They’re known for high quality, individualized and ‘whole person’ substance abuse treatment. This is made possible by their innovative recovery approach that incorporates evidence based therapy and mindfulness in recovery. This is in addition to addiction medicine and 12 Step immersion.
Mindfulness is by far the most outstanding feature of their recovery approach. Mindfulness makes you more aware of your behavioral patterns, cravings and disruptive thoughts. This increased awareness facilitates better decision making and emotional regulation. These are essential in maintaining lasting sobriety.
Combining mindfulness and the traditional 12 Step program enhances the efficiency of both recovery methods. This ensures a dynamic breakthrough in your recovery journey and successful rehabilitation.
The facility boasts a multidisciplinary team of licensed and highly skilled care professionals. These range from psychiatrists to counselors and clinicians. These experts are compassionate, supportive and committed to your recovery journey.
During the program you’ll participate in various individual and group therapy sessions. This helps you build solid coping skills and relapse prevention strategies. You’ll also benefit from psychoeducational lectures and gym and recreational activities. The program also involves medication management, biopsychosocial assessment/evaluation and lifetime alumni events to support ongoing recovery. Significant emphasis is placed on the family as part of the treatment process.
The facility also provides tailored aftercare plans to equip you with the tools to prevent relapse and maintain lasting recovery. This may include outpatient programming, medication management and structured transitional living.
Our Methodology
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
After completing some form of inpatient care, many clients transition or step down to an outpatient rehab, while some choose to transition from detox directly into outpatient care. High-intensity outpatient programming, including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) is widely available for clients in early recovery, those leaving detox, and those at an elevated relapse risk. Clients in outpatient care generally engage in robust addiction counseling and recovery education, and some also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Inpatient, or residential, drug treatment requires that the person receiving treatment for addictions or substance abuse, residing in a facility for a designated length of time. Inpatient treatment may be either short or long term depending on the needs and situation of the individual. Both frameworks involve similar therapies. Inpatient treatment does not include detoxification, as that usually occurs in a hospital environment, but follows it.
Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.
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).
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.
A drug intervention in Texas may be necessary if your loved one is in denial about a substance use disorder. You can partner with intervention services to plan and execute an effective intervention that educates your loved one about addiction and encourages them to get the treatment they need. Many rehab centers offer intervention specialists who can facilitate the intervention and help with a seamless transition to inpatient rehab for treatment.
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive addiction treatment while allowing you to return home each day. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment typically averages 90 days with a weekly requirement of 6-8 hours a day. PHP treatment offers a variety of therapeutic interventions such as individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Oftentimes PHP treatment can be fully covered by insurance.
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.
Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Substance abuse treatment is available in Texas for anyone who's struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. These programs usually provide a comprehensive assessment and individualized treatment plan, and include evidence-based treatments, like therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to reframe unhelpful coping strategies, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help with emotional regulation and stress.
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
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.
Treatment that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach focuses on four strategies. Distress tolerance will help you accept and tolerate intense emotions. Emotional regulation will teach you to manage those emotions. Mindfulness will keep you in the present moment instead of regret or worry. Interpersonal effectiveness will teach you to manage your relationships.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Couples therapy helps couples learn to control emotions, trust each other, and communicate more effectively. It can be useful for short term intervention for a specific issue or for working on the relationship long term.
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.
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.
What you eat has a significant effect on your mental and physical health. That's why many addiction recovery programs in Texas incorporate nutrition therapy in their treatment. This therapy teaches you how addiction affects nutrition, what foods are best to eat during recovery, and how to shop for and prepare healthy meals.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
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.
When used as recommended, nicotine replacement therapy in Texas provides enough nicotine to help you avoid severe cravings and withdrawal symptoms after quitting smoking. This increases comfort so you're less likely to relapse into your smoking habit.

Very toxic culture. This is not the place to send your loved ones. I dropped off my wife entrusting staff to take care of her. From the moment she arrived she was belittled, called a puppet for following directions. Even her Burning Tree counselor said Burning tree was v ...
I would avoid this place. I left early after a final straw where they called my father without permission. They blew it off and said it happens regularly. The manual makes it sound like if you wait a day, they will give you a ride, presumably back to where they picked you up. I asked the driver if he needed my address, he condescendingly said he knew where to go. They drop you off with a dead phone and all your belongings at a bus station in north Austin. It is appalling that they don't tell you in advance or even let you charge your phone. Imagine walking around with a suitcase and trash bag full of clothes and thousands of dollars in medicine, having to buy overpriced chargers and begging store clerks to let you charge your phone while worrying your thousands of dollars in belongings will be stolen. Next, they swore to me over and over again that everything would be covered by insurance, and they would allow me to refuse any service not covered. They don't give two hoots about this or anything else not in writing once you are safely locked in their facility with no access to your loved ones (for at least the first two weeks). The nurse practitioner wasn't covered by my insurance, but worse yet, they let them pull $400 at a time from your credit card. None of the excess was refunded and I still don't have it because Karma Health is another nightmare. They don't give you any free time. They basically keep you doing crap from about 7:30am to 9pm. That doesn't sound that bad, but a lot of it is wasted busy work and then they will give you crap for not working the steps quickly enough. Most people in there have been in rehab or the program a lot so they fly through that stuff. They were chronically short on counselors. When I went, you only had about half the scheduled sessions. When they called my dad, I was particularly galled because they had only even seen my twice after over two weeks. Their flippant attitude about this violation was the worst. Expect to gain weight. They have you step on a scale but you aren't allowed to see the weight. The over prescribe, which was a chronic complaint of people there and the food, while not bad, is frequently made with lower grade ingredients than you would buy at home (think 73/27 hamburger meat). A lot of the meds combined with the food lead to a lot of weight gain. When I was there, they took us on an outing to help clear ranch land. While it was a nice change of pace, about five people were bitten by fire ants. I am extremely allergic to fire ants. When I asked the nurse about a prescription for an epi pen, he blew it off and said they had Benadryl. BTW, they only get prescriptions from a no name pharmacy in Elgin. They also don't let you use nicotine gum or any gum. They make you buy these specific lozenges. It's particularly annoying because they let people dip. The only explanation is that you could get the gum on something. That's kind of the ethos of this place and a lot of poorly managed smaller places, one person messes something up and they make a rule. We would also get yelled at in some of the classes for crap other people did. Going back to the restricted access to your loved ones, they also restrict access more as a form of punishment after the two weeks when you are allowed a short, monitored call. If you read the patient bill of rights, this looks like a violation. Anyway, I would avoid this place. Find some place that either lets you have your devices or unrestricted access to loved ones. The problem is they have little incentive once you are in the door, while they will say almost anything before you go. One of the guys I was with said they worked on his wife to write a 20k check for another month that he didn't approve of and knew should have been covered by insurance. It is highly unethical to work family members for such lavish payments without having all parties involved in all communication.
Amazing staff that truly cares what happens to you in the long run
I’ve been to handful of treatment centers across the world and nothing compares to Burning Tree. The amount of care, knowledge and recovery that was poured into me here has forever changed my life. I’m so grateful for the experience I had here and now successfully clean.
Burning Tree Lodge changed the trajectory of our son's life. Our family's as well. The program and community at Burning Tree have had a incredible impact on our son’s journey to achieving sobriety and maintaining sobriety. The staff provided tools and support to our son and helped him build a foundation for his life. This has been transformational. They are very passionate about their work and created accountability with our son. Their communication was consistent and transparent. The Burning Tree staff was committed to both their clients and their families, and they partner together to make a lasting change. We are beyond grateful for our son’s experience and for the assistance and encouragement our family received through the staff and the family program.
