Healing for your struggling teenage son is within reach.
"We sent our son to Arivaca hoping
for a miracle, and we received one"
Our Equine therapy program is more than a pony ride or a petting zoo.
We are the only behavioral therapy program that teaches struggling teenage boys
to build relationships of trust with untrained horses.
This facilitates true self-discovery and character building experiences.

-
Reactive Attachment Disorder
-
Oppositional Defiant Disorder

This is the most self-regulated group of boys I have ever seen, not just in a therapeutic environment, but in any other place that boys congregate.… I have never seen better peer-based self-regulation."

The program doesn't change your son, it gives you back your son. It lets him be the great person he was (is!) in spite of recent troubles... this is a place that works with the whole family to improve relationships."

Parent of Alumnus
Being at Arivaca Ranch has been a GREAT experience. I have learned how to handle my emotions. My parents and I have built a great relationship and I know it would not have been possible unless I would have come here."
