Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD

Anyone know of an inpatient/residential ADHD treatment program for adults in the U.S. that they would recommend? There seems to be a fair number of clinics that offer the programs and I need to narrow it down....

Inpatient treatment programs can be the best first step for helping some individuals start the process of healing from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, especially when complex comorbid disorders are present. Entering into an inpatient program affords individuals the opportunity to step away from the stresses of their everyday lives and instead place all of their energy and focus onto becoming well again. Through a variety of therapeutic interventions, inpatient treatment programs offer individuals with ADHD the chance to develop the coping skills needed to manage daily responsibilities, learn the tools needed to manage their behaviors, and, in some cases, meet with a psychiatrist on a consistent basis in order to begin a regimen of psychotropic medication that can assist in fully alleviating their distressing symptoms.
