Get Started

Who We Are

The vision for a place of healing and transformation was forged by founder David Elliott when Burning Tree Ranch opened in 1999. The Ranch was designed specifically for the chronic relapser and is a true long-term recovery program. After 20 years of successfully helping scores of individuals find freedom from addiction, David saw a considerable need emerge for a short-term program that was as effective. This realization gave birth to Renewal Lodge.

Renewal Lodge by Burning Tree is a 30 to 60-day residential program treating substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Renewal Lodge utilizes an integrated treatment approach combining evidenced-based mindfulness skills and 12 step modalities. Our staff are trained professionals passionate about treating individuals and families suffering from the consequences of addiction.

Impact of Addiction and the Healing
Process

Addiction is a pervasive medical condition which affects the lives of everyone who encounters it. No segment of life’s fabric is left untouched, bringing with it confusion, hopelessness, and a deep yearning for a better life. People afflicted with a substance use disorder, including their family, suffer in all areas of the human experience: body, mind, and spirit. Renewal Lodge is a refuge for these individuals and serves to help a person get sober and, even more importantly, experience a life fully transformed by awareness, joy, and fulfillment.

Mission Statement Philosophy of “Love, Service, Excellence”

Love

In recovery, love is the foundation of personal growth and caring relationships while addiction deprives individuals of the ability to care for themselves in a loving and compassionate way. Through non-judgment and loving action, individuals at Renewal Lodge will discard behaviors that keep them from permanent recovery and trapped in patterns that lead to relapse.

Service

We understand that a purposeful life that serves our families, fellowship, and community is fundamental to long-term sobriety. Helping clients to discover their gifts, abilities, and capacity to be useful to others fosters self-esteem, integrity, and connection. The power of service not only promotes connection, but also helps individuals forge a sustainable and supported path to recovery.

Excellence

We believe in delivering our services with excellence. Following through on commitments, paying attention to detail, and being intentional in all aspects of our work are principles that guide us. We view the responsibility of caring for our clients as sacred. As a team demonstrating these values through action, we help clients understand the importance of being authentic. Information is helpful, but in order for treatment to be effective, the behaviors and patterns that lead to chronic relapse need to be addressed.

What makes us different

No segment of life’s fabric is left untouched, bringing with it confusion, hopelessness, and a deep yearning for a better life. People afflicted with a substance use disorder, including their family, suffer in all areas of the human experience: body, mind, and spirit.

The Renewal Lodge Experience

Daily life at the Renewal Lodge is structured and purposeful with each client expected to attend and participate in all aspects of programming. A typical day is filled with therapeutic groups including small process, wellness, mindfulness-informed 12 steps, and psychoeducational lecture based groups. Individual counseling sessions are provided weekly to implement highly individualized treatment plans and observe client progress throughout their treatment stay. Outside of individual and group programming clients will participate in a community that is centered around peers being of support and service to one another. The power of the group in recovery is tangible, and the Renewal Lodges daily schedule was established to support this dynamic.

Alumni Support Services

Alumni support is offered and available to all clients who complete residential programming at the Renewal Lodge. An alumni coordinator will connect with clients prior to discharge and follow up with them within weekly following treatment. There is a weekly alumni meeting on Wednesday nights and all alumni are welcome. We strongly encourage alumni to join our Facebook page and to stay in touch for ongoing fellowship. We continually update our alumni on the Renewal Lodge events and potential service opportunities available. Once a year, an alumni reunion is held at the Renewal Lodge and all past clients and alumni are invited to join us in celebration! The reunion is an opportunity to return to the Renewal Lodge and participate in programming specific to the alumni celebration, including fellowship, meetings, speakers, and great food.
