Read the compelling recovery story of Burning Tree Founder David Elliot
Davidโs journey into long-term sobriety was born of a moment of clarity.
Like many who enter the Ranch, his awakening did not come at the end of a bender, but while fully sober in a treatment center.
David remembers the early days of his recovery like this, โI would be completely surrendered one minute, and the next minute Iโd be back into self-will, wanting to cheat, wanting to lie, and recalling that moment on my knees, and my pledge to God.โ
โPitiful and incomprehensible demoralization,โ David calls it. โThatโs what it was.โ
On his knees again, now on a daily basis, David was finally able to accept the terms for a full and useful life in recovery.
What was he to do with it?
From the very beginning David wanted to create a similar program to the one he attended in Arizona. He knew he wanted it to be a ranch setting, 12-step based, and long-term.
In the late 1990โs, the nation had more than its fair share of 30-day treatment providers. But what about the chronic relapser? What about the persons for whom short-term treatment had not worked? Where would they go? How would they be helped?
Davidโs most puzzling question persisted, โwhy are there no treatment centers based on the individualโs progress?โ
Searching all over South Texas and the Hill Country, David engaged in a 2-year endeavor that took him to many properties, all of which fell through. By chance, he was encouraged to look at some ranches near the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
One of those was Burning Tree Ranch.
Spanning 2,000 rolling acres, punctuated with ponds, small lakes, and tree lines, the drive was just 45 minutes southeast of Dallas, TX.
โThis could work,โ David mused.
HISTORICAL PHOTOS OF THE RANCH:
After two years of searching, Davidโs biggest supporter, his mother, came with him to see the Burning Tree property. As they approached the gated entrance, Davidโs mother turned to him and asked, โDavid, how do you continue to do this, to go on with this search?โ
โI get on my knees, Mom, and I ask God to take me wherever He would have me be of maximum service to Him and my fellows.โ
โBut David, how do you know if here is where God would have you be?โ
โWell, Iโve never seen a burning bush, Mom, but Iโฆโ
At this very moment, David and his mother pulled up to the entrance to the property. In bold lettering, they read the signage above, BURNING TREE RANCH.
Astonished, they both looked at each other, โthis must be it!โ
From humble beginnings
From humble beginnings, Burning Tree Ranch has evolved into what it is today.
Designed to help the chronically addicted loved one overcome addiction, establish a healthy and productive life, and achieve permanent freedom from relapse, Burning Tree Ranch is a progress-based inpatient and aftercare program, specializing in the treatment of addiction and co-occurring disorders.
Hosting six family workshops per year, a 3-day family program, and an annual reunion, Burning Tree relies on the fundamental methods of addiction medicine, evidence-based therapies, and twelve-step immersion to help effect permanent sobriety and whole-family healing.
While other treatment centers invest in keeping their clients comfortable, cozy, and happy, Burning Tree Ranch invests in the therapeutic value of honesty, integrity, and excellence. We are a long-term, progress-based program designed to address the root causes of addiction and establish an unshakable foundation in life-long recovery.
While the work we do is complex and time-consumingโฆ
โฆIt is also lasting.
