Description of the MRC Program: MRC’s mission is to provide treatment, education and prevention both to our participants and to the larger community. Our efforts are validated as individuals choose recovery and are able to rebuild relationships with their families and become better dads, husbands and sons. MRC embraces a culture of celebration and recovery. Our participants and alumni are honored and celebrate recovery in a multitude of ways. Through coming to our annual block party, picnics, alumni celebration, or playing on our alumni clean and sober softball team, individuals discover how to celebrate life without the use of substances.
