Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch (DBGR), Minot was the first and is the largest of the Ranch’s three campuses. It is a 60-bed facility that provides treatment programs for boys and girls ages 10 to 17. DBGR, Minot, offers psychiatric residential treatment for emotional and behavioral issues; substance abuse issues; issues related to physical; sexual, and emotional abuse; attention difficulties; autistic spectrum disorders; sexual responsibility issues; and academic difficulties. Youth receive in-depth individual and group therapy and their families are integrated into treatment through family therapy. DBGR Minot also offers emergency shelter care and independent living programming. DBGR, Minot, seeks to provide a spiritual foundation for each resident on an individual basis in a Christian atmosphere.
The alcohol and drug program provides education, prevention, diagnostic assessment, intervention, and support services to residents and their families who are experiencing concerns associated with alcohol and/or drug abuse.
The sexual responsibility program is a treatment program for adolescent males who have behaved in sexually offensive ways and who have been determined to be in need of residential care. These adolescents are best served by intensive, long-term, 24-hour supervised residential care with specific treatment for their sexual and related misbehavior.
Independent living services are available for those youth who are transitioning to independence. These residents are encouraged to learn time- and money-management, be responsible for school, seek part-time employment, become health conscious and medication responsible, keep up their living space, assist with meal preparations, keep up with their laundry and assist with the general upkeep of the facility. They also are encouraged to be involved in the community to practice skills they have learned.
