MARR Women's Recovery Center

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

Staff credentials were strong. Lack of freedom and integration with society, no cell phones, computers, no outside contact Not cost effective, very strict rules, good staff, good accommodations.

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