The Minnesota Association of Resources for Recovery and Chemical Health (MARRCH) is a professional association of chemical health agencies and individuals striving to raise awareness about chemical dependency and the power of recovery. We represent more than 60 agencies and more than 1,650 individuals (Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselers, or LADCs, students, others) with members in every region of Minnesota.
As a collective body, MARRCH works to educate, support and guide individuals and agencies while speaking with a unified voice in public policy venues.
Dr. Nora Volkow, head of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, has revolutionized how science and medicine view addiction: as a disease, not a character defect. Morley Safer reports.
