ADHD Treatment Center

ADHD is more than just being easily distracted or having trouble sitting still—it’s a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how a person focuses, manages time, controls impulses, and processes emotions. It can impact everything from school and work to relationships and self-esteem.

For kids and teens, ADHD can mean struggles in school, difficulty making friends, and constant frustration with teachers and parents. Adults with ADHD often face challenges at work, trouble staying organized, and difficulty managing responsibilities. Without the right support, ADHD can lead to stress, anxiety, and feelings of failure, even though it has nothing to do with intelligence or capability.

Finding the right ADHD treatment in Atlanta isn’t always easy. Some doctors focus only on medication, while others may not offer specialized therapy designed for ADHD challenges. 

The Berman Center takes a comprehensive, personalized approach to ADHD treatment. We help clients build real-world skills and offer support for individuals and families. Whether you’re looking for teen mental health treatment through the Ignite Program or adult ADHD support, this guide will explain what to expect and how to find the best care.

TREATMENT FOR TEENS

ADHD Treatment for Teens: The Ignite Program

For many teens with ADHD, traditional treatment approaches—like medication and occasional therapy—aren’t enough to address the challenges they face daily. The Ignite Program at The Berman Center is designed to fill this gap by providing structured yet flexible support tailored to adolescents’ needs.

What is the Ignite Program?

Ignite is an intensive outpatient program (IOP) specifically for teens who struggle with ADHD and co-occurring mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, or emotional dysregulation. The program provides a structured environment in which teens can build skills, gain confidence, and develop strategies for more effectively navigating school, friendships, and family life. 

Unlike standard therapy sessions that meet once a week, Ignite offers a more immersive experience with multiple sessions per week, helping teens make real progress in a supportive setting.

Skills-Based Learning for ADHD

ADHD isn’t just about difficulty paying attention—it affects executive functioning, emotional regulation, and impulse control. The Ignite Program focuses on teaching practical skills that help teens manage these challenges in everyday life. 

Sessions cover essential topics like:

  • Improving time management and organization
  • Developing coping strategies for frustration and impulsivity
  • Strengthening focus and follow-through on tasks
  • Learning social skills to navigate friendships and family relationships
  • Building self-awareness and emotional regulation techniques

By focusing on these skills, the teen therapy program empowers participants to take control of their ADHD rather than feeling like it controls them.

A Supportive Community for Teens

ADHD can often feel isolating—especially when peers, teachers, or even family members don’t fully understand the struggles that come with it. Ignite creates a space where teens can share their experiences, learn from one another, and build friendships with others who “get it.” Through a combination of therapy, skill-building, and peer support, Ignite gives teens the tools they need to manage ADHD and thrive—now and in the future.

TREATMENT CAN HELP

ADHD Treatment for Adults at The Berman Center

ADHD isn’t just a childhood condition—many adults struggle with it well into their careers and personal lives, sometimes without ever having received a formal diagnosis. The symptoms of ADHD can make it difficult to stay organized, meet deadlines, maintain relationships, and manage daily responsibilities. 

ADHD in Adulthood

Many adults with ADHD have spent years feeling frustrated by their inability to focus, follow through on tasks, or control impulsive behaviors. They may have been labeled as disorganized, forgetful, or lazy when, in reality, they were dealing with an undiagnosed neurodevelopmental condition. Left untreated, ADHD can lead to chronic stress, workplace struggles, financial difficulties, and strained relationships. The good news is that with the right treatment at our outpatient mental health center, adults can learn how to work with their ADHD instead of feeling like they’re constantly fighting against it.

Therapeutic & Medication Support

ADHD treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some adults benefit from therapy alone, while others find that a combination of therapy and medication management works best. At The Berman Center, clients have access to psychiatrists who can assess whether medication is an appropriate option and therapists who specialize in ADHD and executive functioning support. Through therapy, adults with ADHD can develop skills to improve focus, manage emotions, and create structure in their daily lives.

Building Coping Strategies

ADHD treatment at The Berman Center goes beyond symptom management—it focuses on equipping adults with real-world tools to navigate life more effectively. Clients learn:

  • Time management techniques to keep on track with work and personal responsibilities
  • Organizational strategies to reduce forgetfulness and improve efficiency
  • Mindfulness practices to manage stress and improve emotional regulation
  • Communication skills to strengthen relationships and reduce misunderstandings

The Berman Center helps adults confidently take control of their lives by addressing both the neurological and practical aspects of ADHD in an intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization (PHP) setting.

FAQs About ADHD Treatment in Atlanta & The Berman Center

OCD can often co-occur with other mental health disorders or substance use disorders. Some people experience anxiety or depression related to their OCD, and The Berman Center offers treatment for these disorders in addition to our OCD treatment program.

Some individuals with OCD turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with their symptoms, and this can spiral into addiction. When this happens and an individual develops a substance use disorder alongside their OCD, it is referred to as a dual diagnosis. 

The Berman Center offers dual diagnosis treatment for individuals who struggle with both a mental health disorder and substance use disorder. Our program features therapies that can help you better understand the connection between the two disorders and how to manage them both. Our dual diagnosis treatment helps clients develop personalized coping strategies to help them sustain their recovery long-term. For clients with OCD, we can help you gain insight into the connection between your obsessions and compulsions and substance abuse, so that you can create healthier ways to cope with stress and anxiety.

What ADHD treatment options are available in Atlanta?

Atlanta offers various ADHD treatment options, including psychiatrists, therapy clinics, medication management, and school accommodations. However, many traditional treatment approaches focus primarily on medication without providing the skills-based support that individuals with ADHD need to thrive.

Does The Berman Center offer ADHD treatment without medication?

Yes. While medication can be helpful for some, the Berman Center emphasizes therapy and skill development as the foundation of ADHD treatment. Clients learn executive functioning strategies, emotional regulation techniques, and practical coping mechanisms to improve their daily lives. Medication is an option, but it is never the sole focus of treatment.

Is the Ignite Program only for ADHD, or does it treat other conditions?

The Ignite Program is designed to support adolescents with ADHD, but it also helps teens struggling with anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. Because ADHD often exists with other mental health challenges, Ignite provides a well-rounded dual-diagnosis treatment approach to support overall emotional and cognitive well-being.

Can adults receive ADHD treatment at The Berman Center?

Yes. The Berman Center provides specialized ADHD treatment for adults, helping them develop executive functioning skills, improve time management, and build healthier coping strategies for work, relationships, and daily responsibilities.

What’s the difference between ADHD therapy and ADHD coaching?

ADHD therapy focuses on emotional and cognitive challenges, such as impulsivity, low self-esteem, and emotional dysregulation. It helps clients process their experiences and develop coping strategies. ADHD coaching, on the other hand, is more focused on practical daily habits, such as structuring routines, improving organization, and increasing productivity. At The Berman Center, treatment incorporates both therapy and skill-building to offer a comprehensive approach.
