Elements Behavioral Health, a leading nationwide provider of addiction and mental health treatment programs, announced on December 18, 2013 that it has acquired Journey Healing Centers’ network of drug and alcohol treatment centers in Arizona and Utah.

Journey Healing Centers provides personalized dual diagnosis treatment for substance use and mental health disorders in Scottsdale, Arizona and Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded in 2002 by Joshua and Lisa Lannon with one center and a staff of four, Journey Healing Centers has since expanded to six locations with more than 100 team members.

Journey Healing Centers provides the full continuum of addiction treatment services, from residential treatment and sober living to day treatment and intensive outpatient care. Its network of treatment centers is accredited by the Joint Commission and includes a wide range of program offerings:
  • The Retreat, Scottsdale, AZ – an exclusive residential substance abuse and dual diagnosis treatment center in an idyllic setting in the high desert that offers world-class amenities including a gourmet chef, a private pool and Jacuzzi, and an onsite gym.
  • The Sundance Center, Scottsdale, AZ – a residential addiction and dual diagnosis treatment center located in a private residential neighborhood in Scottsdale.
