CASA CLARE A DIVISION OF MOORING PROGRAM INC

I was angry and my life was a mess! The staff at Casa were caring and so helpful! I owe my life to them! One year later and I am sober and loving life! The things you learn stay with you forever! 4-7-8!

I went to Casa and was so surprised by how wonderful it was. We really all become a family. I remember 2 girls were pregnant and worried about their babies. A girl named Haley was one of them pregnant girls and today she's been sober for almost 2 yrs. She had her beautiful son and is doing amazing. Has her own apartment and just doing such great things in her and her son's life. I know Casa Clare and friendships she had helped her so much. The counselors really care about you and you can feel that. I'm so proud of so many people I meet there. Thank you Casa for all you do for so many lives

Casa Clare took me in the same week I called for help, after not showing up for 2 prior intake appointments. I was 38 weeks pregnant, I was deep in addiction, homeless, and lost. This program not only got me sober and offered support, they are the reason I was able to keep custody of my baby and continue to thrive almost 2 years later. They helped make postings on local support groups to help me gather needed baby supplies, let me bring my newborn to group sessions, and still to this day offer updated letters of completion and support. The counselors are able to connect with residents, as they have fought their own personal demons which makes sobriety feel so much more attainable. Thanks Casa Clare, I wouldn't be an independent, sober mama that's about to graduate college if it weren't for your support and guidance lifting me up from rock bottom. You guys truly helped to save mine and my babies life. ❣️

I stopped a physical fight from breaking out because everyone has trauma right. the house manager Amber chose not to come out of the office and de-escalate the situation. I take accountability for my actions and should have stayed out of it. I was discharged because I allegedly "made a mocking face at other clients". 5 other women were forced to leave as well because of they're involvement. It is sad that I did not get another chance or the opportunity to agree to some type of behavioral contract which I would have gladly done. I was and am still committed to my recovery. Lesson learned.

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...
