Ranch Recovery Centers Inc - DBA The Ranch

A Men’s Residential Setting Built for Focus and Routine

The Ranch is a residential program for adult men in Desert Hot Springs, set against desert skies and mountain views. The campus emphasizes a steady daily rhythm and space to reset away from day-to-day triggers. Men live in shared rooms and have access to outdoor areas designed for downtime and reflection, including gardens, walking paths, and outdoor lounges, along with a pool and fitness options. Visitors are allowed, and clients can access a mobile phone and a computer during treatment.

On-Site Detox and Step-Through Residential Care

For clients who need it, The Ranch offers medical detox/withdrawal management on site with 24-hour staff oversight. Detox is designed to stabilize withdrawal symptoms before clients transition directly into residential programming. Treatment can be short- or longer-term, which can help people match care intensity to their needs. The facility also offers tailored support for groups such as veterans, active duty service members, military families, and people involved with the criminal justice system.

Evidence-Based Therapy With Medication Support When Appropriate

Treatment begins with comprehensive medical, substance use, and mental health assessments to guide an individualized plan developed with the client. Core approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, anger management, trauma-related counseling, and 12-step facilitation. The program can provide medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone, and can also prescribe medications for alcohol use disorder and mental health conditions when clinically appropriate. This integrated approach supports clients with co-occurring mental health needs alongside substance use treatment.

Practical Skills and Discharge Planning for Life After Residential Treatment

Beyond therapy, The Ranch includes education and skill-building to support day-to-day stability in recovery, with structured groups and activities that reinforce healthy routines. Discharge planning focuses on next steps, including referrals and connections to recovery supports such as self-help groups, housing services, employment counseling or training, and help accessing social services. Language services include Spanish, sign language for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and Farsi, and the facility is physically accessible.
