How Does ADHD Treatment in Philadelphia Work?
At New Mind Wellness, our ADHD treatment programs are structured to provide the right level of support at the right time. We offer several distinct levels of care, which can serve as a continuum or standalone treatment options, depending on the unique needs of the individual.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) represents the most intensive form of care available at New Mind Wellness. It is particularly suitable for individuals who require a structured treatment environment throughout the day but are stable enough to manage evenings at home.
The PHP involves daily sessions that last several hours, providing a robust structure similar to an inpatient setting but with the flexibility of returning home at night. During these sessions, clients engage in a variety of therapeutic activities including both group and individual therapy, which allows for personalized care and peer support.
In addition to therapy, the program includes skill-building activities designed to improve cognitive functions and emotional regulation, crucial for managing ADHD. Medication management is also a critical component, ensuring that any pharmacological treatment is optimized and closely monitored to enhance overall effectiveness and manage side effects.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at New Mind Wellness is designed for those who need significant support but also require the flexibility to maintain their daily responsibilities like work or family care. This program typically involves attending therapy sessions several times a week, which are scheduled to accommodate the routines of our clients.
The IOP focuses on integrating treatment strategies into daily life, facilitating a balanced approach to managing ADHD symptoms without the need for full-time care. Sessions in the IOP include a mixture of group therapy, individual counseling, and other therapeutic activities that promote skill development and symptom management.
This level of care is ideal for individuals transitioning from PHP or for those whose needs do not require the intensity of full-day programs but who still benefit from regular, structured support.
Outpatient Program (OP)
Our Outpatient Program (OP) is designed to provide continued support with the least frequency of sessions among our treatment options, making it ideal for long-term maintenance and support. This program is well-suited for individuals who have completed either PHP or IOP levels of care and are looking to maintain their progress or for those whose conditions are stable enough to require only periodic intervention.
This level of care allows individuals to keep up with their personal and professional lives while still receiving the support they need to manage their ADHD effectively. Therapy sessions are scheduled less frequently, focusing on reinforcing strategies and skills learned in more intensive programs, managing medication, and addressing any new challenges that arise. This ongoing support is crucial for preventing relapse and promoting sustained well-being and functionality.

What Types of Treatments Are Available for ADHD?
At New Mind Wellness, we tailor our ADHD treatments to meet the needs of each individual.
1. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR Therapy is a psychotherapy technique proven to be effective in helping people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. This treatment involves the patient recalling distressing experiences while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the memories.
2. Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy uses low wavelength red light to improve skin health, muscle repair, and blood circulation, which can indirectly support cognitive function and overall well-being. For individuals with ADHD, Red Light Therapy is explored as a method to enhance mood, sleep, and energy levels, potentially reducing symptoms like fatigue and inattention.
3. Psychiatry
Psychiatric services involve the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health issues through a combination of psychotherapy and medication management. For ADHD patients, psychiatrists may prescribe stimulant medications, non-stimulants, or other adjunct medications to help manage symptoms, while also providing ongoing monitoring and adjustments as needed.
4. Group Therapy
Group therapy sessions for ADHD involve small, therapist-led groups where individuals can share experiences, offer mutual support, and learn coping skills in a safe and structured environment. These sessions help participants realize they are not alone in their struggles, facilitate social skills development, and provide peer feedback about strategies for managing everyday challenges.
5. Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapy approaches the individual as a whole, considering physical, emotional, spiritual, and social influences on health rather than treating symptoms in isolation. Techniques might include yoga, meditation, nutritional counseling, and art therapy. For ADHD, holistic therapies aim to improve overall well-being, reduce stress, and enhance focus and attention through natural and integrative practices.
