STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- ADDapt, a dynamic mental
health service organization, cites a recent scientific study which raises
serious concerns about the high rate of psychiatric medications being
prescribed in the U.S. and the negative impact this may be having on access to
other forms of treatment. This study was published in the January, 2003 issue
of Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. Dr. Melhim Restum, founder
of ADDapt, commented, "While medication is sometimes necessary, it is
essential that we include the 'human element' by teaching a wide range of life
skills that can help individuals, families and couples cope with the
challenges of these conditions." ADDapt has announced its Spring program
which begins the week of March 10, 2003, and includes the following state-of-
the-art, eight-week workshops:
* Social Skills Training: Highly acclaimed ADDept Program (children and
adolescents)
* Academic Survival and Success Skills (children and adolescents)
* Anger Management and Conflict Resolution (children and adolescents)
* Life Skills for Adults with ADD/ADHD
ADDapt also features:
* Comprehensive Evaluations and a wide range of treatment options
* An informative web site: www.addaptmichigan.com
* FREE telephone consultations for new clients
ADDapt founder is Dr. Melhim Restum, a Licensed Psychologist with 28 years
of experience successfully treating individuals and families in Southeast
Michigan affected by ADD/ADHD and related conditions. Dr. Restum and the
ADDapt team have hosted hundreds of seminar attendees who have learned about
this innovative program through local newspapers such as the Detroit News,
