ABOUT SUNDOWN M RANCH
Founded in 1968, Sundown M Ranch is a nonprofit treatment center located on 30 acres of land near the Yakima River Canyon in Washington State. Our facility provides services to both adolescents and adults who are dealing with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. We offer a range of treatment programs including detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient treatment (IOP), and standard outpatient care (OP). In addition, our organization supports peer-to-peer mentorship through our alumni program.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
At Sundown M Ranch, we strive to provide prompt admission to our facility. While same-day admission is sometimes available, most clients seeking residential treatment complete a pre-admission application. Our treatment begins with a detoxification period, and once stabilized, clients engage in a highly structured curriculum that incorporates the 12-Steps, individual, group, and family therapy, addiction education, and ongoing evaluation. We also offer specialized treatment tracks for older adults, pregnant and post-partum women, and individuals who have experienced a relapse. Fitness activities and chaplain services are available to all residents.
For adolescent clients, we offer a school program in collaboration with the Selah School District, allowing them to continue their education while undergoing treatment. Students not only earn academic credit but also receive daily physical education that includes basketball, volleyball, running, and weightlifting.
Outpatient treatment for clients and their families is available through individualized counseling and our IOP program, which combines addiction education with group counseling.
STAFF CREDENTIALS

Visitors and phone calls are permitted after an initial six-day blackout period.
WHAT ALUMNI SAY
Alumni reviews submitted to Best-rehabs.com were generally positive, although some alumni expressed concerns about the staff’s training and the program’s counseling. One alumni found the quality of care to be inconsistent, while another noted that their counselor was still undergoing training and experiencing a relapse. Another reviewer felt that the facility could have better addressed their mental health concerns. However, most alumni expressed satisfaction with the care they received, finding it to be affordable and ultimately effective. Some alumni even expressed a desire to stay at the facility longer.
WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
When asked about the likelihood of recommending the facility, friends and family members gave an average rating of 3.83 out of five stars. They were particularly impressed with the program’s family participation and the facility’s cleanliness. The affordability of the program also received positive ratings. However, friends and family members were less impressed with the program’s holistic options and counseling, citing a need for more activities and more one-on-one sessions.
WHAT STAFF SAY
One staff member who was polled praised the program for being very supportive of both the family and the patient. However, they noted that the center focuses strictly on chemical dependency and does not recognize any mental health component in addiction.
