NBI Ranch is for adults suffering from anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or related conditions who would benefit from living in a supportive setting that complements intensive treatment at NBI.
The program offers structure, support, socialization, and activities to help residents find a path to a better life.
NBI Ranch is located in Southwest Ranches, Florida — a beautiful rural town just west of Fort Lauderdale and north of Miami. It’s an ideal setting to focus on transforming your life.

One of NBI Ranch’s goals is for residents to have a sense of independence, capability and adventure. Residents are offered nature-based and wellness-enhancing activities, at the Ranch and in the community, including equine therapy, cultivating the vegetable garden and CBT yoga. Together, residents prepare meals and take care of common living spaces. NBI Ranch is a great place to start making life enjoyable again.

Meet our In-House Team
At the frontline of NBI Ranch, Residential Counselors ensure safety and security as well as troubleshoot and communicate any issues that may arise. Always on-premises and awake 24/7, RCs have degrees in related fields and foster teamwork, social communication and problem-solving skills.
The in-house RC team provides each resident's clinical team at NBI with meaningful data collected daily under the supervision of a Board-Certified Behavioral Analyst. The integration of this information creates the synergy between treatment at NBI and life at NBI Ranch, with the goal of improving the prognosis for residents to successfully return home or move on to a “next steps” program.

A Day In The Life Of NBI Ranch
The RCs guide excursions and activities in the community, such as indoor skydiving, go-cart racing, art classes, or a day at the beach. We recognize putting “regular life” on hold to seek treatment is a brave and emotional choice. RCs understand that as well and take pride in being available anytime to listen to any struggles residents may be having outside of treatment hours.

The excellent care I received at the hands of NBI’s skilled and experienced practitioners made a real difference.
There are absolutely no words to describe how grateful I am to NBI for literally saving my life.
The therapists went above and beyond and I was challenged in new ways. My life changed for the better, plain and simple.
NBI has changed my life and i am so grateful to Dr. Moritz, Dr. Bechor, and the entire NBI team.
