It was announced today that Elements Behavioral Health acquired The Recovery Place addiction treatment center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The Recovery Place is one of Florida’s premier drug and alcohol treatment centers. Since 2007, it has offered residential, day and outpatient addiction programs as well as a specialized dual diagnosis track, a Christian track and a trauma recovery program. Recognizing that addiction impacts the entire family system, treatment includes an educational and interactive family program.

The home-like facility has 24-hour staff supervision, complete with barbecue and pool areas, and walk just a few steps away each day to the treatment center for counseling, education and support groups. To ensure that clients develop the tools essential for lasting recovery, the staff provides training in meal planning, budgeting and other life skill areas.

The Recovery Place brings unique offerings to the Elements network of programs, including a Christian addiction program. This program combines Christian-centered therapy led by a Christian drug counselor with traditional addiction treatments such as psycho-educational groups, relapse prevention planning and 12-Step recovery.

The Recovery Place also has full accreditation by the Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO). The Recovery Place is contracted with several insurance companies and accepts most major insurance plans.

“We proudly welcome The Recovery Place to the Elements family of programs. Since 2008, we have sought to ‘fill the gaps’ in mental health treatment, and The Recovery Place – with its comprehensive and affordable programs – will play an integral role in helping us do that,” said Dr. David Sack, CEO of Elements Behavioral Health.

“The Recovery Place, with its range of services from residential to outpatient to extended care, is an exciting addition to Elements,” said Keith Arnold, VP of Operations at Elements. “Its Christian addiction program, affordable cost, and emphasis on long-term aftercare and monitoring will complement and expand our services as we spread our reach to families on the east coast.”

Elements Behavioral Health is a family of behavioral health care programs that includes Promises Treatment Centers.
