The Quest for ADHD Treatment in Canada: Your Affordable, Efficient Ally

Living with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a daily test of perseverance, one often steeped in frustration and confusion, particularly for those unsure about where to turn for help. But the journey to the right treatment doesn't need to be a complex maze. As a Canadian looking for answers, you have three paths towards an ADHD diagnosis and treatment. Each one comes with its own set of considerations around cost, accessibility, and efficacy. Your task is to find the option that aligns best with your needs—a decision we're here to simplify.

In Canada, over a million individuals grapple with ADHD. Alarmingly, more than half of these adults remain undiagnosed, hence untreated—a predicament often arising from the long waits and high costs associated with ADHD diagnosis and treatment.

At Finding Focus, we are poised to change this scenario. We are dedicated to offering ADHD care that is not just high-quality but also affordable, efficient, and accessible to every Canadian in need. So how does Finding Focus measure up against provincial health care or private clinics?

Examining Your Options

When you begin seeking treatment for ADHD, you are met with 3 choices, provincial health coverage, private clinics, and virtual health providers such as Finding Focus.

Provincial Health Coverage:

Provincial health coverage, the publicly-funded healthcare system, may be the first port of call for many. While it does provide care, including ADHD assessments, to all citizens and permanent residents, navigating this system for ADHD diagnosis and treatment can be a complicated process. The hurdles can range from long waiting periods to sporadic and often generic care.

Private Clinics:

The second path you might consider is private clinics. These institutions might promise a faster service than provincial health care, but it comes at a considerable cost. Private clinics can charge anywhere between $3000 to $5000 for an ADHD assessment, and even then, you could face a waiting period of 6-12 months.

Finding Focus - Virtual Care with a Difference:

Your third choice, and perhaps the one that offers the most balance, is a virtual provider like Finding Focus. Our mission is to integrate the best features of public and private healthcare, creating an accessible and affordable option for everyone. At Finding Focus, an ADHD assessment is priced at just $399—significantly lower than private clinics—and our ongoing care model is $25/month. Perhaps the greatest benefit to this model is the speed of access to an assessment. While some virtual providers can takes weeks for an initial appointment, Finding Focus appointments are now available fast - usually next day – eliminating a barrier that typically causes patients to put off the critical first step.
