presents unique challenges in your ability to function at work, school, and within your friends and family relationships. While the following is a list of the three most common presentations, ADHD exists on a continuum, so this is not a full list.
Several types of therapy and counseling are available that can successfully treat ADHD symptoms in adults. Recovery centers may offer some or all of the following examples. However, these are just examples and not a complete list of all the ADHD treatment options available. We encourage you to call AMFM at (866) 478-4383 to learn more about our ADHD-informed therapy.
Behavioral therapy is a widely used treatment approach for ADHD. It focuses on modifying negative behaviors and thoughts while developing positive coping strategies. This type of therapy helps you learn how to manage ADHD symptoms, such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, by reinforcing desirable behaviors and minimizing disruptive ones.
Techniques usually include creating a structured routine, setting clear expectations, and using rewards or consequences. These practical skills empower you to improve daily function and overall quality of life.
ADHD-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on helping you change negative thought patterns and behaviors that exacerbate symptoms. CBT combines cognitive strategies with behavioral techniques to promote organization, time management, and impulse control. This approach is particularly effective in helping you manage stress, improve self-esteem, and develop practical skills to handle everyday challenges.
CBT also helps you cope with ADHD and comorbid conditions like anxiety or depression. It fosters self-awareness and teaches coping strategies to better manage your symptoms and improve your overall functioning. Other behavioral therapies based on CBT include Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) and (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) EMDR ADHD therapy.
Executive functioning coaching is a specialized form of support that focuses on improving the necessary skills for managing daily tasks and responsibilities. The impact of ADHD on executive functions includes difficulties with planning, organizing, and time management. ADHD coaching can provide personalized strategies to help you better navigate these challenges at school, work, and in your personal life.
Using one-on-one sessions, ADHD coaches help you set goals, break tasks into manageable steps, and create systems that work for you. This gives you greater control over your life and improves your ability to meet deadlines and stay focused.
Psychodynamic therapy for ADHD explores the underlying emotional and psychological factors that may contribute to or exacerbate your symptoms. Unlike behavioral approaches that focus on managing symptoms directly, psychodynamic therapy delves into the unconscious thoughts and emotions that might influence your behavior.
Psychodynamic therapy is based on the idea that understanding the deeper issues helps you gain insight into a pattern of behavior that might hinder your ability to manage symptoms effectively. This is not typically a primary treatment for ADHD but can be a valuable complement to other forms of therapy while addressing the emotional aspects of living with the condition.
Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are increasingly recognized as practical tools for helping you to manage ADHD symptoms. Mindfulness techniques involve paying attention to the present moment, which can help you improve focus and manage stress. Regular practice in meditation or deep breathing exercises can improve your self-awareness and help you develop better control over your thoughts and emotions.
Relaxation techniques can also play a crucial role in managing hyperactivity and anxiety that is often associated with ADHD. These help to calm the mind and body and make it easier to respond to challenging situations with greater patience and less reactivity.
Psychoeducation involves providing you, your family, and educators with comprehensive information about ADHD. This educational process helps you and your support network understand the nature of the disorder, including the symptoms and how it affects daily life. Gaining a clear understanding of ADHD helps everyone better recognize and manage the challenges that are associated with the condition.
This can lead to more effective treatment outcomes. In addition to explaining and understanding the basics of ADHD, psychoeducation also includes practical advice on coping strategies and behavioral management techniques. Psychoeducation is a critical component of a comprehensive treatment plan. It lays the foundation for informed decision-making and sustained management of ADHD.
Occupational therapy (OT) for ADHD focuses on helping you develop the skills you need to perform daily tasks effectively. This improves your ability to function at home, work, or school. Occupational therapists work with you to address challenges with executive functioning, sensory processing, and motor skills.
They use customized interventions to improve your time management and social skills so you can better navigate your environment. In addition to skill building, OT includes strategies to manage sensory sensitivities and improve attention and focus. Therapists can use techniques like sensory integration therapy or mindfulness exercises to regulate your response to sensory input and maintain concentration. These are practical and holistic approaches to challenges associated with ADHD.

Yes, most commercial health insurance policies may cover ADHD therapy.

You must verify your insurance coverage before receiving treatment. While there are several ways to do this, the easiest and fastest is to call AMFM Mental Health Treatment Center at (866) 478-4383.

Your ADHD therapy and treatment out-of-pocket costs are typically lower with health insurance. While most health insurance plans cover treatment for mental health conditions, you’re still responsible for deductibles, copays, and coinsurance when applicable. Copays for therapy sessions can range up to $50 per visit (sometimes more), and medication costs, while lower with insurance support, may also incur a copay.
Your out-of-pocket costs depend on your specific insurance policy and whether the provider is in-network. Some plans cover a portion of a comprehensive ADHD treatment program, and others cover only certain aspects, like medication or therapy. When you call AMFM, our admission specialists can verify your insurance coverage and help you find financial assistance when needed.
The cost of ADHD therapy and treatment without health insurance varies widely, depending on many factors. Therapy can range from $100 to $250 per therapy session. Medication costs increase the overall cost depending on the type and dosage. Comprehensive treatment programs may also include other holistic approaches to care, which can also affect the price.
These costs can be challenging to manage without insurance coverage, especially for ongoing treatment. We encourage you to call A Mission For Michael (AMFM) to speak with our financial counselors, who can help you find local financial assistance and discuss if you qualify for our sliding scale fees and payment plans. Exploring these options can help make ADHD treatment more affordable and accessible without insurance coverage.
Most major private health insurance providers offer coverage for mental health conditions, including therapy and treatment for ADHD. These health insurance providers include Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Magellan, Cigna, Optum, and Carelon Behavioral Health.
