Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are prevalent mental health conditions that affect both children and adults. Characterized by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness, these disorders can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life. Fortunately, numerous treatment options are available to manage symptoms and lead a fulfilling life. At Imagine Wellness Centers in Norcross, Georgia, we specialize in providing comprehensive treatment programs tailored to individuals with ADD and ADHD.

What are ADD and ADHD?

Understanding ADD

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a type of ADHD characterized primarily by symptoms of inattention without the hyperactivity component. Individuals with ADD may struggle with focusing on tasks, following through on instructions, and organizing activities. They may find it hard to pay attention to details and are often easily distracted.

Understanding ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) encompasses both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types. Apart from difficulties in maintaining attention, individuals with ADHD exhibit hyperactivity and impulsivity. They might frequently fidget, interrupt others, or find it challenging to remain seated.

Differences Between ADD and ADHD

While ADD is a subset of ADHD, the primary distinction lies in the presence of hyperactivity. ADD mainly involves inattentiveness, whereas ADHD includes hyperactive and impulsive behaviors in addition to inattentiveness.

Common Signs and Symptoms of ADD and ADHD

Signs and Symptoms of ADD

  1. Lack of Focus: Struggles to stay focused on tasks or activities.
  2. Forgetfulness: Frequently forgets responsibilities and daily activities.
  3. Poor Organization: Difficulty in organizing tasks and managing time.
  4. Distraction: Easily distracted by external stimuli or unrelated thoughts.
  5. Avoidance: Avoids tasks requiring sustained mental effort.

Signs and Symptoms of ADHD

  1. Hyperactivity: Fidgets with hands or feet, cannot stay still.
  2. Impulsivity: Acts without thinking, interrupts conversations.
  3. Inattention: Difficulty sustaining attention, easily distracted.
  4. Restlessness: Feels restless or unable to relax quietly.
  5. Excessive Talking and Interrupting: Tends to talk excessively and interrupt others.

Common Treatment Options for ADD & ADHD

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is designed for individuals needing intensive treatment but not requiring 24-hour supervision. PHP provides structured support through daily therapy sessions, group counseling, medication management, and educational activities. This program is ideal for individuals with moderate to severe symptoms of ADD or ADHD.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a flexible treatment option that allows individuals to attend therapy sessions several times a week while maintaining their daily routines. IOP provides a supportive environment where individuals can engage in group therapy, individual counseling, and skill-building activities aimed at managing ADD and ADHD symptoms.

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient treatment is suitable for individuals with milder symptoms or those who have completed higher levels of care. It involves regular sessions with a therapist or psychiatrist to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans as needed. Outpatient treatment can include individual therapy, family therapy, and medication management.

Medication and Psychiatry Services

Medication can be a crucial component of ADD and ADHD treatment. Psychiatrists at Imagine Wellness Centers assess each person’s needs and prescribe appropriate medications to help manage symptoms. Common medications include stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, as well as non-stimulants like Strattera and Intuniv.

Counseling Services

Counseling plays a vital role in treating ADD and ADHD. Therapists work with individuals to develop coping strategies, improve organizational skills, and address emotional challenges. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective in changing negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with ADD and ADHD.

How We Can Help You

Our Mental Health
Treatment Programs

At Imagine Wellness we offer a number of outpatient treatment programs in an effort to offer accessible, flexible mental health treatment in the Atlanta metro area. Our programs include:

Partial Hospitalization

Imagine Wellness’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Atlanta provides intensive, short-term treatment for individuals experiencing acute mental health crises or severe symptoms that require more structured and intensive intervention for stabilization. Our PHP program can serve as a step down from inpatient hospitalization, where complex mental health issues can receive the care and attention they require while allowing clients to return to the comfort of their homes each day. 

The PHP at Imagine Wellness includes a highly structured schedule of therapeutic activities, including individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, psychiatric evaluation, and holistic wellness interventions. Clients will participate in the program five days a week, receiving personalized treatment and support from a multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals. Our care team will monitor progress and adjust treatment programs and approaches as needed. Often, clients will continue on to an IOP or OP after completing our partial hospitalization program. 

Intensive Outpatient

For individuals requiring more structured and intensive support than traditional outpatient therapy, Imagine Wellness offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This program is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe mental health concerns who do not require 24-hour supervision but would benefit from a higher level of care than standard outpatient therapy. Clients will engage in a more robust treatment schedule, and have more frequent check-ins with their care team, but still be able to maintain their standard lifestyle outside of treatment. 

The IOP at Imagine Wellness will encompass a combination of group therapy, individual therapy, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises. Sessions are held several times per week, allowing clients to receive comprehensive treatment while maintaining their daily routines and responsibilities.

Outpatient

Imagine Wellness offers traditional outpatient rehab services in Atlanta, providing individualized counseling and mental health support for individuals dealing with various mental health conditions. Our highly trained and accredited therapists, counselors, and medical professionals utilize evidence-based approaches to address and treat mental health conditions. Our therapeutic methods include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to address clients’ unique needs and goals. We also provide medicated assisted treatment where necessary.

For outpatient services, sessions will be scheduled on a weekly or biweekly basis, allowing clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe and supportive environment while developing effective coping skills and strategies for managing symptoms in everyday life.
