As someone who's been there, it all depends how hard it was. You can recover from light burnouts quickly (by traveling, taking sports), however, hard burnouts change you for life - you'll be lucky to not end up as alcoholic or drug addict.
For me, it took couple of years and few failed jobs until I got on track. Today, I'm more than happy to be my own boss as freelancer.
