It’s not unusual for us to treat career professionals from all walks of life at Burning Tree Ranch, but families are often surprised how common it is for us to work with doctors and nurses. What is it about the professionals that work in the healthcare industry that makes them more prone to substance abuse and chronic relapse?
Entitlement in addiction is a tricky beast. It’s not always obvious, but its impact on recovery can be devastating. We treat a lot of different kinds of mental health disorders at Burning Tree Ranch, and so I’ve watched countless individuals struggle with this mindset. Usually, they don’t even realize how it undermines their efforts to get sober. It’s a self-defeating behavior that also tends to push away others that might try to offer us help.
My name is Olivia, and I’m a proud alumna of Burning Tree Ranch. This is the story of my many failed treatment attempts and the change that happened when my family turned to Burning Tree.
Food addiction and binge eating disorders are rarely given the attention they deserve when it comes to discussing substance abuse and mental health. They’re often overlooked or untreated in a dual diagnosis because the link to substance use is not always clear.
In recovery, honesty is about the stories we tell ourselves and the intricate dance between continued addiction or a new era of recovery, between the selfish compulsion to lie, cut corners, and evade, or the countervailing approach to living life with integrity and honesty.
One of the most telling signs of the chronic relapse struggle is returning a poor response to constructive feedback. It’s a red flag that’s often overlooked but is so important to recognize and work through if we want to achieve a lasting recovery.
The supporting evidence from national studies including the National Institute of Drug Abuse indicate that a high-quality long-term treatment program like the one at Burning Tree Ranch likely yields the most positive, lasting recovery outcomes.
Financial concerns are often an initial piece of resistance to pursuing treatment programs, while simultaneously acting as significant motivation for families to finally invest in resources that bring lasting sobriety for their loved one. Eventually, the growing costs of seeking sobriety becomes the elephant in the room.
