The Youth Ranch Review

Based in Frederick, Maryland, The Youth Ranch offers a gender-specific residential program treating adult male clients for substance abuse. The story behind The Youth Ranch’s name begins in 1974 when the Maryland Sheriffs’ Association created the facility to provide a home for at risk, troubled and homeless boys in Maryland. In 2015, the Ranch changed their focus to provide residential treatment for men with substance abuse issues. Today, the organization also offers a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for men and women and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that is open to men, women and adolescents.

Accommodations and Food 

The residential facility is situated on 204 acres of rural woodlands. It has a total of 44 beds. Residents share dorm-style rooms with up to four men to a room. All units are furnished with dressers, night tables and shared closet space. The Ranch has a computer lab, fitness center, basketball court and a game room. Clients are served healthy snacks and three meals a day in the facility’s dining hall. Food is typical American-fare.

Treatment and Staff

Treatment consists of a process that incorporates individual and group therapy that uses evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing (MI) as well as the 12 steps. Life skills classes and work therapy are also required. The men are provided with assistance in creating resumes and developing interview skills, with the goal of obtaining employment in the area.
