ADHD Evaluation and Treatment for Adults in Florence
Hope Behavioral Medicine provides ADHD evaluation and treatment for adults in Florence and across Florence County by secure video. Florence residents can see us by secure video from home, and in-person visits are available at our West Ashley office in Charleston.
Life and Care in Florence
Florence is home to Francis Marion University and Florence-Darlington Technical College. College is often when ADHD becomes hard to manage, as structure falls away and demands rise, and we see students 18 and older by video between classes.
Florence is the medical hub of the Pee Dee: health care and social assistance is Florence County's largest employment sector, with nearly 17,000 jobs. Health care workers face high rates of burnout, and video visits can fit around demanding shifts.
Florence's economy centers on health care and automotive and retail distribution.
Florence County is federally designated as a mental health professional shortage area, meaning there are too few mental health professionals for the people who live there. Telehealth lets Florence residents see a provider without waiting for a local opening.
How ADHD Evaluation and Treatment Works
Your first visit is a full evaluation by secure video. Your provider reviews your symptoms, your history back to childhood, how attention problems affect your work and home life, and other conditions that can look like ADHD, such as anxiety, depression and poor sleep.
If you have not completed a formal ADHD evaluation or testing before, our practice requires objective ADHD testing before ADHD treatment can begin. The testing is a separate computerized assessment of the three core symptoms of ADHD: attention, activity and impulsivity. It is completed online as part of your evaluation, usually before your virtual visit with your provider, on a third-party, web-based, FDA-cleared ADHD assessment platform. It gives your provider objective data from validated testing to aid the diagnosis, but on its own it is not enough to diagnose ADHD. ADHD testing is self-pay and not covered by insurance; our front desk will tell you the cost when you schedule. Your visits with your provider may be billed to your insurance according to your plan benefits.
Treatment is built with you and can include medication when clinically appropriate, counseling for organization and coping strategies, and regular follow-up.
Insurance and Scheduling
We accept Medicare, most major commercial plans, and all South Carolina Medicaid managed care plans except Select Health (First Choice). New patients are often able to be scheduled within a week of requesting an appointment.
