At Live Free Behavioral Health, we create a calm space where you can focus on healing. Our team understands how ADHD affects daily life and offers proven treatments to help you succeed.
What Is ADHD?
ADHD stands for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. This mental health condition affects how your brain focuses, controls impulses, and manages activity levels.
Types of ADHD
Depending on the type of ADHD, the CDC identifies different symptoms:
- Inattentive: Trouble focusing, following instructions, or finishing tasks
- Hyperactive-Impulsive: Restlessness, talking too much, impulsivity
- Combined: Mix of both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms
According to CHADD, this disorder affects about 6.5 million children and 6% of adults in the US as of 2024. Symptoms of ADHD in adults often look different than those in kids. Adults might struggle with work deadlines, and adolescents might have school stress.

ADHD and Dual Diagnosis: Treating Co-Occurring Conditions
Many with ADHD also struggle with substance use disorders. Dual diagnosis happens when someone has both a mental health condition and addiction at the same time. Our approach ensures that both issues are treated concurrently.
ADHD often leads to substance use because:
- People self-medicate hyperactivity or focus problems with alcohol or drugs
- Impulsivity makes it harder to say no to substances
- Untreated ADHD can cause depression, leading to drinking or drug use
Substance use makes ADHD symptoms worse by:
- Disrupting sleep and focus even more
- Interfering with ADHD medications
- Creating more disorder in daily life
We also treat ADHD alongside other mental health conditions:
- Depression: ADHD can lead to feelings of failure and low self-worth when left untreated.
- Anxiety: Constant worry about forgetting things or making mistakes is common with ADHD.
- PTSD: Trauma can make symptoms worse and requires specialized care.
Family Involvement in ADHD Treatment
We include your loved ones through:
- Education packets
- Check-ins and updates
- Family therapy sessions
- Relapse prevention plans

Thank you to all the staff at live free residential for helping me get to where I am now. I am so appreciative to them helping me jump start my life. They have amazing counselors and staff who helped me with all my aftercare needs. I am so grateful for this program!!!!!!
This place is awesome! The staff is great! They’re caring, compassionate, and empathetic. They treat each resident individually to meet each of their needs. 24 hr nursing staff helps with each residents detox needs. They also help with after care plans and placement back into the community. Peers also are very supportive to eachother, I highly recommend live free recovery to anyone looking for help with addiction.
The facility and staff were extremely helpful and accommodating with my detox. It was a calm environment and the nurses were always available to meet whatever needs I had to help me transition. I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking for help with any addiction.
