About Pennington County
Pennington County Care Campus is the addiction treatment service operated by Pennington County in Rapid City, South Dakota, at 321 Kansas City Street, Suite 110. As a county-administered program, the Care Campus serves residents of western South Dakota across Pennington County, with strong coordination with the Sheriff’s Office, the county jail, and other public-safety functions that frequently encounter substance use issues at the front end.
The program offers a continuum that includes medical detoxification, residential treatment, outpatient programming, and intensive outpatient services (IOP). The Care Campus model is designed to provide stabilization and treatment access for adults whose substance use has brought them into contact with the criminal justice system or local emergency services, with clear pathways for co-occurring disorder care alongside primary substance use treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the documented clinical method.
Unique among addiction programs, the Care Campus operates within a county-government framework, which gives it deep integration with adjacent public systems. The county website lists detox program access alongside services like inmate mental health, juvenile services, veteran services, and economic assistance. This system positioning allows the Care Campus to coordinate care for clients whose substance use intersects with other public-system involvement — incarceration, child welfare, public assistance, or court orders.
Payment options reflect the program’s public-system orientation: Medicaid, self-pay, and financial assistance are documented payment methods. As a county-run service, the Care Campus is structured to be accessible to residents regardless of insurance status, with broader public-funding mechanisms supporting individuals who cannot afford private treatment. Self-screening tools provided through the county portal allow individuals or family members to begin the assessment process before contacting the program directly.
