adhd treatment
adhd treatment for adolescents and adults
ADHD can feel like a constant internal tug-of-war. You know what you want to do, but getting there feels exhausting, overwhelming, or impossible. Whether you’re a teenager struggling in school, a college student lost in the chaos of deadlines, or an adult wondering why daily tasks always feel harder for you than others, you’re not alone. At Galen Hope, we specialize in compassionate, personalized ADHD treatment that goes beyond labels. We help clients of all ages discover the tools, structure, and support they need to thrive—not just manage symptoms, but build confidence, connection, and real momentum.
what is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd)?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain manages attention, focus, impulse control, and executive functioning. It’s often misunderstood as simply a lack of focus or hyperactivity, but ADHD affects nearly every part of a person’s daily life—impacting school, work, relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
ADHD can present as inattentiveness (e.g., forgetfulness, disorganization), hyperactivity (e.g., restlessness, fidgeting), impulsivity (e.g., interrupting others, risk-taking), or a combination of these symptoms. Because it is so nuanced, some people mask their symptoms for years or are misdiagnosed—especially women, high-achieving teens, and neurodivergent individuals. At Galen Hope, we see past the stereotypes and offer holistic, strengths-based treatment designed for the whole person—not just their diagnosis.
our approach to adhd treatment
At Galen Hope, we treat ADHD with a profound understanding that it’s not just about attention – it’s about regulation, connection, and support. Our team takes a multidisciplinary approach, combining clinical expertise with heartfelt human care. We know ADHD doesn’t exist in isolation, so we work closely with each person to address co-occurring mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, trauma, or learning differences.
Treatment includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), executive functioning coaching, mindfulness practices, medication management, and experiential therapies. We also help our clients build emotional insight, manage relationship challenges, and develop a healthy sense of self-worth. Whether you’re learning how to manage emotional dysregulation, improve task completion, or rebuild confidence, our ADHD treatment programs are designed to support real, lasting transformation.

adhd faqs
what are the main symptoms of adhd?
Common symptoms of ADHD include trouble sustaining attention, frequent forgetfulness, disorganization, impulsivity, restlessness, and difficulty completing tasks. Frustration, shame, or low self-worth often accompanies these challenges. While everyone may experience these symptoms occasionally, ADHD is diagnosed when they significantly impact daily life. ADHD presents differently from person to person, which is why individualized treatment is so important.
how does adhd present differently in children and adults?
In children and teens, ADHD may show up as hyperactivity, emotional outbursts, problems following directions, or trouble staying focused at school. In adults, symptoms often look more like internal restlessness, chronic procrastination, poor time management, or feeling overwhelmed by routine tasks. Adults may also experience struggles in work or relationships due to undiagnosed ADHD. At Galen Hope, we support clients across all life stages, adapting treatment to the challenges they face.
how does adhd affect relationships and work performance?
ADHD can strain relationships due to forgetfulness, emotional reactivity, and difficulty following through on commitments. In the workplace or academic settings, individuals may struggle with productivity, prioritizing tasks, or managing deadlines—despite having talent and ambition. These challenges can lead to burnout, frustration, or feelings of failure. Treatment at Galen Hope helps individuals and families develop tools for better communication, structure, and emotional regulation to restore trust and self-confidence.
how do I know if I need help for adhd?
If you’re frequently overwhelmed, struggling to meet daily expectations, or finding that your relationships and self-esteem are suffering, it might be time to seek support. ADHD doesn’t mean you’re incapable or lazy—it means your brain functions differently, and with the right treatment, life can become more manageable and fulfilling. A clinical assessment and personalized care plan at Galen Hope can help clarify what’s going on and how best to move forward.
is therapy effective for adhd?
Yes. Therapy is a core component of effective ADHD treatment. While medication is helpful for many, therapy addresses the emotional, behavioral, and practical aspects of ADHD. At Galen Hope, therapy may focus on developing executive functioning skills, improving self-awareness, managing emotions, and strengthening relationships. Our integrative approach ensures that therapy addresses your needs and symptoms.
what's the difference between an inpatient vs outpatient treatment center?
Inpatient treatment involves 24/7 care in a residential setting and is typically reserved for crisis stabilization or intensive support. Outpatient treatment allows individuals to live at home while participating in structured programming. Galen Hope is an outpatient treatment center that offer Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for ADHD and co-occurring conditions. Our model allows individuals to integrate treatment into real life – building skills in a supportive and empowering environment.
how can i help a friend or family member with adhd?
Supporting a loved one with ADHD begins with education and empathy. Learn about how ADHD affects daily functioning and try to avoid judgments about motivation or effort. Encourage them to seek professional help and offer to assist with tasks that feel overwhelming—like making the first appointment. At Galen Hope, we work closely with families to provide tools and understanding that strengthen relationships and reduce frustration.
does galen hope take insurance?

Can I use out-of-network insurance to pay for treatment at Galen Hope?
In some instances, we can accept out-of-network (OON) as full payment while in others, we provide a scaled partial payment. This may also be connected with your out or pocket max, as well as co-pays and co-insurance. The degree to which out of network benefits cover the full cost of treatment varies greatly from policy to policy. In some instances it can serve as full payment, while others may cover a portion. In all cases, individuals using out of network benefits will be subject to paying their out-of-network deductible and other fees such as the out of pocket max, co-insurance or co-pays as dictated by your insurance policy.
Does Galen Hope help verify insurance benefits for treatment?
Absolutely. We offer free insurance benefit verification to help you understand what your policy may cover before you begin treatment. We aim to provide full transparency around coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
Can I get a Single Case Agreement (SCA) for treatment at Galen Hope?
When clinically indicated and appropriate, we pursue Single Case Agreements (SCAs) to help families access in-network-level coverage with an out-of-network provider. Our team advocates on your behalf and provides clinical documentation to support the request. We encourage you to call us so that we can determine if a SCA is warranted.
What happens if my insurance stops covering treatment early?
If your insurance coverage ends unexpectedly and we believe the denial of care is not in your best clinical interest, our team will work directly with your insurance carrier to appeal the decision. You will receive timely notification of any changes in authorizations for care in order to explore financial options and clinical recommendations to help minimize any disruption in care.
How can I find out what my insurance covers for eating disorder or mental health treatment?
Our admissions team will assess your insurance policy, the recommended level of care, and your treatment location to give you a clear understanding of what your plan is likely to cover. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
