Though research shows children, youth, and families are best served in their homes and communities, there are cases in which a child may require treatment outside of the home. The Buckeye Ranch has the facilities and the treatment capacity to support children and youths with these serious mental health needs and behavioral challenges.
For youth inpatient mental health treatment in a secure residential setting, our secure campus provides the care and structure they need with locked units, cameras, and low staff-to-youth ratios. In this environment, youth of all genders and backgrounds, ages 9-17, are provided the treatment and skills they need to prepare for a successful transition back into the community.
The Buckeye Ranch provides a trauma-informed therapeutic environment for youth with mental health diagnoses. We specialize in providing treatment for youth with histories of trauma resulting from abuse and neglect. The Buckeye Ranch addresses a variety of issues, including:
The Buckeye Ranch admits youth into appropriate housing units based on chronological age, developmental age, gender identity, and presenting behaviors. Given these factors, housing units are comprised of youth with similar abilities, interests, and needs. Youth with specific individual challenges, such as substance use disorders, are linked with appropriate services. When it is determined that a youth has been placed within a housing unit that is not an appropriate fit for that youth, every effort is made to make accommodations and/or to move that youth to a different, more appropriate unit.
The Buckeye Ranch has been able to create a unique approach to education by partnering with the South-Western City School District to provide instruction on campus for our youth. The Buckeye Ranch provides the physical space that houses the classrooms, and South-Western City School District provides certified teachers.
Our campus is equipped with numerous facilities and unique therapies and resources to promote wellness, recovery, and healing during the youth’s stay:
