Our Mission

Affecting positive change in the lives of individuals with addictions and their families through education, intensive therapy, and a compassionate, caring atmosphere.

We envision individuals living successfully in their recovery and becoming more productive members of society.

The Ranch was founded by the Maryland Sheriffs’ Association to provide assistance and a home for at risk, troubled, or homeless boys in Maryland. It was incorporated in 1974. For 41 years, the Ranch has provided group home living to youth ages 10-18 that were referred by the Department of Social Services and the Department of Juvenile Services. In 2015, the Ranch decided to change their focus to serve men with substance use disorders.

Substance use disorders are at a critical, all-time high. After years of helping hundreds of children, the Ranch has decided to take their expertise, top-notch facility, and trained staff to try and meet the needs that are plaguing our adults today – substance use.
