The Ranch of Opportunity

Located in Fayette County on a tranquil 22-acre ranch setting, The Ranch of Opportunity offers a peaceful, spacious, and healthy environment for children to live, learn, and grow during a 6-8 month residential treatment program. The Mission is to create new chances, new choices, and new hope for traumatized children and their families by breaking the vicious cycle of child abuse and by addressing the self-destructive behaviors brought on by experiencing severe trauma in childhood.

The Ranch of Opportunity serves up to 30 girls from 13 until 18 years of age. A 6-bed secure Evaluation and Stabilization Unit (ESU) will provide a safe transition for girls who initially may have the need for more intense supervision. The open unit has the capacity to serve 24 girls who are able to benefit from a more open environment.

Many children present with co-occurring mental health, behavioral, and substance abuse disorders that cannot be isolated and treated separately. For this reason, the program takes a holistic approach to treatment and wraps a continuum of specialized services around each girl.
