A Shared Commitment
Our staff is committed to the results you want and we need a similar commitment from you to begin care. We need you to commit time and effort in order for our treatments to make a significant impact. Many patients show visible results within 8-10 treatments, but most will be clearly impacted by the 5th week of care at approximately 12-15 sessions. For best results, we require that you commit to a minimum of 15 treatments. This first part of the program is basic care for all patients, with minor variations based on individual differences. For the remainder of the program, treatments become further individualized to the patient’s needs.For most patients the complete ADHD program is 30 treatments, with a few requiring more (15%). The best results are achieved through cooperation and trust. Without these initial elements we do not proceed. The heart of this program is to challenge those areas of the brain that function inadequately and to allow it to perform at a new and effective level.
The learning process is the central mechanism for change and without sufficient motivation on the patient’s part we will see only partial results. Skepticism and negative regard will significantly hurt the results and can be the primary cause of another failure in the patient’s life. It needs to be understood that there is no reason that the patient, irrespective of their prior history, can’t master this simple process. Be opened minded. Don’t allow past difficulties to create new ones.
