About us
Yakima, Washington-based Sundown M Ranch is a top provider of dual-diagnosis drug and alcohol addiction treatment for adults and children. The first non-profit residential treatment program for substance use disorders (SUD) in Washington State was Sundown M Ranch, which opened its doors in 1968. Offering a thorough and caring approach to treatment, the hospital has helped over 200,000 patients and families overcome the ravages of drug use disorders since its founding.
Tucked away on thirty peaceful acres at the Yakima River Canyon’s entrance, Sundown M Ranch offers a calm setting ideal for recuperation. The facility takes great satisfaction in providing an integrated system of care that includes intense outpatient services, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, detoxification, residential rehabilitation, and mental health evaluations. Every patient gets a comprehensive assessment and a personalized treatment plan made just for them. A mix of skill development, physical activity, psychoeducation, individual, group, and family therapy, as well as relapse prevention techniques, may be included in this strategy.
At Sundown M Ranch, detoxification is intended to assist people in making a safe and comfortable transition away from drugs and alcohol. After detox, patients are smoothly transferred to a structured program for addiction treatment that combines evidence-based methods with 12-step therapies. The facility uses a holistic approach to therapy, taking into account the needs of the patient’s body, mind, and soul.
Sundown M Ranch provides specialty treatments including parenting courses, nicotine cessation programs, and postpartum support groups in addition to conventional therapy methods. The facility also emphasizes family interaction heavily since it understands how important it is for loved ones to be involved in the healing process. Parent-specific support groups provide extra guidance and instruction, assisting families in overcoming the obstacles of addiction and recovery together.
The goal of Sundown M Ranch’s outpatient program is to provide clients who have finished residential treatment or who need less intense care, continuing assistance. Peer support groups, individual and group therapy sessions, and life skills training with an emphasis on rehabilitation are all included in outpatient treatments. Three or four days a week of sessions enable customers to continue their recuperation while attending to other obligations.
With a lengthy history, Sundown M Ranch has always maintained its dedication to provide excellent, reasonably priced care from a team of skilled, caring specialists. Because of the facility’s commitment to patient-centered treatment, every person is certain to get the assistance they need to take back their life and mend their connections.
In addition to being listed by SAMHSA and having a state license in Washington, Sundown M Ranch is also accredited by CARF, has been validated by LegitScript in November 2019, and is officially recognized as a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP). The facility is a reliable partner on the road to recovery because of its extensive, integrated approach to treatment and long-standing reputation for quality.

Out of 10
We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
