ADHD Treatment in Colorado Springs, CO

Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods with Colorado Springs in the background — Colorado Springs has one of the largest military communities in the country. Many veterans and service members have ADHD that's been missed for years.

ADHD in a Military Town

Colorado Springs is built around the military. Fort Carson. Peterson Space Force Base. Schriever. The Air Force Academy. NORAD. If you live here, there's a good chance you or someone you love has served.

And here's something a lot of people don't know: ADHD is extremely common in the military community. Some studies say active-duty service members are diagnosed at higher rates than civilians. And plenty more have it but were never tested.

Why? Because the military gave you structure. You had a schedule. You had orders. You had accountability. That structure is like a crutch for an ADHD brain. It works -- until you don't have it anymore.

When the Structure Goes Away

This is the story we hear over and over:

You did fine in the service. Maybe you even thrived. The routine worked for you. You knew where to be and when. You had a clear mission every day.

Then you got out. Or you moved to a desk job. Or you retired. And suddenly everything fell apart.

You can't get to appointments on time. Bills pile up. You start projects and never finish. Your spouse says you "never listen." You lose your temper over small things.

The VA might call it adjustment issues. Or anxiety. Or PTSD. And maybe some of that is true. But what if ADHD is underneath all of it -- and nobody thought to check?

ADHD and PTSD Look a Lot Alike

This is the part that trips people up. ADHD and PTSD share a lot of symptoms:

Trouble concentrating. Feeling restless. Forgetting things. Losing your temper. Trouble sleeping. Zoning out during conversations.

If you walk into a VA clinic with those symptoms, they're going to look at your service record and think PTSD. And they might be right. But ADHD could also be part of the picture -- or the whole picture.

The difference matters. PTSD treatment and ADHD treatment are not the same thing. If you're being treated for one but actually have the other (or both), you're going to keep struggling.

A proper ADHD evaluation sorts this out. It looks at your whole life -- not just your service years.

How ADHD One Works

We're not the VA. We don't have a 6-week intake process. We don't make you fill out 20 forms before you can talk to a human.

Step 1: Reach out. Call (855) 468-2343 or fill out the form on this page. No referral needed. No hoops.

Step 2: Get evaluated. A licensed psychiatric provider talks with you one-on-one by video. They ask about your childhood, your time in service, and what life looks like now. The goal is to figure out what's actually going on. Here's what the evaluation includes.

Step 3: Get treated. If ADHD is part of the picture, your provider builds a plan with you. Medication, strategies, or both. There are a lot of medication options -- our comparison breaks down every choice.

Most people get seen within days. No months-long wait. No red tape.

Not Just for Veterans

This article talks a lot about the military because that's a big part of Colorado Springs. But ADHD doesn't care about your background.

If you're a teacher at a D49 school who can't focus during lesson planning, we can help. If you're a parent in Briargate who loses track of every permission slip, we can help. If you're a remote worker in Manitou Springs who stares at your laptop for hours and gets nothing done, we can help.

ADHD is ADHD. The brain chemistry is the same whether you wore a uniform or not.

Can I Use ADHD One Alongside the VA?

Yes. A lot of our patients in Colorado Springs also use VA services for other things. That's fine. We handle the ADHD evaluation and medication management. Your VA care continues as normal.

If you're already on medication through the VA and it's not working, we can take a fresh look. Sometimes a different medication or a different dose makes all the difference. Here's the simplest path to finding what works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ADHD be diagnosed in veterans?

Yes. ADHD is a lifelong condition that many veterans have had since childhood, even if it was never formally diagnosed. A proper check-up looks at your full history -- not just your time in service -- to determine whether ADHD is present.

Can I have both ADHD and PTSD?

Yes. Having one doesn't rule out the other. In fact, people with ADHD may be more likely to develop PTSD after traumatic experiences. A thorough check-up can identify both and help you get the right treatment for each.

Do you accept TRICARE or VA insurance?

Insurance coverage varies. Contact us at (855) 468-2343 and we'll verify whether your specific plan is accepted before scheduling your appointment.

Will my ADHD diagnosis affect my security clearance?

An ADHD diagnosis alone does not typically affect a security clearance. Seeking treatment for a medical condition is generally viewed positively. However, individual circumstances vary, so consult your security officer if you have specific concerns.

How is ADHD One different from going through the VA?

We offer faster access (days, not months), dedicated ADHD-focused providers, and a streamlined process with no referral chain. Many patients use us for ADHD care while continuing other VA services separately.
