About the Wyalusing Academy

The Wyalusing Academy opened in 1969 as a Residential Treatment Facility. The facility, originally a Catholic High School for girls, is located in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin on seventeen acres in a quiet residential area overlooking the Mississippi River.

The three story brick structure, with a capacity of 105 residents, has classroom and offices located on the main floor and basement level and living units on the second and third floors. The living units are dormitory style and each unit has its own TV/Lounge area, game room and kitchen.

Program Success:

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of placing agencies report feeling that Wyalusing Academy accommodated for the specific, individual treatment and length of stay needs for the child. Ninety-four percent (94%) of placing agencies indicate that they would place another child at Wyalusing Academy.

Success Rate:

On average, over 75% of the children and adolescents who were treated at Clinicare Facilities met the expectations of their treatment plan and were clinically discharged. A clinical discharge is defined as a discharge whereupon a resident meets the expectations defined in their Individual Treatment Plan (ITP), and is able to return to a less restrictive setting. A non-clinical discharge is defined as a discharge in which the resident fails to meet the expectations of their Individual Treatment Plan (ITP), is discharged to a more restrictive setting or another CCI, or is discharged by court order or 3rd party payer prior to completion of treatment.
