Founded in 1952, Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch (Minot), is one of three campuses operated by Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch, It provides residential treatment facilities to girls and boys ages 10 to 17 that have psychiatric issues, substance abuse issues, sexual issues, autism spectrum disorders, and academic difficulties. Youth who pose an extreme safety issue to themselves or others are not admitted.
The Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
Youth in the program receive counseling and therapy on an individual and group level. Family therapy is also used to include the family in the process. Equine therapy is also utilized by the program. The campus includes an on-site school for grades 1 through 12 and approximately two thirds of the residents attend this school. The sexual responsibility program is male specific and treats males determined to be in need of 24 hour intensive care for recovery purposes.
The program includes extensive recreational activities including biking, sledding, aerobics, hiking, swimming, and more. An independent living program is available for older youth making the transition into adult living.
