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.
Dear Families, I often meet you after the whirlwind that ends with your loved one arriving at Burning Tree Ranch. I meet you in the space between relief that your loved one made it into long term treatment and fear that they won’t stay long enough to accept the help being offered. It is in this space that our treatment team will begin construction of something new with you.
Recovery from addiction is a highly personal journey that varies in length for each individual. Long-term treatment offers comprehensive support for lasting sobriety.
Dear Families, When I started this letter for Burning Tree families I thought about what I would have wanted to hear when I was at the point you are at now. What words of wisdom could someone give me? It wasn’t more addiction horror stories; you’ve experienced that firsthand.
Dual diagnosis is a term that many families may have heard but don’t fully understand. Put simply, dual diagnosis refers to the co-occurrence of a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder in the same individual. As a LCDC, I can assure you that dual diagnoses are fairly common and understanding the nature of the diagnosis is the first step for families seeking help for their loved ones.
Dear Families, My name is Caroline, and I am a recovering alcoholic. My sobriety date is May 21, 2015. Here is my story.

Dear Families, I once heard a speaker talk about sitting in front of the ocean and trying to stop the waves from crashing on the shore – that this is what powerlessness felt like. While the speaker was talking about their drinking and powerlessness over alcohol, I could relate to what he was saying.
Our program is committed to addressing the complex needs of individuals who find themselves caught in the cycle of relapse. Through this work, we’ve identified a critical factor that often influences the success or setback of a patient’s recovery journey: the role of family dynamics, specifically enabling and codependency.
