How to Access Treatment for a Child at Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch


1

Contact our admissions team at 701-221-5304 to learn more about our residential treatment program and if it's the right fit for your child.


2

If we determine the Ranch may be a good fit for your child, we will ask you to complete and submit the Universal Application.


3

Wait for our call to update you on the progress of your application. If we have everything we need, we can make a decision in 7-14 days.

 

NOTE: If you are interested in your child attending Dakota Memorial School as a Day Student, learn more here. The Day Program has a separate application process that doesn't require you to complete the Universal Application.

A fully completed Universal Application will assist us in evaluating your child’s treatment needs, allowing us to move through the admissions process faster. Documents generally requested include the following (some do not apply to all referrals):

  • School documents (Individual Education Plan (IEP), 504, grades, and current classes)
  • Reports from previous placements (hospitalizations, treatment facilities, etc.)
  • Inpatient and outpatient services
  • Progress (not from previous providers)
  • Psychological testing
  • Medical information
  • Court orders

Please note: We may ask for additional information to help us make the best treatment decision for your child.
