Legacy Treatment Services is devoted to simplifying the treatment process for adults with ADHD and for parents with children who suffer from ADHD. Our in-house services remove the need for disjointed treatments that typically occur at multiple locations. We pride ourselves on being a stellar, patient-focused ADHD center in New Jersey.

At Legacy Treatment Services, we aim to identify any underlying mechanisms that may be contributing to ADHD in you or your children. We use a series of objective, evidence-based tests to diagnose ADHD, since this medical condition is too often diagnosed using subjective information. We work closely with each individual patient to understand their behavioral patterns as they relate to ADHD so we can help them effectively manage their symptoms.

New Jersey Statistics on ADHD Treatment

ADHD is one of the most common childhood medical disorders that can continue well into adulthood. This chronic condition is characterized by symptoms such as hyperactivity, aggression, impulsivity, and difficulty with focus and attention.

Statistics surrounding ADHD treatment and diagnosis show that:

• Recent data indicate that about 10.5% of children aged 3–17 in the U.S. have ever been diagnosed with ADHD (based on 2022 parent-report survey data), with similar estimates reported for New Jersey's child population.
• Updated ADHD prevalence among adults remains significant: about 4.4% of adults aged 18–44 in New Jersey are estimated to have ADHD, consistent with previous broader national estimates.
• Current trend data (2016–2019) show wide variation across states in ADHD diagnosis and treatment: state prevalence of ADHD diagnosis among children ranged roughly from about 6.1% to 16.3%, and state estimates for medication and behavior treatment also varied substantially.
• There's evidence that the prevalence of ADHD diagnoses has increased over time: national figures consistently show ADHD diagnosis rates rising compared to older decades, with roughly 11.4% of U.S. children having ever been diagnosed as of 2022.

ADD and ADHD treatments are focused on helping patients improve their ability to function at school, home, work, and in social settings. We teach youth how to stay focused on their education and improve the way they socialize with peers. Adults learn to better understand ADHD so that they can navigate daily life while effectively managing family, work, and social interactions.

Additional Information on ADHD Treatment

Each patient who receives treatment at one of our ADHD centers will have a unique, personalized treatment program. If ADHD is being driven by underlying medical conditions such as mood or sleep disorders, those conditions may be treated first to help improve symptoms of ADHD. Cognitive-behavioral therapy may also be used to treat co-occurring disorders such as depression and anxiety.

In some instances, ADHD medications may be prescribed to help you or your loved one manage symptoms when educational and behavioral therapies have not been fully effective. Residential housing is available for adults who need help managing a mental illness or psychiatric disorder while receiving ADHD treatment.
