Question 1

Do you treat adult ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aure Health provides adult ADHD evaluation and ongoing treatment as part of physician-led, longitudinal care with Dr. Sara Hammond, D.O., a board-certified internal medicine physician. Care is available by telehealth in all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam, and in person at the Alpharetta, Georgia clinic.

Question 2

Can I get ADHD treatment without stimulants?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Non-stimulant ADHD treatment is available and is discussed at every evaluation. Non-stimulant medication options, plus sleep, structure, workload, and metabolic factors, are considered together. The plan is chosen with you rather than defaulting to a stimulant prescription.

Question 3

Can I be treated for ADHD if I have a history of addiction or substance use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Hammond has addiction medicine experience and treats adults who have a history of substance use disorder. That history shapes the treatment plan — often toward non-stimulant options and closer follow-up — rather than disqualifying you from care.

Question 4

Why do high-performing adults get diagnosed late?

Accepted Answer

Because output masks the symptoms. Intelligence, long hours, and strong support systems can compensate for years, so the pattern often surfaces only when workload, parenting, perimenopause, or a role change removes the slack. Common signals include difficulty starting tasks despite caring deeply, time blindness, working late to do what should take an hour, and mental exhaustion that sleep does not fix.

Question 5

How is ADHD in women different?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms in women are more often inattentive than hyperactive, and they can shift with hormonal changes — many women notice attention, memory, and emotional regulation worsen during perimenopause. Aure Health evaluates ADHD and perimenopause together rather than treating them as separate conversations.

Question 6

Can ADHD affect weight?

Accepted Answer

It can contribute. Impulsivity, irregular eating, disrupted sleep, and difficulty maintaining routines all influence weight and metabolic health. Because Aure Health also provides obesity medicine and metabolic care, ADHD and weight management can be addressed in the same plan instead of by two disconnected clinicians.

Question 7

Are controlled-substance prescriptions available by telehealth?

Accepted Answer

When clinically appropriate and permitted by federal and state telehealth rules for your state. Those rules can require an in-person visit in some situations; your physician will tell you directly if that applies to you.

Question 8

What does ADHD care cost?

Accepted Answer

ADHD evaluation and treatment are included in Aure Membership ($489/month, $5,868 annually). Without a membership, an initial baseline visit is $399 and follow-up visits are $225. Aure Health is direct-pay and does not bill insurance; membership is HSA/FSA eligible and a superbill is available on request.
