ADHD Treatment Center in San Bernardino

Comprehensive Care for ADHD in a Dual Diagnosis Setting

At Benchmark Transitions, ADHD treatment goes beyond medication and therapy. Our whole-person approach focuses on emotional well-being, practical life skills, and long-term growth while also addressing any co-occurring mental health or substance use challenges. We offer both inpatient and outpatient levels of care to support the healing process at every stage.

1. Medication Management

Not everyone with ADHD needs medication, but for some, the right prescription can make a world of difference in improving focus, impulse control, and emotional regulation. Our psychiatric team provides individualized medication assessments and ongoing support to help clients find what works best.

2. Individual and Group Therapy

Understanding how ADHD affects thoughts, behaviors, and self-esteem is key to managing it successfully. Through evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), clients learn effective strategies for emotional regulation, impulse control, and overcoming daily challenges.

3. Executive Functioning Training

ADHD can make it challenging to stay organized, plan, and follow through on tasks. We provide structured coaching to help clients build these essential life skills, making daily responsibilities more manageable and less overwhelming.

4. Social Skills Development

Building and maintaining relationships can be challenging when ADHD causes impulsivity or difficulty reading social cues. Our program includes communication, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence training to help clients develop stronger, healthier connections with others.

5. Healthy Lifestyle and Wellness Practices

A balanced lifestyle plays a significant role in managing ADHD symptoms. We incorporate exercise, nutrition, mindfulness, and healthy sleep habits into treatment. These wellness practices help improve focus, emotional stability, and overall well-being.

6. Life Skills and Transitional Support

Managing ADHD extends beyond treatment—it’s about applying these skills in real-world situations. We provide life skills training and transitional support to help clients prepare for independent living, employment, or continuing education. This includes time management strategies, financial planning, workplace communication, and self-advocacy techniques to foster long-term success.

Types of ADHD We Treat

ADHD doesn’t look the same for everyone. Different types of ADHD present differently from person to person. That’s why we personalize treatment to fit each individual’s unique experience.

1. Predominantly Inattentive ADHD

Struggling to stay focused? Forgetting tasks or losing track of time? Inattentive ADHD is marked by difficulty sustaining attention, disorganization, and mental “fog.” Many people with this form of ADHD are mistaken for being “lazy” when, in reality, their brains just process information differently.

2. Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive ADHD

Do you feel you constantly move, talk, or act before thinking? This form of ADHD is associated with restlessness, impulsivity, and difficulty waiting or staying still. It can be frustrating for both the individual and those around them.

3. Combined-Type ADHD

This is the most common type of ADHD, where individuals experience both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms. This can lead to challenges in multiple areas of life, from work and school to relationships and daily responsibilities.

No matter which type of ADHD you or a loved one is facing, we’re here to help you manage it in a way that fits your life. Contact our admissions team today to discuss your unique situation and find the right level of support for you.

Therapies That Work: Our Approach to ADHD Treatment

We incorporate a combination of evidence-based and holistic therapies to create a well-rounded treatment plan for ADHD and co-occurring disorders like substance use.

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns while building practical skills for time management, self-regulation, and organization.

2. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

For those struggling with emotional intensity and impulse control, DBT teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, and coping strategies to improve emotional balance.

3. Executive Function Coaching

ADHD can make daily responsibilities feel overwhelming. We offer prioritization, planning, and follow-through training to help individuals develop practical, sustainable habits.

4. Social & Interpersonal Skills Training

ADHD can make relationships challenging. We provide guidance in effective communication, frustration management, and interpersonal awareness to improve personal and professional relationships.

5. Mindfulness & Holistic Approaches

Meditation, experiential therapy, movement therapy, and nutrition counseling help support focus, stress management, and overall well-being.

6. Sensory Regulation Therapy

Many individuals with ADHD experience sensory sensitivities that can make focus and emotional regulation challenging. This therapy helps clients develop coping techniques to manage overstimulation, improve concentration, and adapt more comfortably to their environment.

You Are More Than Your ADHD

ADHD doesn’t have to control your life. With the proper support, structure, and strategies, you can turn challenges into strengths and develop skills that set you up for success.

At Benchmark Transitions, we believe in treating the whole person, which is why our dual diagnosis program ensures that ADHD and any co-occurring mental health conditions are addressed together. If you or a loved one is ready to take the first step toward a more focused, confident future, we’re here to walk this journey with you.
