About Home on the Range
Home On The Range - Sentinel Butte, North Dakota
Home On The Range sits in the vast open grasslands of Sentinel Butte, North Dakota, alongside the stretch of I-94 where the badlands rise and fall in every direction. In reading about this facility, I’m immediately struck by how different it feels from a typical drug rehab or addiction treatment center.
It’s a working ranch offering kids aged 12-17 room to breathe when life has been heavy with trauma, abuse or substance use struggles. While this is not a free program, they do work with families to find solutions if costs are a barrier.
Healing With Animals
I’m pleased to learn Home On The Range blends therapy with hands-on learning. Kids can work with horses, train rescue dogs and spend long days outdoors. These options may resonate with children who haven’t responded well to traditional inpatient care.
The equine and canine programs at Home On The Range are especially unique. They help youth practice emotional regulation, not by lecturing, but by teaching them how to soothe an anxious horse or guide an uncertain dog. The techniques they learn in the moment become lifelong skills to manage future challenges.
A Safe Place to Start Over
Home On The Range also allows kids to pursue their education while in treatment for trauma, abuse and dysfunctional relationship dynamics. They offer public school access, tutoring, campus classrooms and even on-site GED testing.
Beyond education, kids receive therapy, spiritual guidance and opportunities for work and recreation to build consistency, confidence and purpose. In the beauty of rural North Dakota, children at Home On The Range can finally shift out of survival mode and start laying the foundation for a productive, meaningful future, whatever that may look like.
