Elements Behavioral Health aims to be the premiere provider of evidence-based addiction treatment that addresses not only the addiction, but also any underlying issues that may have precipitated or reinforced alcohol or drug abuse. Elements has the distinction of being led by board-certified Addiction Psychiatrist Dr. David Sack, who ensures our treatment programs, from our bucolic ranch near Nashville to our luxury rehab in Malibu, provide world-class treatment and exceptional clinical services.

We have filled a critical gap in eating disorder treatment options by developing a program for those who need therapeutic and clinical support but do not need to be in a hospital setting. We do this in the unique atmosphere of a beautiful home on a working horse ranch. Equine therapy is just one of the powerful methods we use to help our clients with bulimia, anorexia, or binge eating disorder.

Sexual Addiction Treatment

Sex addiction can take many forms – online infidelity, seeking out prostitutes, pornography addiction – but the underlying issues are the same: they can’t or don’t know how to get their emotional needs met in healthier ways. The Internet has made it that much easier for those with compulsive sexual behavior to seek out ways to satisfy their compulsion.

Trauma and PTSD Treatment

Those who experience a life-changing, traumatic event and do not get the psychological support they need can suffer from years of depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and compulsive behaviors. PTSD impacts your emotional, psychological, and physical health. We create a warm, embracing environment where trauma clients can feel safe as they work through their fears and emotions.

Mood & Personality Disorders

Depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder are mood disorders that can seriously disrupt your life and undermine your ability to be happy and productive. We address these issues in some of the most dynamic and healing environments possible: among the rolling hills of a ranch where the natural setting, the wildlife, and the horses are all part of the growth and healing process.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Although many treatment programs claim to include dual diagnosis treatment, it is often simply an afterthought. An exceptional treatment program will develop a clear clinical program for the specific purpose of treating the underlying issues that may fuel an addiction or eating disorder. Dual diagnosis treatment must be a primary part of the treatment program, not simply an ancillary treatment option.

Elements Behavioral Health

Elements Behavioral Health aims to become the premier company that fills the gaps in mental health, addiction, eating disorder, and trauma treatment. Our current facilities include luxury treatment at our Promises Malibu drug rehab; young adult drug treatment at Promises in Mar Vista; eating disorder, trauma, mood disorder, and sexual addiction treatment at The Ranch in Tennessee; addiction treatment at The Recovery Place in Florida, and outpatient sexual addiction treatment in Los Angeles. Our goal is for full recovery and well being with permanent life change and life style improvement and not just symptom reduction. Our goal is to help create extraordinary lives.
