Treating ADHD in Tewksbury & South Portland
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, organization, and executive functioning. While many people associate ADHD with childhood, it often continues into adulthood and can significantly impact work, school, relationships, and everyday responsibilities.
At Pillars Health Group, we provide comprehensive outpatient treatment for adults living with ADHD. Our clinical team creates individualized treatment plans that combine evidence-based therapy, psychiatric care, medication management when appropriate, and practical skill-building to help individuals better manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Our ADHD treatment program is designed for individuals who:
- Have difficulty focusing or completing tasks
- Struggle with organization and time management
- Frequently feel overwhelmed by daily responsibilities
- Experience impulsivity that affects relationships or decision-making
- Need more support than traditional weekly therapy provides
- Are transitioning from a higher level of care or seeking structured outpatient treatment
Do You Need ADHD Treatment?
Many adults live with ADHD for years before receiving an accurate diagnosis. They may believe they’re simply disorganized, unmotivated, or unable to keep up with others. Professional treatment can provide the tools and support needed to better manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
You may benefit from ADHD treatment if you experience:
- Difficulty sustaining attention
- Frequently losing or misplacing important items
- Trouble completing projects or following through on tasks
- Chronic procrastination
- Poor time management
- Restlessness or difficulty sitting still
- Forgetfulness in daily activities
- Impulsive decision-making
- Difficulty organizing work or home responsibilities
- Frequently interrupting conversations
- Emotional dysregulation or frustration
- ADHD symptoms that interfere with work, school, or relationships
If these symptoms have been present for an extended period and continue to impact your daily life, it may be time to seek professional evaluation and treatment.
ADHD Symptoms We Treat
ADHD affects each person differently. Our clinicians work with individuals experiencing a wide range of symptoms and challenges associated with the condition.
Inattention
Many individuals with ADHD struggle to maintain focus, follow instructions, complete tasks, or stay organized. They may become easily distracted, forget appointments, or have difficulty managing multiple responsibilities.
Hyperactivity
Although hyperactivity may be less noticeable in adults than in children, many individuals experience constant restlessness, difficulty relaxing, excessive talking, or feeling driven to stay busy.
Impulsivity
Impulsive behaviors may include interrupting others, making decisions without considering consequences, difficulty waiting, emotional outbursts, or engaging in risky behaviors.
Executive Function Challenges
Executive functioning difficulties often include problems with planning, prioritizing, organization, initiating tasks, managing time, and regulating emotions.
Emotional Regulation Difficulties
Many adults with ADHD experience frustration, mood swings, low self-esteem, or difficulty managing stress due to years of coping with untreated symptoms.
How Our ADHD Program Works
Every person’s experience with ADHD is unique, which is why treatment begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment.
During your assessment, our team will evaluate:
- Your symptoms
- Mental health history
- Medical history
- Current functioning
- Treatment goals
- Any co-occurring mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, or substance use disorders
Based on your assessment, we’ll recommend the outpatient program that best fits your needs.
Some individuals benefit from our Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program, while others are appropriate for our Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program. Throughout treatment, your care plan is regularly reviewed and adjusted as you make progress.
Our Treatment Approach for ADHD
Our multidisciplinary team utilizes evidence-based treatment strategies that help individuals improve focus, strengthen executive functioning skills, and build healthier routines for long-term success.
Treatment may include:
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our clinicians use therapies supported by research, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, and executive functioning skill development specifically designed for adults with ADHD.
Psychiatry
Our psychiatric providers conduct comprehensive evaluations and collaborate closely with therapists to provide coordinated care.
Medication Management
Medication can be an effective part of ADHD treatment for many individuals. Our psychiatric providers carefully determine whether medication is appropriate and monitor progress throughout treatment.
Group Therapy
Group sessions allow participants to build practical coping strategies, improve communication skills, learn organizational techniques, and connect with others facing similar challenges.
Family Support
When appropriate, family members may participate in education and support services that improve communication and strengthen recovery.
Other Clinical Services
Depending on individual needs, treatment may also include psychoeducation, stress management, emotional regulation, executive functioning coaching, relapse prevention when co-occurring substance use is present, and coordination with outside providers.
