Why Choose MARR Treatment Centers?

With 50 years of experience helping people reclaim their lives, we continue improving our services and offering innovative addiction treatment solutions. We understand that starting a partial hospitalization program requires careful planning and preparation and can be a tough decision for yourself or a loved one. However, at MARR Treatment Centers, you can expect structured daily treatment while remaining flexible to return home each evening.

Assessment and Individualized Treatment Planning

We have a staff of qualified mental health professionals, including therapists, counselors, social workers, and nurses. They form your treatment team and thoroughly evaluate each person’s needs to determine their level of care and treatment approach. Your personalized treatment plan addresses your challenges and goals.

The assessment process includes:

• Mental health evaluations involve a comprehensive assessment of your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Our process includes interviews, questionnaires, and standardized tests to identify any mental health disorders and understand your coping mechanisms and support systems.
  
• Substance use screenings (if applicable) identify if you are misusing drugs or alcohol. The screening helps us develop effective intervention strategies.
  
• Medical history reviews provide detailed information about your medical conditions, treatments, and surgeries. We can be prepared for potential health risks, guide diagnosis, and inform treatment plans.
  
• Current medication assessments are a review of all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and supplements. We want to be able to identify potential drug interactions and make sure you are following your dosage schedule.
  
• Family and social support evaluation shows us your relationships and support systems, including family, friends, and community resources. We also need to know if this support is missing in your life.

Insurance and Financial Considerations

We work with various private insurance providers. While we rarely encounter issues verifying insurance, we always encourage you to ask questions and are aware of any out-of-pocket costs.

Financial considerations include:

• Insurance deductibles and copayments
• Length of approved treatment
• Medication costs
• Transportation expenses

Our admissions team works with you to explain costs and payment options. We don’t want your uncertainty about coverage to be the reason you don’t seek treatment. We are always available to answer questions.

MARR Treatment Centers’ Partial Hospitalization Program in Atlanta, GA

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) in Atlanta, GA provides intensive treatment while allowing our clients to return home each evening. We see this as a balanced approach that helps people with mental health disorders and substance use issues get the care they need without full hospitalization.

Treatment focuses on developing coping skills and managing symptoms. An effective way to accomplish this is through structured daily schedules. A schedule helps you improve productivity and reduce chaos or anxiety.

A schedule promotes routine and stability by providing clear time allocations for work, self-care, and leisure, which can be particularly beneficial to our clients.

Life skills development focuses on equipping you with practical skills necessary for managing everyday challenges and enhancing your quality of life.

Skills may include communication, problem-solving, financial management, and self-care training. Nurturing these skills can help you become more self-sufficient and confident, which is particularly important for those in rehab programs.

Talk Therapy

Group therapy sessions form the foundation of PHP treatment. Groups of 8-12 patients meet daily to share experiences, practice coping skills, and support each other’s recovery. These sessions help patients feel less alone and learn from others’ experiences.

Individual therapy involves working through personal challenges one-on-one with a therapist. Patients typically have 2-3 individual weekly sessions to set goals, track progress, and address private concerns.

Family therapy brings loved ones into the treatment process. These sessions improve communication, rebuild trust, and help families understand how to support recovery.

Evidence-Based Strategies

Evidence-based treatments like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) help our clients change negative thought patterns and develop healthy coping strategies.

Art therapy and experiential activities give our clients new ways to express their emotions and process trauma. These creative outlets complement traditional talk therapy.

Our psychoeducation groups teach our clients about mental health conditions, medication management, and relapse prevention. This knowledge helps them make informed decisions about their care.

Complementary Therapies for Comprehensive Care

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be used alongside therapy when appropriate. Medical staff monitor medication effectiveness and adjust treatment plans as needed.

Wellness activities include mindfulness practice, exercise, nutrition education, and sleep hygiene.

Holistic therapies focus on the whole person, not just specific addiction-related symptoms. Our therapists consider our clients’ physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, allowing them to achieve balance and develop coping skills.

We use several holistic therapy services, including yoga, mindfulness, breath work, and sound immersion.

These practical skills support long-term recovery and help patients transition to regular routines.

Managing Co-Occurring Disorders and Specialized Care

Mental health treatment requires careful attention to multiple conditions that often occur together. 8.4% of US adults experience both substance use and mental health disorders simultaneously.

Dual Diagnosis and Treatment Approaches

Specialized dual diagnosis programs address both mental health and substance use disorders together. This integrated approach proves more effective than treating each condition separately.

Treatment plans typically include therapy sessions, medication management, and group support. Medical professionals monitor medications weekly to ensure proper dosing and effectiveness.

Common mental health conditions treated include:

• Depression and anxiety
• Bipolar disorder
• PTSD and OCD
• Schizophrenia
• Personality disorders
