Sundown Ranch

Set on 450 peaceful acres, Sundown Ranch offers residential treatment for adolescents ages 13 to 17 facing substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. With a calming environment and a 2-to-1 staff ratio, each client receives consistent, compassionate care. Every treatment plan is personalized, ensuring the right level of clinical, emotional, and medical support from admission to discharge.
Treatment at the facility weaves together the structure of 12-step recovery with the depth of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Through a mix of individual, group, and family sessions, clients explore core issues, rebuild trust, and develop healthier coping skills. Medical needs are closely monitored through 24/7 nursing services, with on-call physician and psychiatric coverage ensuring comprehensive care throughout each client’s stay.
Healing extends beyond therapy—clients take part in fully accredited academics, enjoy home-cooked meals according to their needs, and join daily recreational activities like ropes courses, lakeside reflection, and team sports. Discharge planning is built into the process from the start, helping families and clients establish strong aftercare strategies that support a smooth transition and sustained recovery beyond their stay.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Sundown Ranch provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Sundown Ranch offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Sundown Ranch works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
