About David
David Elliott serves as the Founder and President of Burning Tree Programs. Responsible for architecting the vision of the organization, David’s chief mission is to promote lasting change in the lives of those suffering from chronic relapse.
With a hands-on approach, involved presence, and unyielding commitment to excellence, David serves as the heartbeat of our organization’s steadfast commitment to long-term, progress-based treatment. “My favorite part of what we do is to witness the evolution that individuals undergo during the course of treatment at Burning Tree.” An avid dog lover, Mr. Elliott resides in Dallas, TX. He has been sober since 1992.
History With Burning Tree
As the founder of Burning Tree Programs, David Elliott’s history with the organization is the organization’s history. Sober since 1992, he built Burning Tree around a conviction that the chronic relapser requires something fundamentally different — long-term, progress-based treatment rooted in accountability and excellence.
Why Long-Term Treatment
David founded Burning Tree on a premise that remains central to everything the organization does: that lasting recovery for the chronic relapser demands more than short-term intervention.
His vision has always centered on creating an environment where individuals have the time, structure, and accountability to undergo genuine change — not just stabilization, but transformation. That philosophy continues to guide Burning Tree’s approach to treatment today.
