106. How Long Should Rehab Last? (What Long-Term Addiction Treatment Actually Looks Like)

How long should rehab last? It’s one of the most common questions families ask when they are trying to help a loved one with addiction.

In this episode, Sam sits down with Eric Button, Executive Director of Burning Tree Lodge in Austin, Texas. Eric is also a graduate of the Burning Tree program himself — and his story is one of the most powerful examples of long-term recovery you’ll hear.

Eric shares the journey from:

• Meth addiction• Eight pages of arrests• Two felony probations• A life completely out of control

…to long-term recovery and now helping others rebuild their lives.

Eric and Sam also discuss:

• What long-term treatment actually looks like

• Why many people relapse after short stays in rehab

• The role of family in recovery

• The power of surrender in addiction recovery

• What makes the Burning Tree model different

• Post-admission interventions and family boundaries

Eric’s story is proof that recovery is possible — even for the person who has tried everything.

If your family is struggling with addiction, this conversation may give you hope and direction.
