Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch – Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (Billings)

Company Description

Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch in Billings, Montana operates a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) that provides 24/7 residential care for youth whose mental health needs make it unsafe to remain at home. The organization describes its residential program as based on a structured, therapeutic environment on its historic ranch campus, designed to help stabilize high-acuity symptoms while building daily living and coping skills.

On its admissions information, Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch states that the PRTF serves youth ages 11–18. Treatment is intended for young people coping with serious emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related challenges that require a higher level of supervision and clinical support than outpatient services can provide. The residential program is part of a broader continuum of care that includes step-down options such as therapeutic group homes and community-based supports across Montana.

A key theme across the organization’s materials is helping youth develop safety, routines, and healthier relationships through consistent structure, therapeutic programming, and coordination with caregivers. Families can expect an intake and assessment process, an individualized plan of care, and ongoing planning for transition back to the community when clinically appropriate.

Because fit and level-of-care decisions matter, caregivers are encouraged to review Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch’s residential admissions resources and to contact the program directly for guidance on referrals, eligibility, and what to expect during residential treatment at the ranch.
