About Mooring Programs Inc

Mooring Programs Inc, now operating as Apricity, is a substance use disorder treatment and recovery organization in Appleton, Wisconsin. They offer gender-specific residential care at Mooring House for men and Casa Clare for women, in a homelike setting that is staffed around the clock. Care moves through several stages: a high-intensity residential program (ASAM level 3.5), a low-intensity residential phase (level 3.1), a semi-independent living program, and sober living homes. Their mission centers on keeping people connected to recovery support for a full year, combining treatment with employment, housing, and recovery coaching.

Most clients start with a stay of at least 45 days in high-intensity treatment, attending several groups daily, seven days a week, on topics such as coping skills, shame, thinking errors, boundaries, and assertive communication, along with regular sessions with a primary counselor. The curriculum is evidence-based rather than 12-step and draws on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. Graduates can stay on in the low-intensity phase while returning to work, school, or volunteering, then apply for off-site semi-independent living with weekly group and individual sessions. Their certified sober living homes cost $450 to $500 per month and include live-in house managers, drug screening, and free recovery coaching, and residents must work, study, or volunteer 40 hours a week, often through Apricity’s own contract packaging business, which employs only people in recovery.
