Women's Recovery Center
Bring Hope Back
Traditions Recovery Center for Women (TRC), located in Lawrenceville, Ga., provides a safe, comfortable setting for adult women with a primary diagnosis of substance use disorder (SUD) to address gender-specific issues. We operate from a “whole-person” perspective, prioritizing the well-being of the individual rather than merely addressing symptoms. Research has shown that women face more obstacles than men when seeking addiction treatment and are less likely to follow through with the admissions process. That’s why our gender-separate treatment program is essential to what we offer.
Our proven treatment model includes specialized groups, evidence-based modalities, and a Disordered Eating (DE) Program for those who are clinically appropriate. We are committed to providing high-quality care for women that fosters openness and a sense of community.

Lifelong Recovery Starts Here
“Willingness, honesty and open-mindedness are the essentials of recovery (Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 568).” These principles provide hope to those struggling with substance use disorder. All aspects of a person’s life including mental, physical and spiritual well-being, are addressed during treatment at MARR. Lasting recovery is our primary goal. As women go through the addiction recovery process, other core issues are often identified. Although MARR’s primary focus is the treatment of substance use disorder, we also address underlying issues and co-occurring disorders through the use of clinically proven, evidence-based treatment. Such treatment includes:- A personalized treatment plan, including an assigned primary therapist and a comprehensive treatment team
- A board-certified, licensed psychiatrist; master’s level clinicians; certified addiction counselors, family therapists; and a top-rated nursing staff
- Spiritual guidance deeply rooted in our gender-specific addiction treatment

MARR Community
Community living is at the heart of our treatment approach, fostering a supportive environment where clients enjoy comfortable accommodations with peers and on-site residential staff. During their time in treatment, clients focus on a work/life balance, learn how to nurture relationships and establish boundaries, and engage in activities and groups. Following treatment completion, individuals receive ongoing aftercare services and alumni support.
Our extensive alumni community offers various opportunities throughout the year to participate in events, workshops, and networking opportunities aimed at fostering continued growth, connection and support. We invite our alumni to partake in Renewal Week, a complimentary program offered once a year to alumni at no additional cost. To qualify, participants must have sustained their recovery for a minimum of six months and are free to select a week that aligns with their schedule.
