Adult ADHD Evaluation, Therapy & Medication Management
Adult ADHD can affect focus, organization, time management, follow-through, emotional regulation, restlessness, and day-to-day consistency. Many adults seek care after years of feeling scattered, overwhelmed, underperforming, or frustrated by how hard it is to complete tasks that seem simple for other people.
Medtriq helps adults across Washington better understand attention and focus concerns. Care may include evaluation, medication management, and therapy on a limited basis.

Why a full assessment matters
Focus problems can come from many places. ADHD is one possibility, but anxiety, depression, insomnia, trauma, substance use, stress, medical conditions, medication effects, and life demands can also affect attention and follow-through.
A thorough assessment helps your provider understand the bigger picture before recommending treatment. Your provider may ask about current symptoms, childhood patterns, school or work history, sleep, mood, anxiety, substance use, medical history, prior treatment, and what you want help with now.
The purpose of the evaluation is not just to decide whether a label fits. It is to understand what is getting in your way and what treatment options may realistically help.
Medication options for ADHD
Medication can be helpful for some adults with ADHD. Options may include stimulant or non-stimulant medications depending on the patient’s history, symptoms, safety considerations, and goals.
Stimulant medication may be considered when clinically appropriate, but it is not the only option. Some patients benefit from non-stimulant medications, therapy when available, sleep improvements, structure-building strategies, or treatment of anxiety, depression, or other contributing concerns.
Your provider will talk with you about available options after the assessment and explain the reasoning behind any recommendations.
Therapy and practical support
Therapy is available at Medtriq on a limited basis depending on clinical fit, provider availability, and appointment capacity. For ADHD-related concerns, therapy or coaching-style supports may help with routines, organization, emotional regulation, and follow-through.
If another type of support would be a better fit, your provider may discuss that with you.

FAQ
I think I might have adult ADHD. Can Medtriq help me figure that out?
Yes. Medtriq can evaluate attention and focus concerns in adults. The goal is to understand whether ADHD may be part of the picture and whether other issues, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress, trauma, or substance use, may also be affecting focus.
Does Medtriq prescribe stimulants?
Stimulant medication may be considered when clinically appropriate after a full evaluation. ADHD treatment is individualized, and your provider may also discuss non-stimulant medications, therapy when available, or treatment of other concerns that may be affecting focus.
What if I already took ADHD medication in the past?
That history can be helpful. Your provider may ask what medication you took, how it affected you, whether you had side effects, why it was stopped, and what symptoms are most impairing now. Past treatment does not automatically determine the next plan, but it helps guide the conversation.
What if I want stimulants but I am open to other options?
That is a reasonable thing to discuss honestly during the evaluation. Stimulants may be appropriate for some patients, while others may do better with non-stimulant medication, therapy when available, sleep treatment, anxiety or depression treatment, or practical support around routines and organization.
Can ADHD be evaluated by telehealth?
Many adult ADHD evaluations can begin by telehealth when clinically appropriate. Your provider will review your history and symptoms and discuss what additional information may be helpful.
What if my focus problems are caused by anxiety, depression, or sleep?
That is exactly why the assessment matters. Many conditions can affect attention. If your provider sees signs that anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress, or another issue is contributing, that becomes part of the treatment discussion rather than a reason to dismiss your concerns.
Can ADHD and anxiety happen at the same time?
Yes. ADHD and anxiety can overlap. Some people feel anxious because they are constantly behind, overwhelmed, or struggling to keep up. Others have anxiety that makes concentration worse. Understanding the pattern helps guide treatment.
Does Medtriq provide therapy for ADHD?
Therapy is available on a limited basis depending on clinical fit, provider availability, and appointment capacity. For ADHD-related concerns, therapy may focus on patterns, routines, emotional regulation, and practical follow-through.
How do I get started with ADHD evaluation at Medtriq?
Start by completing the mental health intake form. The intake helps Medtriq understand what you are seeking care for and how to route your request.
Does Medtriq accept commercial insurance for ADHD evaluation?
Medtriq accepts many major commercial insurance plans. ADHD evaluation and follow-up coverage can vary by plan, so completing the intake form or calling/texting Medtriq is the best way to start understanding your options.
Why would I use self-pay for ADHD care if I have insurance?
Some patients choose self-pay because they prefer to limit insurance involvement in mental health care. When insurance is used, information needed for billing and payment may be shared with the health plan and may appear in insurance records or explanations of benefits.
Self-pay may reduce what is sent to insurance for that service, but it does not make care anonymous. Medtriq still maintains medical records and follows applicable privacy laws. If privacy, billing, or documentation is a concern, you can ask Medtriq about self-pay before starting care.
Does Medtriq accept Medicaid or Medicare for ADHD care?
Medicaid and Medicare may be accepted on a limited basis depending on provider availability and current appointment capacity. Patients with Medicaid or Medicare can still complete an intake form or call/text Medtriq to learn more.
