How Do I Know If My Loved One is a Fit for Burning Tree Ranch?
Progress and Setbacks on the Journey to Lasting Recovery
Progress and setbacks are natural parts of life, and this applies to long-term recovery. Families can better navigate the ups and downs of supporting a loved one in recovery by celebrating incremental successes, understanding the reasons behind setbacks, focusing on their well-being, and learning to recognize real commitment.
Our treatment is long-term because it is based on progress. We provide our clients the space and time to make full, permanent recoveries.
The Importance of Family Involvement
Families can be powerful allies in the long-term recovery by educating themselves, setting loving boundaries, prioritizing their well-being, and remaining vigilant for signs of trouble. Their involvement, support, and commitment are integral to breaking the cycle of chronic relapse and promoting lasting healing for the entire family system.
The 4 Phases of Our Long-Term Treatment Program
The complete long-term treatment program at Burning Tree Ranch is broken up into four key phases. We start with full residential treatment before transitioning into aftercare and independent living.
Intensive Residential Programming
Clients are immersed in our progress-based clinical environment’s structure, routine, and disciplines for chronic relapse. Everything in Phase 1 is designed to support the client in sobriety outside of treatment.
- Location: Kaufman, TX
- Emphasis: To establish the foundation for permanent recovery outside of treatment.
Supportive Residential Programming
Clients engage in a combination of continued residential treatment with overnight weekend passes to our aftercare programming & transitional living. This phase is designed to evaluate readiness for a full transition into aftercare.
- Location: Kaufman & Dallas, TX
- Emphasis: To establish the client’s preparedness to take on more responsibility in early sobriety.
Tailored Aftercare & Supportive Living
Clients reside in our gender-specific supportive housing while attending aftercare, gaining employment, continuing case management, participating in the AA community, making amends, and pursuing deeper engagements with the recovery community.
- Location: Dallas, TX
- Emphasis: For the client to become fully self-supporting while growing in sobriety, responsibility, & self awareness.
Tailored Aftercare & Independent Living
Clients become eligible for independent living with an approved sober peer while continuing their aftercare commitment, growing in their recovery disciplines, and maintaining consistent, self-supporting employment.
- Location: Dallas, TX
- Emphasis: Preparing for complete independence financially, emotionally, & spiritually.
The Journey Begins
Clients graduate the entire Burning Tree continuum of care with a strong foundation of sobriety, a comprehensive set of life skills, and a renewed purpose in life.
Celebrating Milestones on the Path to Recovery
Celebrating milestones in long-term recovery is essential to sustaining progress and hope. By offering affirmation, recognizing the distance traveled, and envisioning a future of purpose and service, families can help their loved ones build the resilience and determination needed for a lifetime of recovery. Each milestone serves as a reminder that change is possible and that a fulfilling life awaits those who persist in their healing journey.
Recognizing How Far You’ve Traveled Together
For individuals with a history of chronic relapse, recognizing how far they’ve come may involve looking back at previous attempts at sobriety and noting the increased duration, stability, and quality of life in their current recovery. It may also include celebrating the improved relationships, educational or vocational successes, and personal growth they’ve experienced.

Long-term treatment at Burning Tree provides the time needed to address complex cases of chronic relapse and co-occurring disorders. Our program focuses on sustainable recovery through comprehensive mental health care, life skills development, and family involvement.
Burning Tree’s long-term program is progress-based rather than time-limited, so there is no set duration for treatment. The duration is determined by each client’s individual progress through our four-phase system.
We specialize in treating chronic relapsers with various substance addictions and co-occurring mental health disorders. Our expertise includes addressing complex cases of addiction alongside conditions like depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.
Clients engage in a clinically structured routine of individual and group therapy. Some of these sessions may include equine therapy, neurofeedback, and psychiatry. The schedule, while rigorous, is designed to promote healing, personal growth, and the development of crucial recovery skills.
Families are integral to our treatment approach. Our mission is to help heal family dynamics and equip loved ones with tools to support long-term recovery. Please contact us to learn more about how our approach to family is different.
Following residential treatment, clients transition through our phases of decreasing structure and increasing independence. This includes supportive housing, continued therapy, and gradual reintegration into work and community life.
We focus on comprehensive relapse prevention strategies, teaching clients how to take personal accountability of their actions, manage stress, and build a strong support network. Our aftercare program provides ongoing 360-degree support and accountability to maintain sobriety.
If a client relapses or struggles with the program, we reassess their treatment plan and provide additional support. Our goal is to understand the underlying issues and adjust the approach to ensure long-term success.
Advanced addiction often requires complex forms of leverage beyond basic intervention. We strongly recommend you contact Burning Tree as early as possible so that we may help consult on creating an effective intervention that is decisive, compassionate, and effective.
The cost of long-term treatment varies based on the duration and specific needs of each client. We encourage families to contact our admissions team for detailed information about costs.
