Authentic Long-term Treatment

Chronic Relapse Program

Authentic Long-term Treatment

Progress-Based Treatment For The Chronic Relapser

Burning Tree Ranch is the nation’s only authentic long-term treatment program designed exclusively for the chronic relapser. We utilize 12 Step Immersion, Addiction Medicine, and a host of Evidence Based Practices to help free the chronically addicted person from the cycle of relapse. By providing structure and accountability we aid the chronic relapser in establishing an honest foundation in permanent recovery while preparing them for sobriety outside of treatment. Core principles such as honesty, integrity, and excellence form the basis of our client experience as they achieve readiness to transition into our therapeutically coordinated aftercare program. Graduation ceremonies for our Burning Tree Ranch clients typically correlate with 2 years of continuous sobriety.
“Time is the wisest counselor of all.”

Addiction, Mental Health, and Time

As a chronic relapse facility, we treat difficult, advanced stages of addiction that have not been mended in other, shorter-term treatment episodes. Oftentimes, for the chronic relapser, there are serious mental health disorders that correspond to their substance abuse patterns. If not treated properly, these underlying conditions may lend themselves to progressively worse stages of relapse. At Burning Tree Ranch, we acknowledge the vast, multi-faceted complexities faced by the chronic relapser and their family. Our program is designed to offer the appropriate amount of time to identify, treat, and recover from chronic addiction in a dual diagnosis setting.
FIND RECOVERY
Burning Tree clients come from all over the nation. Many have been to 5, 10, and even 25 treatment programs. Some have been to fewer, some more. Regardless of the number, all have one thing in common: they have not been able to achieve meaningful, long-term sobriety. Most programs in the nation feature short, 30 to 90-day treatment episodes. Some may claim longer periods of treatment, but those time frames are typically inflated by counting outpatient, not inpatient days. At Burning Tree Ranch, we consider long-term treatment to include a minimum of 8 to 9 months of intensive, residential inpatient treatment. As a strictly progress-based treatment center, Burning Tree measures clinical benchmarks, not calendar days. If the patient has not reached the expected therapeutic milestones, treatment completion becomes an open-ended process, and the patient does not move forward until ready.

Working as a team

"No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it."
– H.E. Luccock
Executing dynamic treatment requires a steadfast commitment to teamwork. We believe that uniting the family with our treatment approach provides the very best opportunity for the chronic relapser to make a full and permanent recovery. For a football team to be successful, the linemen, receivers, and quarterback all have to be on the same page, running the same play. If one of them falters, the game doesn’t come off so well. At Burning Tree Ranch, we coordinate all the players on the loved one’s treatment team to operate as one, expertly trained unit. In this way, when the play is called, the loved ones’ treatment continues to be executed flawlessly.
MEET THE RANCH TEAM

First things first

First, we help the loved one and family set aside everything they think they know about treatment, inviting them to open their hearts and minds to a brand-new experience. It is helpful to remind our families that their loved ones did not grow sick in a matter of days, nor months. For most, this was a many year’s process. At Burning Tree Ranch, we invite our families to look honestly at their loved one, and honestly at themselves. Above all else, we are seeking permanent, lifetime solutions to a host of very complex issues. For chronic relapse treatment to be successful we require time, teamwork, and honesty. Honesty being chief among them.

EXPLORE THE RANCH

Why honesty?

Honesty is the chief ingredient in humility. When we are able to be humble, we are able to be honest. Once we honestly observe the damage caused by chronic addiction, we begin to see clearly that an easy solution will not be had. Surprisingly, letting go of the easier, softer ways can sometimes be difficult hurdles for our clients and families to navigate. On occasion, our families may wander back into the territory of thinking they know best. Utilizing honesty, we invite our families and clients to take a humble inventory of the past, and to look plainly at what brought them here. This thorough evaluation begins to reinform their relationship with honesty, leading to deeper levels of clarity and surrender. In the end, they realize that their ideas have not worked. Finally, they begin to let go, and trust a new process. This is the first step in creating a life of excellence beyond sobriety.
IMPORTANCE OF HONESTY

Proper Diagnosis at our Long-Term Treatment Facility

Burning Tree addresses co-occurring disorders that may have blocked our clients from achieving recovery in previous, shorter-term treatment episodes. We do this in an intimate, progress-based setting that integrates world-class clinical interventions with useful, esteem-building life skills. Each of our clients undergo advanced psychological screenings, clinical evaluations, and medical assessments to determine the best, most tailored treatment plans for their needs.
For someone struggling with chronic relapse, less therapy, and less treatment are not the answer. Chronic relapsers need a community that encourages accountability, proper therapy, and a design for living fully.
