Marr Women'S Recovery Center

275 West Pike Street, Lawrenceville, Georgia, 30046
Women and men are affected differently by addiction, which is why MARR offers gender-specific and gender-separate residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction. The Women’s Recovery Center offers a safe and structured space for clients to begin the journey of recovery and uncover the core issues that contribute to substance use. In an environment that’s compassionate, nonjudgmental and stripped of distractions, women are able to focus entirely on their recovery and dedicate all of their efforts to getting well.

Facility Highlights

  • PTSD/Trauma
  • Spirituality
  • Codependence/Family Dynamics

Specialization

  • Residential Treatment

    Residential treatment programs provide housing (food and meals) in addition to treatment for substance abuse. Some facilities offer only short-term residential treatment, some offer only long-term treatment and others offer both, ranging from a few days to many months, based on patient needs.
  • 12-Step

    The term “12 Step Program” describes a way to recover from addiction that is based on the model developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. Many drug and alcohol treatment centers base their treatment on 12 steps – the first three of which are situational, the next four addressing the practical issues created by the addiction, followed by two steps focused on making amends for hurting others. Steps 10 and 11 involve a deeper examination of the previous steps and the final step is focused on helping others avoid and recover from addiction.

Terrible experience. The housing is filthy and run down. They limit your budget so severely that you can’t afford to buy nutritious food. It’s impossible to exercise if you can’t find a “buddy” to accompany you. There are ridiculous rules that may change on a whim. The therapy and group sessions are designed for people who are so messed up, they need to learn the very basics of how to function in the real world. Many of the other clients were court mandated, the type of people you might encounter in prison. It was really difficult trying to relate to prostitutes, criminals, and the ultimate dregs of society. There is a general lack of wholistic care. Unless you are a hopeless trainwreck without a shred of dignity or resources, I recommend seeking treatment in a more respectable setting.

My recovery journey began at Marr, and I could not be more thankful. From the moment I walked through the doors for my evaluation, until the day I completed the program, I was treated with respect. I was shown genuine compassion and kindness, even on my hardest days. MARR was able to address my mental health concerns, my professional licensure issues, and provide the therapy needed to deal with my history of trauma. The community model of care was so pivotal in my recovery, after years of isolation due to my addiction. I can say without hesitation that MARR saved my life.

    This facility is run like a business. Some of the counselors play mind games and they don’t care about your general well-being; they enjoy the power trip. One counselor saw me on my way out and blatantly ignored me without even having the common courtesy of saying a simple “goodbye.” It’s a business, not a caring facility

    Activity and therapy were good...Too much freedom It's an overall good facility. Anyone who goes should stay a year or more.
