Learn more about ADHD treatment at Sierra Tucson

There are many different kinds of mental health conditions that individuals grapple with, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common. This condition is a mental health disorder that develops in childhood and can carry into adulthood. ADHD is marked by a number of symptoms; however, the most common that someone who is affected will display tends to include an inability to pay attention, struggling to do well at work, facing social problems, and experiencing difficulty upholding responsibilities at home. In addition, those who have ADHD are likely to suffer from low self-esteem. For most, the symptoms associated with ADHD will become minimized as time passes, yet many people continue to struggle with symptoms throughout their lives.

While this condition impacts many individuals worldwide, there is hope. ADHD is one of the most recognized mental health conditions, and the treatment that is available can help those who are battling with symptoms to overcome the challenges they present. For example, most individuals who are afflicted with ADHD will be placed on a stimulant medication that can increase their focus and productivity. These medications can include Adderall, Ritalin, and Concerta. Additionally, therapeutic services that can help these individuals learn the appropriate skills to combat their condition are available.

At Sierra Tucson, the best rehab center for ADHD treatment, we understand the impact that living with ADHD can have, which is why we have established treatment designed to help those individuals living with this condition learn how to handle their distress in an appropriate and effective manner. The team at our treatment center goes above and beyond to ensure that each individual who comes through our doors is treated with the utmost respect and dignity, and is provided with an individualized, comprehensive treatment that will allow for positive growth.

Helping a loved one get treatment for ADHD

If you have a loved one who is battling ADHD and needs professional treatment, there is no need to worry. While you might be feeling concerned and overwhelmed, there are many things that you can do to help your loved one get the help that he or she needs. Consider the following:

• First, educate yourself about ADHD. There are a number of fantastic, notable resources online that can help you understand this condition to a fuller extent. By learning more about this condition, you will be better able to understand what your loved one is experiencing.
• Reach out and speak to treatment centers to find out if they can help your loved one. In many cases, ADHD can be treated in an outpatient setting. By speaking with these centers, they can help guide you towards a potential solution for your loved one.
• Be sure to fully disclose your concerns to your loved one. While he or she might be defensive, it is likely more uncomfortable for him or her to continue living with untreated ADHD than it is to partake in some form of treatment. Continue to encourage him or her during treatment.
• It can be incredibly draining and upsetting for you to watch your loved one go to struggle with the symptoms of ADHD. As such, it is important that you are practicing good self-care by getting enough rest, eating well, and continuing to participate in activities that you enjoy. Doing so will allow you to effectively support your loved one at this time.

Why consider treatment for ADHD at Sierra Tucson

Both the short-term and long-term effects of untreated ADHD can be incredibly painful for the affected individual, as well as for those around him or her. However, it does not have to continue to be this way. By engaging in treatment that supplies a comprehensive approach to care, those who present with symptoms of ADHD can obtain the skills required to manage their symptoms.

Our rehab includes a 15-bed behavioral health inpatient unit, and a 124-bed behavioral health residential treatment center, both of which are situated on the same campus. Patients who require immediate stabilization due to the presence of psychiatric concerns, such as those that may be associated with ADHD, or those who are in need of medical detoxification services can receive these interventions prior to engaging in our treatment center’s residential care. Following completion of treatment at our inpatient program, patients will then engage in the comprehensive treatment offered at our rehab’s behavioral health residential treatment center.

Treatment for ADHD is delivered through our treatment center’s Mood and Anxiety Program. Offered within our behavioral health residential treatment center, services supplied in this treatment plan are designed to produce the most favorable outcomes for all patients. The neuropsychiatric treatment provided in this plan is designed to heal the mind, body, and spirit in a naturally scenic, tranquil setting that offers the best around-the-clock care. Using an interdisciplinary team approach through a customized blend of conventional, complementary, and evidence-based treatments, the caring and compassionate staff strives to support each person’s unique capacity to flourish and achieve overall wellness. The all-encompassing goal of the Mood and Anxiety treatment plan is to help patients decrease the symptoms that plague them, while also helping them to gain the tools needed to resume healthy daily functioning, free from the turmoil elicited by attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

The types of services you receive will be determined by your treatment team. The intensive nature of this treatment incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy workshops in addition to continuously providing psychodynamic therapy throughout the various aspects of the therapeutic process. Patients engaged in the Mood and Anxiety treatment plan are offered the following treatment methods, of which are outlined in each person’s individualized treatment plan, as well as in our rehab’s daily treatment schedules:

Medication management: Individuals who are suffering from ADHD often find alleviation from their symptoms through the implementation of psychotropic medications. The need for medication, however, is always determined on a case-by-case basis at our treatment center. Patients engaged in the Mood and Anxiety Program are seen by a psychiatrist or attending physician on a weekly basis in order to determine the need for medication, monitor medication, and adjust any medication that has been prescribed. Registered nurses and clinical technicians also assist in monitoring a patient’s medication needs.

Individual therapy: Upon entering the Mood and Anxiety treatment plan, each patient is assigned a primary therapist with whom they will meet at least once each week. All individual sessions are conducted by Master’s level clinicians and licensed psychologists at our ADHD rehab and are designed to afford patients the opportunity to discuss their progress in treatment, address any concerns that may arise, and process through various feelings that they are experiencing.

Group therapy: At the time that patients are admitted into the Mood and Anxiety treatment plan, they are assigned to a small group of peers, all of whom are engaged in the same plan. This group will meet together for therapy sessions four times per week at our treatment center. In addition to serving as a general process group, topics that are covered during these group sessions may include, but are not limited to:

• Working through grief and loss
• Healing anxiety
• Learning about holistic options for healthy living

The staff of professionals conducts an ongoing assessment of each patient’s progress and needs and offers assistance in making this transition smooth so as to continue the process of healing with as little disruption as possible.

Continuing care and levels of treatment for ADHD

Sierra Tucson’s method for providing all-encompassing care for every patient who comes for treatment includes thorough discharge planning and continuing care services that are second-to-none. Once a patient engages in services to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder at our rehab, a comprehensive continued care plan is devised so that they can remain successful once treatment is complete. Those partaking in the services meet with continued care staff to assess each individual’s needs and plan for discharge. Those engaged in the residential treatment at our rehab center meet with the same continued care staff and regional outreach specialists and partake in lectures and one-on-one planning sessions to ensure quality referrals and to establish any follow-up appointments that may be required once they have been discharged.

Furthermore, patients exiting the residential treatment center, along with their family members, can benefit from The Connections Program. This treatment plan includes 12-month-long case management services that are in place to offer ongoing and substantial support to former patients. A representative from this plan contacts patients 48 hours after they are discharged and is available to assist these individuals in seeking and receiving the additional services they need in order to remain successful in the process of healing and recovery.

Lastly, former patients can take part in the Alumni Services affiliated with our rehab. These services include groups offered through outpatient centers, which are located across the United States.
