What a life-changing experience— I was here for 30 days and received the best treatment by staff, especially D.Tracee. The intensive therapy is what I needed for a breakthrough. The outings were healing as well as the personal chef! His food was outstanding and he of course, was phenomenal! I would recommend. I am a Better person, I elevated at elevation!

Elevations saved my life. The caring staff and therapists, the amazing food and the beautiful setting, not to mention the lifelong friends I made during my stay- it gave me the tools I needed to want to live my best life again and recover from a traumatic time. My experience permanently changed my brain chemistry and my outlook, as well as my personality. I am a better person and I feel a million times lighter.

They don’t take your phone away, the rooms are nice, you are never forced to do anything that you don’t want to do (including medication). They keep the environment safe and peaceful so you really have time to introspect, journal, do shadow work, and make the most of your treatment. At times things could be a bit disorganized, but overall it was an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone.
Thank you Elevations!

I thought this was overall a tremendous place. It was just what I needed to take a break from the stress of the daily grind and come to terms with some of my problems that have been holding me back. Paris, Brendan, LC, Sia, Gio, Wendy, Ferris were the best techs to have around and Sheri, Greg, Yousef and Leslie were amazing practitioners. At first I had some issues with the program, but after discussing with the management team, we got everything sorted out and it made my stay one that was well worth it. I also had the pleasure of meeting Priya, the owner of the program, who is a wonderful person. I could tell her heart is in the right place and is very passionate about making it the best program possible.. Very professional staff, amazing property and exceptional place!

Went to Kanan Elevation to deal with my self harm regarding substance abuse, depression, and anxiety. Had an incredible time because of the staff and clients. The facilities were nice although the grounds were kinda small. The group therapy sessions were extremely helpful as well as the individual activities. Really the other people there made the experience the most enjoyable and beneficial for me. Very welcoming overall. The chef was excellent and helped me develop and better relationship with eating.

What I am not a fan of is the administration, who I never really met or put any faces to. Rules and protocols were constantly being changed while I was there which made it confusing knowing what I was and wasn't allowed to do. The staff seemed just as confused and in the dark about the policy changes which were made pretty much every day. Some of the rules were even triggering for me personally, mainly regarding food acxess.

I have an eating disorder. The staff was very particular for when I could and couldn't eat. I understand that may be beneficial to other clients but it wasn't for me, and despite expressing that to my therapists they said there was nothing to be done about it because it was policy and their hands were tied. On top of that, I struggle with addiction and it wasn't very discrete that people there were vaping even though its also forbidden. Pretty much every in-patient hospitalization I've been to has had cigs or vapes for their clienrs so it's not too big of an issue. I just don't see why the food restrictions were enforced more strictly han the drug use policies.

Lastly I left a week early against medical advisement. The administration tried their hardest to get me to stay at every turn, even contacting my family to see if they could talk me into staying. They did reiterate to me however thay it was always my decision whether I left or not, so after filling out a bunch of paperwork and being advised to deny their release of information by one of my counselor (good advice honestly), I was finally able to get out. I don't regret my time here, but it could have been better on behalf of the administration (never met them by the way).

Recommend this place for people dealing with addiction, depression, anxiety, or eating disorders. Helped me in those areas.

Elevation Behavior Health helped me get sober and stay sober. I have been to multiple rehabs all over the US and nothing compares to Elevation Behavior Health. I traveled to Elevation from the Midwest. I was looking for a dual diagnosis rehab.. I had a severe/long detox from alcohol. They provided a safe medical detox for me. The housing is just like home. Very comfortable and clean. The groups are small and all in house. The one on one sessions helped me dig deep into my trauma. They helped set up aftercare so I was all set when I got home. I would go back to Elevation if I ever needed to in the future. They are great people and they really care.

If you are looking for a program to get your mental health in order, I would definitely recommend EBH. Everyone suceeds in making you feel safe and comfortable from intake, therapists, tech staff, Chef and hospitality staff. This was definitely an experience that I will never forget and I've created bonds with people. This is really a mental health bootcamp. You will get individual and group therapy daily, EMDR, nuerofeedback, and acupuncture, weekly. Your are nourished by the best Chef in the world, with not just the food but he has a great heart. The therapists are all great people who care immensely about your success. There is also a great case manager that assist with all of your needs during and after your stay. Finally, the techs are some of the most caring people. This organization will provide the help you never knew that you needed all while making you feel like family. There's still work to do once you leave, but they provide you with the tools to keep putting one foot in front of the other. It's definitely a process. I would highly recommend.

The facilities are palatial. Very beautiful and nice. Clients were treated individually and carefully. Our son was given wonderful psycho education to help combat his major depression. His therapist was caring and very helpful to him.They were very flexible to accommodate his dietary needs and therapeutic needs. It is a 30 day program for most people so the work is stabilizing and meant to be a launching point for outpatient work. Before my son went to Elevation, he was not able to manage his mood outpatient and he was severely suicidal. Now he is hopeful, has important tools and skills to manage his anxiety and depression. His status is night and day better. We are grateful
