MISSION:
Metro Atlanta Recovery Residences offers to addicted adults and their families the chance to build a new way of life. Our mission is to bring lasting, total recovery through high-quality, cost-effective, gender-specific alcohol and drug addiction treatment. Studies show that longer alcohol and drug addiction treatment renders more effective results and we believe making this 90-day minimum commitment is necessary to foster significant change. MARR provides a safe, supportive, and structured environment where alcohol and drug addicted individuals can achieve and maintain sobriety, return to work and resume productive lives.

MARR alcohol and drug addiction rehab programs are spiritually-based using the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Our intensive residential addiction treatment program is designed for those suffering from a primary diagnosis of alcohol and/or drug addiction. The minimum 90-day alcohol and drug addiction treatment program includes intensive day treatment, therapeutic community, group, individual, and family counseling.  Extended recovery residences are available after the initial 90 day alcohol and drug addiction treatment, for up to one year or longer. MARR is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), is a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Programs (NAATP), and is fully licensed under the laws of the State of Georgia.
