“I love MARR’s emphasis on the therapeutic community. It is beautiful to be a part of people’s journeys of recovery, and watch them take risks and do relationships differently with others working towards the same goals of recovery. At most treatment centers the emphasis is on individual growth. Here at MARR the emphasis is on growing together.”
