Residential Treatment Centers for Teens from North Dakota
WinGate is a premier Treatment Center that offers help for teens from North Dakota in need of treatment for behavioral, emotional and mental health concerns through our Treatment Center. We receive referrals from Residential Treatment Centers all over the country. Our goal is to guide troubled teenagers in overcoming their substance abuse and addiction problems so they can start a new life of sobriety. Though WinGate may be located outside of North Dakota, we enroll teens from any state in the US.
Although WinGate is not a Residential Treatment Center, we provide many of the same services, only in an outdoor setting. Our Wilderness Therapy Program takes struggling adolescents away from their peers in North Dakota and places them in the beautiful surroundings of the outdoors. With no outside distractions, teens can focus fully on recovery and changing their negative behaviors into positive ones.
Many parents have a difficult time fully understanding the issues their teen is facing. Depression, addictions, behavioral concerns, failure in school, and sexual promiscuity are often complicated by underlying mental health concerns. We work to address what is causing the behavior and then focus on gaining insight into helping adolescents change their habits.
We have found the best approach to bringing positive, lasting changes in a teen’s life is through honor, respect, and understanding, rather than confrontation. With the beautiful surroundings of nature, we nurture teens from North Dakota, and help them identify and focus on their strengths.
Parents who are searching for Treatment Centers for their troubled teenager should contact our WinGate representatives to learn how the outdoors can completely change a struggling teen’s perspective in life.
We are here to offer guidance, understanding and help so parents of teens in North Dakota can decide if our Wilderness Therapy Program will be right for their child. Call WinGate Wilderness Therapy at (800) 560-1599 and speak with one of our consultants today!

We give them the key tools they need to embrace so they can live a sober life even when they return to North Dakota.

They are truly able to clear their minds and gain a greater level of focus and understanding. The outdoors offers a natural openness that allows teenagers to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, fears and issues with their peers and their therapeutic staff members. Through both individual and group therapy, teens in North Dakota begin to transform their mind and body.

Wilderness Therapy for North Dakota Troubled Teens
We help troubled teens from the North Dakota area. Working with highly resistant teens and young adults is hard! So it's understandable that most programs rely on level systems, rewards, punishments, and other behavioral techniques to manage client behavior. We recognize that one condition can't be carried over to all of our clients. Because of this, WinGate Wilderness Therapy is devoted to the supervision of each child's needs, and we do this with consideration and care.
Call us today at (800) 560-1599 to see how we can help your troubled teen and the whole family.
