Understanding the Disease of Addiction
Addiction is a complex disease that doesn’t discriminate – it affects people from all walks of life in El Paso, from military service members to educators, healthcare professionals to retail workers.
Families should understand the following about addiction:
- Addiction is a chronic disease, not a moral failing or lack of willpower
- It often co-occurs with mental health issues
- Genetic, environmental, and personal factors all play a role
- Recovery is possible with the right support and treatment
Substance Use Trends in El Paso, TX
El Paso, known for its rich cultural heritage and strategic location on the U.S.-Mexico border, faces unique challenges when it comes to substance abuse. The city’s position as an international crossroads creates a complex landscape for drug trafficking and substance use issues.
In El Paso, we’ve observed concerning trends in substance abuse, specifically increased rates of opioid abuse, particularly linked to fentanyl.
Additionally, rising concerns about methamphetamine use and distribution. The effects ripple through our communities, workplaces, and homes, underscoring the critical need for effective substance abuse treatment options.
“Our priority is to get people well by developing ethical treatments rooted in science.”

Executive Director
Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health Support
Treating More than Substance Use
In El Paso, we often see substance abuse co-occurring with other mental health disorders. Our clinical team understands the complexity of dual diagnosis conditions and the importance of addressing both issues simultaneously.
Some of the most common questions we encounter are: Which came first, the mental health condition or the addiction? Which should be treated foremost?
In our experience, persons with a dual diagnosis respond better to treatment methods that address mental health in conjunction with substance use disorders. This integrated approach not only improves recovery outcomes but also enhances overall quality of life.

Family Involvement in Addiction Recovery
Often, our families in El Paso are so focused on getting help for their loved one struggling with substance abuse that they begin to neglect their own needs. In most cases, families unknowingly begin to contribute to the problem through codependency and enabling, even though their intentions are born out of love and concern.
Addiction doesn’t just affect the individual; it impacts the entire family system. Our family program is designed to educate and support El Paso families throughout the treatment process. We’ve found that recovery improves when all those affected by addiction accept help and take action to heal.
“Our goal at Burning Tree Lodge is to embrace the family system as quickly as possible, because we believe that early intervention for the family is critical to the recovery process.”

Family Program Director
