A Louisiana native, psychiatrist Dr. Abdul Majid Khan brings a holistic and empathetic approach to mental health care, serving as medical director for both Regions Behavioral Health and Elemental Health in Baton Rouge. Through these complementary organizations, Dr. Khan oversees the delivery of compassionate, evidence-based care across the full mental health spectrum.
Regions Behavioral Health: Acute and Intensive Care
Dr. Khan has served as the medical director of Regions Behavioral Health since February 2019. The facility focuses on adults aged 18 and older and provides critical services, including an acute inpatient unit with a notable 75 percent voluntary admission rate; an evening substance use intensive outpatient program; and a mental health intensive outpatient program accepting Medicare and select Medicaid plans.
Elemental Health: Specialized Outpatient Treatment
In 2023, Dr. Khan and colleague Marc Crawford founded Elemental Health. Since opening its doors, Elemental Health has earned recognition as a premier provider of intensive outpatient therapy for adults with mental health concerns. The program specifically caters to high-functioning individuals with commercial insurance—offering specialized intensive outpatient therapy, integrated with medication management, for compassionate and effective treatment outcomes.
Community Impact
Regions Behavioral Health and Elemental Health regularly collaborate with other mental and physical health professionals and organizations within the community. Born out of identified needs in Baton Rouge, both organizations are rapidly gaining recognition as leading mental health providers, particularly when swift, positive outcomes are essential.
