About Casa Clare, A division of Apricity
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.
Three Levels of Live In Recovery In Vibrant Appleton
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.
Peer Recovery Coaches in Eastern Central Wisconsin
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.

They are not interested in helping anyone with addiction or mental disorders - my daughter was not even there a week and I had to give her the news that her Grandpa was put in hospice - she was upset and kicked a chair outside - discharged her for kicking a chair - when they know she is diagnosed with BPD … how about helping them cope rather than punishing ?!
They focus more on enforcing their rules than treating addiction disorder,, in my opinion. In that I mean that I received 3 disciplinary reviews.; 2 for forgetting to report that I had completed my chore(I did do the chores) and the 3rd was for leaving group without permission as I was uncontrollably crying and felt the need to leave. They told me if I received a 4th I would be discharged. They are very punitive. I know how to keep my areas clean out here in the world and I know how to keep a job. All they had to do was look to see that I did what I was supposed to but they chose to punish me instead. Some of the staff are very condescending.... As a 49 year old recovering addict who has no extensive criminal record and understands the basics of how to maneuver this world, this place just wasn't for me. If you've never been able to follow rules and live with any modicum of success and need the extensive discipline, then this would be the place to be. It's just not for a self respecting adult who merely needs help with a chemical dependance. The administrator, Mike, comes off as controlling and egotistical in my opinion. I spoke from my heart about my thoughts in one of his groups and he treated me as though he did not like what I had to say. My time there was good for getting some clean time under my belt but I've chose to explore other avenues that are more beneficial to me, such as outpatient, etc...
I went volantarily and i would not recommend it for someone that wants to be treated as an adult seeking help. The staff was rude and made you do insulting exercises against other people trying to get help which created a deep distrust among residents. You could not have any snacks or drinks in your room and were punished if you did. The food was terrible and mostly outdated donated. They concentrated most about cleaning chores. I went there for help, not to learn how to clean. It was a very unhelpful experience.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Clients who are admitted to an outpatient rehab may be stepping down from intensive inpatient care or may be transitioning directly from a detox facility. Outpatient treatment enables clients to remain in or return to their home, workplace, and community without compromising access to care. Clients engage in addiction counseling and recovery education and may also receive evidence-based complementary therapies, such as yoga, acupuncture, and massage. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is commonly available for clients in alcohol and/or opioid recovery.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Rehab aftercare programs support clients' long-term recovery through highly customized wraparound care aligned with clients' evolving needs. Most have been sober for a period of weeks or longer and have completed intensive inpatient rehab but may be receiving outpatient care. Many clients also receive services after being discharged from formal treatment. Long-term care plans are typically developed in collaboration with the client's case manager and care team and may include peer coaching, relapse prevention, and related services.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Sober living houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. People who meet the criteria are able to choose to live with others in a similar phase of treatment in gender specific apartments off site. They attend a minimum of one group per week and weekly one-on-one sessions.
24-hour clinical care in Wisconsin is an essential safety protocol during addiction treatment. Medical staff provides treatment to address withdrawal symptoms and other health issues. Mental health professionals are available to address co-occurring disorders or other psychological concerns. Other resources may include family counselors, case managers, and nutritionists.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
The goal of drug rehab in Wisconsin is to address drug addiction as a complex issue that involves physical, mental, and relational aspects. During rehab, treatment focuses on each of these areas and gives you the tools you need to achieve and maintain sobriety.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Clinical Services
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy gives you the opportunity to understand and manage the emotional and physical responses that often follow witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Working with an experienced and trained therapist, you can process the events of the trauma and develop healthier coping strategies to reduce your symptoms.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
