BusinessRadioX®'s Testing the Experts Features MARR, Inc.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 10, 2014 -- On February 7, 2014, co-hosts Wes Warrington and Tracy Youngblood-McDaniel of BusinessRadioX®'s Testing the Experts sat down in the Gwinnett studio with Bill Anderson from MARR, Inc. to talk about long-term residential treatment for addiction.
Bill Anderson is the Director of Business Development for MARR, Inc., a private, non-profit organization established in 1975 to provide long-term residential treatment to men and women affected by addiction. MARR is dedicated to bringing lasting recovery through high-quality, gender-specific, drug and alcohol treatment programs. During Anderson’s tenure at MARR, he has held the positions of House Manager, Primary Therapist at the Men’s Recovery Center, Group Leader at the Women’s Recovery Center, and Director of Admissions. Anderson also conducts educational lectures for the Family Recovery Center and group therapy sessions at the Women’s Center. He provides both individual counseling and couples counseling for families struggling with addiction.
According to Anderson, "Twenty-four million Americans struggle with chemical dependency. Drug and alcohol abuse can lead to addiction which, if left untreated, can lead to death." MARR's long-term residential programs are centered on the therapeutic community model. Explained Anderson, "For many individuals who struggle with chemical dependency, professional help is necessary to begin their journey into long-term recovery." MARR's therapeutic community model includes individual and group therapy, educational groups, medical care, a staff of licensed and certified counselors, 12-Step work and meetings, as well as varying levels of family involvement.
"An important aspect of the therapeutic process is facilitated through contracts," said Anderson, adding, "As members of the community, clients develop growth goals and concrete goals for themselves." Put together in the form of a contract, these objectives are presented to the community to establish accountability and support. Community members become responsible to the other members of their group and help them work toward their goals.
