"Apricity, Whole Life Recovery" with Michelle Devine Giese, Dan Haak, and Jolie VerVoort

In 2018, STEP Industries and The Mooring Programs merged to become Apricity, a progressive recovery community in Wisconsin. The leadership team brought to life the vision of a one-of-a-kind recovery organization that offers treatment, employment, transitional living, and education. Michelle Devine Giese, the CEO of Apricity, Dan Haak, the President of Apricity Contract Packaging and Recovery Support, and Jolie VerVoort, the President of Residential Treatment Services, discuss their unique, innovative program of recovery, work, and support. Apricity can be reached at Apricity - Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Employment. The State of Wisconsin's Dose of Reality campaign is at Dose of Reality: Opioids in Wisconsin. More information about the federal response to the ongoing opiate crisis can be found at One Pill Can Kill.
