Whole-system healing for teens and parents
If you’re searching for a group home for girls in Dallas, it’s likely because home no longer feels safe or stable. You may be worried about anxiety, depression, substance use, or risky behavior. You may also feel stuck between “not enough support” and “too much.”
Roots Renewal Ranch offers a nurturing alternative to traditional group homes. Our live-in program supports girls 13–17 in Texas with structure, therapy, school support, and family involvement.
Why Dallas families look for group homes for teens
Many parents search for group homes in Dallas when the situation at home gets overwhelming. Often, outpatient therapy is not enough. Parents may be getting calls from school, seeing unsafe choices, or feeling like nothing works.
Families often reach out when they see
- Anxiety, panic, or deep sadness
- Self-harm or unsafe decisions
- Substance use or vaping
- School refusal, failing grades, or frequent discipline issues
- Explosive arguments or a teen who shuts down completely
What makes Roots different from other group homes?
Some group homes provide only housing and basic supervision. Many families want more. They want a place that helps their daughter truly change.
Roots Renewal Ranch is a structured, live-in setting for girls 13–17 that focuses on healing, skill-building, and family involvement:
- A steady daily schedule with clear expectations
- Therapy and skill-building built into each week
- Mental health and substance use support
- School support so she can keep moving forward
- Transition planning and aftercare support
Compared to other options, our group home for girls in Dallas offers high levels of support.
For girls who need more than outpatient care
Our program supports girls 13–17 who may be dealing with
- Anxiety, depression, trauma, or intense stress
- Big emotions, impulsive choices, or shutdown
- Ongoing conflict at home that feels constant
- Substance use (often tied to emotional pain)
- School struggles, isolation, or risky peer influence
Many families searching for group homes for girls in Dallas are dealing with more than one issue. We build a plan that matches what your daughter is actually facing.
What support looks like at our live-in group home ranch
In our program, girls live onsite and follow a steady schedule. The goal is not supervision but growth.
Support focuses on
- Coping skills and emotional regulation
- Healthy routines for sleep, movement, and meals
- Better decision-making and boundaries
- Communication skills with family and peers
- A clear plan for returning home and staying stable
This approach is designed for families who want real progress, not short-term compliance.
Therapy and real-life skill-building
Teen girls do not change by talking alone. They change by learning skills and practicing them daily, with support and coaching.
Your daughter’s plan may include individual therapy, group work, and skill-building activities. We offer many ways for teens to express themselves and build confidence. These include creative groups, such as art and music, and connecting with our animals, like Alfredo the donkey.
Medical and psychiatric support when it is needed
Some girls need extra support for sleep, mood, anxiety, or focus. Parents often feel relief knowing help is available.
- Nurses onsite daily
- Early psychiatric assessment
- Ongoing medical oversight as needed
- Medication support for safety and stability
- Testing when clinically indicated (labs or other evaluations)
- Balanced, dietician-approved meals
If you are comparing group homes in Dallas for your daughter, this layer of support makes a difference.
A typical day at the ranch

Most days include a healthy mix of
- Therapy and skill-building
- Movement and outdoor time
- Group activities and healthy peer connection
- Quiet time to reset and reflect
- A consistent sleep routine
Over time, this structure helps your daughter
- Respond instead of react
- Build confidence through small daily wins
- Practice coping skills until they feel natural
- Handle stress without shutting down

Support may include
- Help using her home school’s online platform
- Options like credit recovery or virtual schooling when needed

Outdoor activities and hands-on growth
Confidence often comes back when a teen succeeds at hard things . Along with therapy and school, girls at the ranch may participate in
- Ropes courses and team-building
- Gardening and animal care
- Archery, hiking, and recreation

These experiences help girls feel capable again. They build confidence, connection, and healthier coping.
Life skills that help her return home stronger
We focus on real-life skills that support a smoother return home:
