Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) March 15, 2012
The Being Well Center (BWC), an Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder diagnostic and treatment center located in Pittsburgh, PA, has expanded its services to include a technology-driven treatment track for patients located around the world. Over more than 30 years, The Being Well Center has treated nearly 10,000 ADD/ADHD patients, providing carefully monitored medication plans and success-driven, life-strategies to people across the lifespan. Now, children, college students, and adults around the world have access to the expert ADD/ADHD diagnostic and treatment services of The Being Well Center.
I constantly encounter people who worry about getting an accurate diagnosis for ADD/ADHD and proper medication treatment, recounts BWC founder and medical director, Dr. Craig B. Liden. People ask me repeatedly if I can recommend an effective, personalized ADD/ADHD center near them. Until now, Ive had to answer honestly: No. Now, with advances in communication technology and the breadth of expertise offered at The Being Well Center, I can answer: Yes. The Being Well Center now meets patients whenever, wherever, worldwide.
Long Distance Services at The Being Well Center begin with an in-person visit to its Pittsburgh, PA Center to ensure accurate diagnosis and the development of a comprehensive treatment plan. The Centers care continues via long-distance follow-up with the BWCs diverse experts: physicians, physicians assistants, nurses, counselors, educators, speech therapists, and dieticians.
The Being Well Centers Long Distance Services include an initial on-site visit to The Being Well Center in Pittsburgh, PA. We feel its vital to know our patients personally, explains Jane Reck, Director of Client Services. Were like a big extended family here, and with the initial four-day visit, we like to welcome our new patients into our circle. We follow systematic procedures to ensure an accurate, detailed assessment of all the contributors to an individuals difficulties so we can develop a Success Plan thats unique to the individual. The initial visit, referred to as the Intensive Evaluation and Success Planning visit, or i-ESP, combines an extensive series of structured interviews and a neurodevelopmental assessment with intensive, targeted counseling, and carefully monitored medication trial testing to ensure the development of an independently tailored Success Plan.
Once an accurate diagnosis has been made and a Success Plan for treatment created during the i-ESP, Long Distance Patients receive follow-up care, as determined in the Success Plan, through The Being Well Center by meeting with case coordinators, nurses, dieticians, and speech therapists via internet-enabled technologies, including the BWCs proprietary GuideU service. Infrequent periodic follow-up visits to the BWC in Pittsburgh may be necessary, as determined by each individuals need.
Our Long Distance patients are able to receive the expertise and personal care of The Being Well Center at their convenience, from their homes or workplaces, relates Terri West, Associate Medical Director. In fact, one of our fastest growing communities within our Long Distance Services program is college students. While National statistics suggest that only 15% of ADD/ADHD college students graduate from higher education institutions within six years, 81% of the BWCs patients in the Confidence@College program are progressing satisfactorily toward a degree. Now, living a successful life with ADD/ADHD is much more possible at home, work or college, Dr. Liden asserts, because our patients can access The Being Well Center for support anyplace, anytime.
