Looking for a safe place to live in recovery in Maine?

The single most important question to ask is, “Is this house MARR certified, and if not, why not?”

What is MARR?

Maine Association of Recovery Residences (MARR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, an affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR).

We manage the ethical and safety standards for recovery residences in the State of Maine and certify residences based on the standards established by NARR.

We believe all people seeking recovery-based housing should have access to both a safe and accommodating residence where they can live a healthy and rewarding life.

The primary mission of MARR is to promote the ethical and sustainable management of high-quality recovery residences throughout the State of Maine.
