Alternative Day Schools & Residential Treatment Programs
We Help Achieve the Success Youth Deserve
Who we are
Since 1967, Clinicare has provided residential treatment in the state of Wisconsin for children and adolescents in an atmosphere based on value and respect. Starting in 2000, we added alternative day schools to our family of programs, and in 2007 we began providing residential treatment in the state of South Dakota.
Our multi-faceted approach has been developed based upon the needs of youth, families, and agencies. This needs-driven approach has afforded Clinicare a reputation as one of the most innovative service providers in the Midwest.
In 2022 Clinicare made the difficult decision to discontinue offering residential treatment in Wisconsin and focus on building up its alternative schools and South Dakota residential treatment programs.
