Review for Metro Atlanta Recovery Residences Inc, Doraville, GA, USA
I came to MARR hoping to dry out for a few months and escape the mounting troubles my drinking was causing in my life. My idea of rehab was based mainly on tv shows...MARR was nothing like what I expected. I had to do real emotional work and confront a lifetime of feelings that I ran away from. I didn't know I was going to find a family in the staff and the other patients, but I did. I learned so much about myself, and most importantly how to live life on life's terms. Before MARR, I felt like a hamster in a wheel just barely making it through each day and never getting anywhere. Now, I have hopes and dreams, live is an exciting journey rather than a struggle. I gave myself fully to the program and have reaped the rewards. It is hard work, but it is worth it. The staff is expert and experienced. I am so grateful to have ended up at MARR and not at one of the yoga resort rehabs I had seen on TV.
