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 drug and alcohol addiction is a treatable disease. Research confirms that long-term recovery — a minimum of 90 days — offers the best opportunity for long-lasting recovery.
MARR has a successful 38-year track record in treating addicted individuals and their families. We provide 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 everyone 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 send an email.
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.
| Ways to Give A variety of charitable giving opportunities are available to alumni, families and friends who want to help by contributing to MARR. Our top giving priorities for 2011-12 are the Annual Fund and the Scholarship Fund. All gifts — large and small — are gratefully accepted and individually acknowledged. Our commitment to remain affordable and accessible to everyone in need can only be fulfilled through the generosity of alumni, families and friends. For more information about gifts, please contact the Fund Development Office at 678-805-5110. |
| Annual Fund | The Annual Fund is foremost and vital to MARR’s charitable mission. These unrestricted funds are needed for growth and the long-term stability of the organization. |
| Scholarship Fund | MARR has created a Scholarship Fund to help alleviate the financial barrier and allow immediate access to treatment for those clients that have the need. |
| Memorial/Tribute Gift | Memorial/tribute gifts are a wonderful way to celebrate someone’s sobriety or a special occasion, to thank a friend or relative for their support, to honor a special person in your life, or to remember the life of a loved one. |
| Matching Gifts | You can often double or triple your gift to MARR with matching funds provided by your employer. Check with your company’s personnel office to see if your company offers a gift matching option. |
