The Second Chance Ranch is more than just a sober living environment; it's a community and a family. Our mission is to provide teenagers with a safe and positive, post-treatment environment based on 12-step principles and educate parents on creating the same at home.
The Second Chance Ranch was formed to fill the gap and meet the needs of struggling youth needing extended care services after completion of substance abuse treatment. Currently there are none of these programs in the State of Oklahoma for youth. While treatment is crucial, it is only a small part of the recovery journey. The time immediately following treatment is critical for the long-term success of recovery. The Second Chance Ranch will offer youth an opportunity to gain the life skills and confidence needed to return to a positive and productive life in long-term recovery.
Research has shown that upon completing treatment, the longer a person is exposed to a sober community and engages with it, the longer they will stay sober. The sober living environment is designed to provide the best chance of success in early recovery for teens and their families who are strongly motivated to change their life.
After a teen completes treatment, they often return home and are exposed to old friends and engaged in a dysfunctional family dynamic that was not adequately addressed in treatment. In many cases, it sets teens up for relapse. We provide better chances for success in long-term recovery by removing those pitfalls and providing a positive environment
Can we count on YOU to help us meet our goal? YOUR support will give struggling teens a second chance.
