About Burning Tree Ranch

Located in Kaufman, Texas, Burning Tree Ranch is a charming facility that offers drug rehab services to individuals suffering from drug and alcohol addictions. They make it a point to mention that they specialize in helping people who are in advanced stages of addiction who perhaps have tried and failed to recover at other clinics.

They offer long-term treatment and aftercare, and a plethora of services and treatment modalities. Before we get to that, however, let’s talk about some of their core services. They’re a dual diagnosis center and provide care not only to people who suffer from addiction, but co-occurring mental health conditions too. This can range as wide as you can think, from depression to bipolar disorder to schizophrenia.

Addiction can have a strong negative impact when you already struggle with mental health. This clinic seems up to the task of giving you the best and most intensive treatment possible.

They also offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for anyone concerned about withdrawal symptoms that may come with your detox process. Some medications such as Vivitrol and Suboxone have been shown to significantly reduce negative withdrawal symptoms and reduce the severity of your cravings when quitting.

This center also teaches the principles of the 12 Step program, but they go deeper into the steps than most clinics. They also have plenty of therapy options, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, existential therapy, gestalt therapy, neurofeedback therapy, equine therapy, cognitive (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT, and individual and group counseling. In summary, there are plenty of beneficial treatment options here that I would highly recommend to anyone with severe addiction.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Residents of a sober living home in Texas reside at the halfway house with others who have agreed to abstain from substances and practice sober-living skills. The relationships and accountability formed here can help individuals strengthen their mental health and achieve long-term recovery. Residents share common spaces such as kitchens and back yards, share meals together, and share household responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

24-hour clinical care in Texas provides a safe environment for medical detox. This setting is crucial to provide medical care during withdrawal. Certain withdrawal symptoms can cause life-threatening conditions, but patients in a supervised clinical setting have treatment readily available to address any symptoms before they become severe. Treatment can also be provided for co-occurring physical and mental health issues.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Fitness Therapy

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Please don’t waste your time or money on this place. As a parent who lost a child after they spent a year here please find an alternative rehab. This place uses community shaming which has been proven to be a failure.

I went to Burning Tree,Kaufman. I went in 2006/07 some time. My husband payed for 3 months up front. By the end of those 3 months I wanted my husband to make arrangements for me to be transferred directly to another facility. This place was a mess. Counselors lying to patients, no private calls( couldn't tell my husband what was really going on as we were always monitored on the phones). The owner at the time claimed many years of sobriety,but if sobriety looked like what he displayed, I didn't want that kind of sobriety. He was a big mouthed bully who enjoyed intimidating people in front of an entire group and throwing his weight around. He came every Friday and people were visibly tense when he was there. I finally had enough of the lies they were telling me and my husband and walked off property and found a phone and got to speak to my husband w/ out their prying ears. Once back I was called up for a staffing. I wrote a polite letter saying I would not attend the staffing w/ out speaking to my attorney and my probation officer. I refused 3 times. They brought me my 3 months worth of property, loaded me in a van and told me they were dropping me off in " Crack town." And so they did. When it came time to go to court, the young man whom was also in treatment, but who gave me my daily chores( whenever I finished my work, I would go to him and ask for more work to keep busy till classes started and he was always happy to give me more as I moved fast,did my work well and was always happy to help out. I don't know what Burning Tree promised him, but he got on the stand and lied through his teeth about me. Said I was lazy. Never did my chores. He had to stay after me all the time. Lie after lie after lie. I was in shock if your out there, you know who you are. What did they promise you? Less time in rehab instead of the one and a half years we were supposed to do? Less $$ for the time you would be there? I have forgiveness for you,but you did me really wrong. I finally found a really great rehab called Starlite up near Certer point Tx. What a relief to get away from that horrid Burning Tree and that Gestapo like owner and his abject cruelty to all. He pick on me once, but he was too late. My dad had been an alcoholic and I was already hardened to his crap so I just blew his attitude w me off. Stay away. There are oh so much better places to get sober and stay clean and sober. I am 17years clean and sober. Doubt I could say that if I had stayed at Burning Tree.

Brook McKenzie of Burning Tree helped us through a very difficult time, not only while our son was there, but exceptionally, after he left. We needed a referral, and Brooke dropped everything to get us information same day, within hours. He did not owe us that, but he did it, because I believe he truly cares.

In 2010 I was referred to Burning Tree by my Sister for my daughter who had been in eleven previous treatment programs. Her Aunt owns her own treatment center but we all felt long term care was our last chance and hers. We re talking years of addiction most people need to have more than 30 days and sometimes 365 isn t enough. They have everything they need to get sober and more I wasn t paying for a pool and equine therapy ocean view . My daughter had already been to those places and I don t even want to go on what happen there so I was relieved brick bldg ,bed ,shower and rules! As for phone calls that was fine most of the time she wanted to come home so when they were on phone restriction it was a relief and if they want to listen I couldn t care less. I hope all of the Fathers, Mothers, Husbands, Wife s and children go to Al anon or Al teen so you can get the help you need because if you don t change and the alcoholic or addict keeps coming home to the same place where he or she got sick or was sick it will go back to the same thing . I don t mean to sound arrogant or make light of what others have said but I am very grateful for Burning Tree for giving my daughter the tools to get sober and for god for giving her the power and strength to stay sober one day at a time. Prayers for your love ones

I arrived at Burning Tree programs in death stage. The team at Burning Tree Ranch brought me back to life - through a power greater. I'm humbled by their dedication and compassion. I'm currently on Phase III of the program, where I'm building a life around recovery, while building a future, and rebuilding my relationships with family and friends.

