REQUIREMENTS

Founded in 1975, MARR (Metro Atlanta Recovery Residences) is a nonprofit addiction treatment organization based in Doraville, Georgia. For five decades, we've helped men and women build lasting recovery through gender-specific programs that combine evidence-based clinical care with a 12-Step foundation and a whole-person approach to healing: physical, mental, and spiritual.

MARR offers a full continuum of care, including residential, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and commuter programs, along with a strong alumni community that supports clients long after treatment ends. We are accredited by The Joint Commission and fully licensed by the State of Georgia.

Our team includes clinicians, counselors, medical staff, admissions and outreach professionals, and support staff who share one goal: giving people and families affected by addiction a real chance at a new life. We value accountability, respect, and compassion, both in how we treat clients and in how we treat each other. If you want work that matters and a team that shows up for one another, we'd love to meet you.
