Marr

Atlanta, GA

Since 1975, MARR Addiction Treatment Centers has provided comprehensive long-term residential addiction treatment through gender-specific programs focused on lasting recovery. Operating two specialized facilities in Georgia—a women's center in Lawrenceville and a men's center in Atlanta—MARR helps individuals overcome drug and alcohol addiction through a structured, community-oriented approach. The treatment program progresses through three distinct phases: a 6-week initial phase, followed by an 8-week second phase, and a final phase lasting 12 weeks or longer. This graduated structure supports clients through their recovery journey with increasing levels of independence. Treatment at MARR combines individual therapy—including psychiatric evaluations, addiction education, and relapse prevention—with diverse group therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, family dynamics work, and EMDR. The centers also offer a specialized disordered eating program featuring registered dietician support, mindful eating education, and dedicated 12-Step meetings. MARR emphasizes community as a healing element, incorporating recreational facilities like volleyball and basketball courts, organized outings to local shops, and hiking excursions. Their shared, gender-specific accommodations create an environment where clients can focus on recovery while developing healthy relationships and life skills. Throughout treatment, clients engage in activities designed to address work-life balance, boundary setting, and relationship building—essential components for sustainable recovery and successful reintegration into independent living.