Looking back at my time at the Ranch it was at times the most fun I had had in years, I became more connected to people I knew there for months than friends I've known for years, it was also simultaneously the hardest thing I've done in my life but the best thing as well. Going into Burning Tree Ranch as an 18 year old I believe I have come out on the other side a mature young man & I owe a debt to BTRR for that & am incredibly grateful.

What an amazing and truly unique approach to treatment. Every aspect of this program felt like a no-brainer. All of the therapeutic methods used seem so obvious and necessary; it's truly as if they were divinely inspired. I completed 16 months of inpatient treatment, and I'm now 9 months into the aftercare program. Before Burning Tree, I genuinely believed it was all over for me. I had attempted suicide twice and overdosed four times in the months leading up to my arrival here. This program genuinely doesn't prioritize profit. I was fortunate to receive a partial scholarship, and during my stay, I witnessed the team offering to continue providing treatment for free to a client whose family was no longer willing to support him if he was willing to put in the effort.Jesse Earwood is the Cesar Millan of chronic relapsers. His memory, insight, and dedication are unparalleled. I'm convinced that with his intellect, he could have been an astrophysicist or the world's best lawyer if he had chosen a different path, but I'm grateful that he chose to work with addicts.Meghan Bohlman is equally talented. As an addict, I can honestly say she is probably the only non-addict clinician I fully trust and respect when it comes to Alcoholism, and I feel truly understood by her. Her feedback was always valid and easy to understand.David Elliot, what an incredible man. He has done more good for alcoholics and addicts than anyone else I know. Thank goodness he was willing to invest his own money to save lives. In a world where insurance-based rehab programs are required to offer treatments that are often ineffective, what David has done is nothing short of a miracle. I hope one day society gains a better understanding of how to help addicts. I had been to numerous treatment programs before this, offering things like "music therapy," yoga, and cognitive behavioral therapy, only to leave without a clear understanding of how to live and cope with life while sober. The process groups and healthy lifestyle seemed to stop at the door. Burning Tree taught me how to incorporate the 12 steps into my daily life and helped me work through my very real trauma in a safe environment.Dawn Wilson, the Aftercare Coordinator, has played perhaps the most influential role in my treatment. I have many issues outside of addiction, including spending problems, relationship difficulties, and entitlement struggles. She sees me when I can't see myself. I respect her for many reasons, but mainly for the way she lives her life. She follows a 12-step program and has a connection with a higher power that even the staunchest atheist would find compelling. Her feedback to me always comes from personal experience. This program has been the most challenging thing I've ever undertaken, and I'm currently grappling with the issues I just mentioned.I have absolute faith that Burning Tree has provided me with every opportunity to live a life of excellence. If I graduate from this program, it will be my greatest accomplishment. One thing I know for certain is that you can't complete this program without truly embracing a spiritual program of recovery. If you're considering sending your loved one here, understand this: no one can force you to change, not even Burning Tree. The solution must come from a power greater than yourself. What got me sober was the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Burning Tree provided a distraction-free, safe place for me to have that experience. No treatment center in the world can cure addiction. Your loved one has to be willing to put in the work. However, I believe this is the best treatment center in America for removing anything that might hinder that transformative experience.

I went to Burning Tree in 2011 at the age of 23. I had been to several treatment centers by then. Burning Tree was the only place that ever did what they said they would do. They are a tough program that focuses on how to stay sober forever. They are not a luxury program that entices clients and families with fancy photos and promises. They do one thing and one thing only, they get people sober for the rest of their lives. If your loved one has failed at other programs and cannot stay sober, and you are ready to do something completely different, this will be the place for you. And no, it will not be easy.

My son went to a Burning Tree facility in Arizona. It was very expensive and the reason they can keep people sober for a few months is because they treat them like prisoners. Then when people aren t making progress the staff blames the clients. The first red flag should have been the monitored phone calls. Not just for a week or two, but the entire time my son was there (3 months) we were never allowed to have a private conversation. Someone was always in the room listening to everything. I spent $15,000 + for three months and my son spiraled backwards. Definitely would not recommend.

Burning Tree was the place I avoided. Hid from. I didn t want to go to Texas for any reason, especially treatment. For a year nonetheless. However, I will say that Burning Tree is what I needed. No other place I have ever been affiliated with has ever put the time, effort and care into each and every client. They gave me the space to find God and the tools to build a connection with Him and others which I didn t want. They taught me what real friendship and love looks like. If you re a chronic relapser like me that thinks you know best but can t stay sober there is no other place I would recommend! And the time I was scared of turned out to be one of the best assets of this place. It s hard and not for anyone that doesn t want sobriety. However, if you do want sobriety and haven t been able to get it, this is your place!
