  • School refusal, falling grades, or constant missing work

Sometimes healing starts with getting out of the same cycle

For many Dallas families, progress is hard when the same stress, conflict, and triggers are still there every day. A residential program gives your daughter space to step out of that cycle and into a safe, structured setting built for healing.

At Roots Renewal Ranch, we help teen girls:

  • Regulate emotions and feel safer in their body
  • Rebuild trust through supportive relationships
  • Practice new habits through structure, routine, and experiential care
  • Work on trauma, mental health, and substance use together when needed
  • Reconnect with family through guided repair and communication

Dallas families choose Roots when they need more than short-term relief. They need real change.

Who we help

Roots Renewal Ranch serves birth-assigned females ages 13–17 who need a higher level of support than outpatient therapy, school-based counseling, or short-term stabilization can provide.

We help teen girls struggling with challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, emotional dysregulation, family conflict, substance use, school refusal, and disordered eating concerns. Many girls come to Roots with more than one issue happening at the same time.

Our program offers a safe, structured, trauma-informed residential environment where girls can step out of destructive cycles, build healthier coping skills, and begin healing at a deeper level. At Roots, we treat the whole child and the whole family system so progress can last beyond treatment.

What residential treatment looks like

In residential treatment, your daughter lives onsite. She has a daily schedule, clear expectations, and steady support. This helps her feel grounded.

Our goal is to help her build skills she can use in real life. We focus on:

  • Emotional regulation and coping skills
  • Healthier habits and routines
  • Better decision-making
  • Stronger relationships
  • A plan for returning home

Therapy and support that fits your daughter

Your daughter’s plan is built around her needs. Treatment may include individual therapy, group therapy, and other supports that help teens open up and grow.

We also offer extra ways for teens to express themselves. This may include creative groups through contracted providers, like art or music-based experiences.

Medical and psychiatric support

Some teens also need medical care or medication support during treatment. Parents often feel relief knowing this support is available.

Residential care can include:

  • Nurses onsite daily
  • Early psychiatric assessment
  • Ongoing medical oversight as needed
  • Medication support with a focus on safety and stability
  • Testing when needed (labs or other evaluations)
  • Nutrition support with balanced, dietician-approved meals

A typical day in residential treatment at the ranch

A steady routine helps teens calm down and think more clearly. Your daughter’s day includes a healthy balance of:

  • Therapy and skill-building
  • Movement and outdoor time
  • Peer connection and group activities
  • Quiet time to reflect and reset
  • A consistent sleep routine

Over time, this structure helps her:

  • Practice new skills until they feel natural.
  • Handle stress without blowing up or shutting down
  • Build confidence through small daily wins

Whole-family support for Dallas families

When a teen is struggling, the entire family feels it.

At Roots, family support is part of treatment from the start. We help parents and caregivers understand what is happening underneath the conflict, build healthier patterns, and move toward lasting change together.

  • Parent sessions early on, followed by weekly family therapy
  • Weekly guidance from your case manager
  • A Parent Workshop with practical tools and psychoeducation
  • A Family Trail Guide and Family Intensive to support deeper healing

Our goal is not just for your daughter to come home doing better. It is for your family to come home with more understanding, better tools, and a clearer way forward.

School support during treatment

Many parents worry about school. We do too.

At Roots, academics are built into the weekly schedule, and therapy is scheduled around school hours whenever possible. Our clinical and academic teams work closely together so your daughter can keep making progress while getting the support she needs.

Support may include:

  • Dedicated school time built into the schedule
  • Coordination between clinical and academic support
  • Help balancing emotional needs with academic progress
  • Flexibility when a student needs extra support during treatment

Outdoor activities and hands-on growth

Teens build confidence by doing hard things and seeing success. Along with therapy and school, residential programming may include:

  • Ropes course and team-building
  • Gardening and animal care
  • Archery, hiking, and recreation
  • Service projects and supervise outings
  • Practical skills through structured activities

These experiences help teens feel capable again.

Life skills that help her succeed back home

We also focus on skills that matter after treatment, like:

  • Healthy routines and hygiene
  • Cooking basics and responsibility
  • Better communication
  • Boundaries and decision-making
  • Practical problem-solving

This helps your daughter come home with a plan—not just hope.

FAQs: Residential treatment for teen girls in Dallas

Discharge planning begins from day one. Roots supports transition planning, family reintegration, communication with outpatient providers, and aftercare coordination. Families may also leave with a discharge plan, reintegration plan, alumni support, access to the Roots app, and ongoing alumni community resources.

Yes. Roots works with teen girls facing trauma, mental health concerns, substance use, self-harming behaviors, and related challenges. Many girls come in with co-occurring needs, and Roots treats the whole picture rather than addressing each issue in isolation. Cases involving disordered eating, self-harm history, or post-hospital stabilization are reviewed individually to make sure the program is an appropriate fit.

Residential treatment may be the right next step when outpatient therapy, school support, or short-term crisis care is no longer enough. Many girls come to Roots when more than one issue is happening at the same time, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, school refusal, substance use, emotional dysregulation, or ongoing conflict at home.

No. Roots is a trauma-informed residential program, not a hospital setting. Your daughter lives in a structured environment with 24/7 support, therapy, family involvement, and real-life skill building. Roots is also intentionally non-punitive and focuses on connection, regulation, and natural consequences rather than harsh punishment.

Yes. Academics are built into the weekly schedule, and our clinical and academic teams work together to balance emotional support with school progress. Sessions are scheduled around school hours whenever possible, though crisis support may take priority when needed.

Family involvement is a central part of the Roots model. Families may begin with parent sessions in the first 1–2 weeks, followed by weekly family therapy. Roots also offers weekly updates from case managers, a Parent Workshop, a Family Intensive, a Family Trail Guide, and support groups for parents and siblings.

Each client receives a psychiatric evaluation and medical screening early in treatment. Girls typically see psychiatry weekly during stabilization and then as clinically indicated. Roots emphasizes thoughtful long-term medication management, avoids controlled substances unless truly necessary, and communicates medication changes to families within 24 hours.

Staff are trained in trauma-informed de-escalation and crisis prevention. Roots prioritizes relational support, safety planning, and collaborative intervention during safety-related events, and families are notified when needed. Intake also includes clinical, psychiatric, and medical screening to help ensure the program is a safe and appropriate fit.

Roots stays closely connected with families throughout treatment. Parents receive regular communication, ongoing guidance from case management, and monthly written progress summaries. Families are also kept involved in transition planning, and medication changes are communicated within 24 hours.
