About Casa Clare, A division of Apricity – Appleton
Apricity’s Casa Clare is a residential drug and alcohol recovery facility for women in Appleton, Wisconsin. You’ll stay in a welcoming home environment in a safe suburban neighborhood. There are staff onsite around the clock to run the programs and help you if you when needed.
I noticed that Casa Clare has created a treatment program that gradually reduces the amount of supervision until each lady can hold her own. Their first level is a 45 day commitment. During this time you’ll spend most of your time in group therapy learning skills such as how to set boundaries, healthy coping skills and dealing with shame. You’ll meet with a counselor alone to discuss anything you find challenging and your goals.
After 45 days, you’ll have the option of staying on in the home. You’ll still be part of some of the group sessions and meet with your counselor. During this stage, you’ll begin working, take up volunteering or pick up on your studies. This stage is important for building a supportive sober community outside of the home.
The third stage of recovery is to join the semi-independent living program. You’ll move out of the home but still attend weekly group meetings and less frequent individual sessions. This slow progression to independence has been helpful.
Another initiative that I found helpful for recovery is their peer recovery program. They’re available through the Recovery 180 mobile app to offer support, encouragement and links to community resources.
