Review for Metro Atlanta Recovery Residences Inc, Doraville, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

"In 1982, at age 24, I showed up at Marr after living on the road with a 80's cover band and surviving on peanut butter, beer and whatever drugs we could afford. One of the last memories I have of "hitting my bottom" was of living in Daytona Beach and going to biker bars at 11am because they served beer for a nickel. When I got to Marr I didnt even own underthings or a brush. I was wearing a size 0 pants. Thankfully, I was given grants and a loan. I went from being an Atheist to having a profound spiritual conversion experience and have maintained abstinence for over 28 years. Thank God, not only did MARR save my life they restored me to sanity. Today, I have a thriving private practice as a therapist, had a recovery radio show for over 10years and live to serve my higher power and my family."

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

28 years drugfree, crime free and dedicated to my Higher Power instead of my primal needs. I serve my community and send clients to MARR for help all the time.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Find a way to help support upper management and allow them to begin to groom new mgt. They are taxed and underpaid.

Role:  Client Served & I was involved with the program on an intensive basis for 4 months. I spent the next 8 months in the stepdown (3/4 phase) program.
