Substance abuse is the number one
health epidemic in the United States,
causing more deaths, illnesses, and
disabilities than any other preventable
health condition. The good news is that it
is a treatable disease. Research
confirms
that long-term recovery, a minimum of ninety
days, offers the best
opportunity for long-lasting
recovery.
MARR has a successful thirty-five year track record
in treating addicted individuals
and their families.
MARR provides long-term residential treatment at a
fraction of the
cost of most short-term hospitalizations.
However, healthcare costs are ever
increasing and our
commitment to remain affordable and accessible to ALL
those in
need can only be fulfilled through your generosity.
You have several options available to you to support our ongoing efforts to treat addicted
persons and their families. A list of ways to give is provided for your convenience. Please
do not hesitate to contact our Fund Development Office for assistance at 678-805-5110 or
email to lisa.scott@marrinc.org
If a loved one or friend of yours is addicted to drugs or alcohol, please call 800-732-5430.
Because of your financial support, we're here to offer advice, help and professional direction to those in need.
