OT to turn therapeutic breakthroughs into daily life skills

A nature-based reset with 24/7 medical oversight

Whole-family support designed for lasting change at home

When your daughter is struggling, home can feel overwhelming for everyone. If weekly therapy has stalled, your daughter needs a safe and supervised setting where healing is built into every hour.

Roots Renewal Ranch provides residential treatment for teen girls in the Dallas area. We serve birth-assigned females 13–17, helping them move past surface behaviors like substance use or school refusal to treat the complex trauma and emotional pain underneath.

Residential treatment for teen girls near Dallas

Many Dallas families start searching for residential treatment when weekly therapy is no longer enough.

You may see big mood swings, deep sadness, falling grades, or school refusal. You may see her using alcohol, vaping, or self-harm as maladaptive tools to numb her pain.

At Roots, we provide a break from this cycle, replacing daily pressures with a convicted belief that she is enough.

Sometimes healing starts with getting out of the same cycle

Progress is hard when your daughter is surrounded by the same Dallas-area triggers every day. Our residential program gives your daughter the space to regulate her nervous system away from social stress.

  • Practical growth: Move from surviving to thriving with a structured, nature-based routine.
  • Regain stability: Feel safer in her own body through trauma-informed care and learn to regulate emotions
  • Rebuild trust: Experience relational healing rather than tough love or punishment.

Dallas families choose Roots when they’re looking for lasting change, not short-term relief.

Who we help

Roots Renewal Ranch serves birth-assigned females 13–17 who need a higher level of support. We support girls struggling with co-occurring issues like anxiety, trauma, depression, substance use, and disordered eating.

Because many of our residents face more than one challenge at once, we use a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens to treat the whole girl and the whole family.

In our 16-bed community, she is never a “patient” but a person who is seen and heard. Here, she can step out of destructive cycles, build healthier coping skills, and begin deep healing.

What residential treatment looks like

At the ranch, your daughter lives in a modern, staff-secured home where her nervous system can rest and build a healthy identity. We help her build skills she can use in real life.

  • The Healthy Mind Platter: A daily rhythm that balances therapy, “sober fun,” family-style healthy meals, and quiet reflection.
  • 8 clinical focus weeks: An intentional journey through themes like grief and loss and values and worth.
  • Active progress: Turning “talk therapy” into real-world action through occupational therapy, animal care, and music- and art-based experiences.
  • Advanced trauma care: Utilizing ART and EMDR to process trauma quickly.

FAQs: Residential treatment for teen girls in Dallas

Discharge planning begins on day one to ensure a soft landing back home. Families transition with a personalized reintegration plan, a 90-day aftercare bridge, and ongoing parent coaching. You and your daughter remain connected through our weekly alumni groups and the Family Trail Guide app, ensuring the muscle memory of her recovery stays strong in her home environment.

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 with more than one issue, 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. Your daughter lives in a structured environment with 24/7 support, therapy, family involvement, and real-life skill building. Roots is 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, parent workshops, Family Intensive Weekends, the Family Trail Guide app, and support groups for parents and siblings.

Each client receives a psychiatric evaluation and medical screening early in treatment. Girls typically see a psychiatrist 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.
