Does Your Loved One Struggle With Mental Health?
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimates that 45 percent of individuals who suffer from addiction share a co-occurring mental health disorder.
- Extreme mood swings and risky behavior
- Self-medicating or drinking just to sleep or stay awake
- Emotional outbursts followed immediately by drinking or drug use
- Binge eating or not eating for extended periods
- Manipulating family members to continue substance use
Burning Tree Ranch addresses the underlying mental health conditions that keep the addicted person trapped in the cycle of relapse.
Why Hasn’t Short-Term Treatment Worked?
Because your loved one’s problem isn’t surface-level—and short-term solutions don’t reach the root.
- Accurate diagnosis takes time—especially with layered psychiatric issues
- Resistance runs deep, and they’ve learned how to manipulate the system
- Repeated stays have only made them better at playing the part
- Sobriety isn’t enough—they need to rebuild how they live, think, and relate to others
Short-term programs can interrupt a crisis temporarily, but they can’t transform a life. That’s what we’re here for.
What Makes Long-Term Treatment Work for Them?
Chronic addiction is more than a habit—it’s a deeply entrenched way of living. The unique structure of our program is built to ignite fundamental, lasting changes.
- Time to uncover and treat complex mental health and emotional disorders
- A multi-phase continuum of care designed for lasting, not temporary, change
- Focus on deep shifts in behavior, attitude, and core belief systems
- Length of stay based on progress—not a calendar date
We don’t count days. We track behavioral transformation through progress-based milestones.
What If They’re Not Willing to Start Long-Term Treatment?
When someone has been through multiple programs with no lasting change, resistance is part of the pattern. We know the path forward.
- We guide families out of enabling roles and into firm, loving boundaries
- We collaborate with legal, medical, and financial systems to encourage change
- We ask the question that matters: What are they actually willing to do to change?
- We customize a path forward, holding them accountable from day one
Long-term treatment isn’t for the ready. It’s for the willing—and the willing are often made, not found.
