About Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch – Billings
Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch is a behavioral health program for children between the ages of eleven and eighteen in Billings, Montana. They’re a residential program that also provides community based services locally.
In their residential program, youth participate in scheduled sessions from the time when they wake up in the morning through the evening. The predictable daily schedule provides youth with routine and structure that is therapeutic. They become part of the community during their stay and, in doing so, they start to learn accountability towards others and themselves.
Their staff use evidence based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. They’re trained in using trauma informed approaches to treatment and service delivery.
While enrolled, children continue their schooling through the Yellowstone Academy. This is the onsite school with teachers who are trained to work with children with behavioral health needs. The supportive environment and staffing help children continue to meet their educational needs while they’re in treatment.
Most people use insurance to cover the cost of their stay. There are some managed Medicaid programs that will cover treatment. They’re in-network with TRICARE West, Blue Cross and other private health insurers, but you should verify your benefits before getting services.
