Austin Families: You've Tried Everything. So Had Mine.
I’m Brook McKenzie, CEO of Burning Tree Ranch – and once, a chronic relapser.
My family tried everything: therapy, short-term rehabs, tough love. Nothing worked – until I committed to the long-term process at Burning Tree Ranch. It took time, pain, and real accountability. But it gave me a life I never thought possible.
I don’t have all the answers – but if you’re in Austin and ready to explore long-term recovery, I’ll talk with you directly and honestly.

Why Long-Term Treatment is the Answer for Chronic Relapsers
Short-term programs (30, 60, or even 90 days) often aren’t enough for people struggling with long-standing addiction and co-occurring mental health issues.
Burning Tree Ranch specializes in long-term, dual-diagnosis treatment for individuals who have been to treatment before and continue to relapse. Our clients stay with us for 8 to 14 months, and our entire model is built to support profound, lasting transformation.
We help clients develop:
- Emotional and behavioral accountability
- Structure, purpose, and integrity
- The ability to live sober lives in the real world – not just in treatment
Supporting Families From Across the Austin Metro
We serve clients and families from Austin, Westlake Hills, Round Rock, or anywhere throughout Travis County. We believe that overcoming chronic addiction requires a high degree of structure, accountability, and support throughout an extended recovery journey, and that’s exactly what our Texas-based treatment center is designed to provide.
Distance and time are both valuable resources. They help separate the person from toxic environments, destructive patterns, and enabling relationships – creating room for real change.
What Sets Burning Tree Apart?
We are not a luxury rehab or a quick fix. We are a purpose-built program designed specifically for chronic relapsers.
Our Unique Approach Includes:
- Long-term residential care (8–14 months)
- Full psychiatric and trauma-informed support
- Lifetime aftercare and transitional planning
- Spiritual development rooted in the 12 Steps
- A culture built on truth, accountability, and emotional honesty
We do not discharge clients based on the time they spend in treatment. We discharge them based on provable progress.

- Has completed multiple treatment programs without success
- Suffers from untreated or misdiagnosed mental health conditions
- Struggles to maintain sobriety even in structured settings
- Continues to face severe consequences despite repeated help
