What We Treat

Substance Abuse

Renewal Lodge by Burning Tree is more than an addiction treatment center. We believe that effective substance abuse treatment requires an individualized approach, effective mental health counseling, and access to the skills and tools necessary to lead healthy, happy, well-adjusted lives.

What We Emphasize

We emphasize treating the whole person: mind, body, spirit.

We also emphasize family.

Our approach to treating substance abuse recognizes that those affected by addiction are not limited to the person seeking treatment. We provide a host of services directed towards increased family engagement including weekly updates, collaborative discharge planning, and an intensive 2-day family program led by our CEO, Peter Piraino, LMSW, and Family Program Director, Doug Wade, LMFT.

"One of the things we do best is offer hope to families who believe their loved one cannot be helped."

~ Peter Piraino, LMSW, LCDC, Executive Clinical Director

Offering hope, skillful direction, and an individualized plan that supports long-term recovery are primary objectives of the Renewal Lodge Family Program.

~ Doug Wade, LMFT, Family Program Director

Since opening, Renewal Lodge has helped thousands of families engage in an effective recovery plan that supports deeper healing and a more full knowledge of the disease of addiction.

Substance Abuse Treatment Philosophy

The Renewal Lodge program was founded on Burning Tree’s philosophy of “creating a life of excellence beyond sobriety.” We incorporate addiction medicine, evidence-based therapy, mindfulness and the 12 Steps to bring about whole-person healing. With nearly 25 years of experience in the substance abuse healthcare space, Renewal Lodge by Burning Tree is the Nation’s Only Mindfulness In Recovery (MIR)® Program, and the first of its kind to offer both Substance Abuse and Mental Health treatment under one roof.

We Make Addiction Treatment Accessible and Affordable

Starting with Burning Tree’s founder, David Elliott, Renewal Lodge was envisioned as the nation’s leader in affordable, high-quality substance abuse treatment. Today, our Executive Clinical Director and CEO, Peter Piraino, LMSW extends that promise by ensuring that Renewal Lodge remains covered by as many insurance carriers as possible. Our pledge to offer affordable treatment is more than just a promise, it is a way of life.

"This is not just about quitting drugs or alcohol. This is about establishing a life worth living."

~ David Elliott, Founder & President

Effective Short-term Treatment for Substance Abuse

As the nation’s most affordable, high-quality treatment provider, Renewal Lodge by Burning Tree provides effective short-term treatment for addiction and mental health. Utilizing the time-tested framework of the 12 Steps and combining them with Mindfulness In Recovery (MIR)®, our staff maintain a personalized, one-on-one approach suited to each individual’s emotional, mental, and spiritual needs.

Employing modernized holistic practices such as yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises, we help create an entirely new experience with the 12 Steps. To enhance that experience, we offer Mindfulness training to promote deeper personal meaning, greater healing, and more inclusive engagement with the world’s most popular recovery model.

1. 12-Step Immersion

1. We emphasize the adoption of a 12-step lifestyle, one that includes the empathy, community and accountability so distinctly lacking in a life of addiction. Here, the 12 steps serve to enact a spiritual awakening, instill a sense of higher purpose and rebuild connections with others. Combined with Mindfulness In Recovery (MIR)®, our 12-Step Immersion offers something truly unique.

2. Mindfulness In Recovery (MIR)®

2. Practicing mindfulness encourages purposeful thoughts and actions — an essential component of substance abuse recovery. Coordinated with evidence-based clinical care, addiction medicine, and dual diagnosis substance abuse treatment, Mindfulness in Recovery® is a powerful tool that helps our clients achieve significant emotional, mental, and spiritual breakthroughs.

3. Individualized Treatment

3. Treatment is most effective when adapted to the individual’s unique needs. At Renewal Lodge, we evaluate each client’s emotional, physical, social and psychological needs to develop more customized treatment plans. By personalizing the care we offer, our clients achieve greater outcomes and more full recoveries. We do this because it works!
