Burning Tree Ranch

Burning Tree Ranch is a long-term residential addiction and dual-diagnosis treatment center in Kaufman, Texas, southeast of Dallas. The program is built specifically for adults who have struggled with chronic relapse, meaning people who have completed treatment before and returned to substance use. Because of that focus, admission generally requires at least one prior treatment attempt, and the typical length of stay is considerably longer than a standard 30-day program, often running 8 to 14 months across a multi-phase continuum.

The clinical model is progress-based and structured around distinct phases that emphasize behavioral and attitudinal change, personal accountability, and the rebuilding of practical life skills. Care is delivered in a residential setting with 24/7 monitoring and includes a transitional sober-living component as residents advance. Burning Tree Ranch treats alcohol use disorder and drug use disorders involving benzodiazepines, cocaine, opioids, and synthetic drugs, alongside co-occurring mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma, and complex behavioral or personality disorders. The program does not provide standalone medical detox or outpatient-only tracks; it is designed as an immersive, extended residential experience.

The facility holds accreditation from The Joint Commission, is licensed by Texas Health and Human Services, and is a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP). Prospective residents and families should understand the payment model up front: Burning Tree Ranch is a private-pay, out-of-network program. It does not accept insurance as direct payment, and it does not participate with Medicare or Medicaid. Anyone considering the Ranch should confirm current pricing, program length, admission criteria, and any possible out-of-network reimbursement options directly with the admissions team before enrolling.
