Massachusetts Access to Recovery (ATR) is a 6-month program for individuals who have a substance use disorder (SUD) and are seeking to change their lives. ATR empowers participants to create a recovery plan unique to their specific needs and connects them to various recovery support services for basic needs, recovery coaching, and job training. We partner with select community organizations and agencies to ensure our participants receive quality care.
