Do you treat adult ADD / ADHD?

Yes. We treat anyone over the age of 5. In fact, some of our patients did not know that they suffered from ADD/ADHD until adulthood and have found great relief in finally understanding and healing a weakened attentional system that made work or home life much more difficult than it needed to be

If you or a family member need help, please fill out our confidential online form and symptom checklist.

The Institute will contact you promptly to arrange a free telephone screening consultation with a member of our clinical staff to determine if we can help you.

My daughter has improved mostly in areas of social skill since coming to Drake. She has improved confidence: her language skills have improved, and she is doing better in school. She likes coming to Drake.

M.F., mother

Thank goodness we found out about you . . . [Mason] is a different kid. He has improved with his impulsive; hyperactive behavior. There is less irritability, decreased fidgeting, higher tolerance for frustration, increased ability to stay on task and has the ability to self monitor . . . We home school him now and now he has friends and is doing much better. He now has A’s in math and science. The overall improvement from start of treatment is excellent.

Mason’s Mom

You helped our family a lot and helped my parents understand me. My mother has always been very kind and caring but could never stand the things that I did.

To put Joshua on a lifetime of drug dependence was a last resort for my husband and me. And then the Drake Institute became a part of Joshua’s life. I honestly noticed a difference in Joshua after the first treatment. As the treatments went on, Joshua just got better and better.

My son likes going to The Drake Institute. The staff has kept me informed of program changes and progress being made. I am very satisfied with the services provided by the Drake institute.

Father of autistic son

We were very surprised after being evaluated at The Drake Institute to find that Rachael had ALL the symptoms of ADHD and was considered a “severe” case . . . I was beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and knew for the first time that it was not a train. This was permanently fixable and would change our lives forever . . . I can honestly tell the parents out there . . . to "GO FOR IT – YOU WON’T BE SORRY!”.

Rachael's parents, Victorville

I very rarely notice any outbursts and his tempers have improved greatly. If he wasn’t my child, I would not know he has ADHD. Thank you very much for helping his improvement and ours.

Amy, Mother of ADHD son

I would gladly recommend the Drake Institute and its wonderful programs. Not only is my daughter completely off of her ADHD medication, but she is able to do so much more on her own.

Jill B., mother

There is no amount of words/money that can explain the feeling that we feel as a parent as we walk out towards the close out of our son’s program at Drake.

Again, we recommend Drake Institute to everybody who has a similar struggle that we [have] undergone with our son. Try it and it really works.

Ed P., Father

The worksheets he does in school always used to have comments from the school aide. I noticed before he needed help tracing his letters or numbers. Now the comments are “great job – did on his own," etc. I rate his overall improvement from start of treatment as excellent.
