Maryland Addiction Recovery Center

What Maryland Addiction Recovery Center does

Maryland Addiction Recovery Center (MARC) is a private, family-owned substance use and mental health treatment organization headquartered in Towson, Maryland (Baltimore County), founded in 2013 by Samuel Bierman and Zachary Snitzer. It operates a community-integrated treatment model that combines clinical care with structured sober living, offering a continuum that spans Extended Care (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP) for both SUD and mental health, Outpatient (OP), sober living homes, Family Program, Alumni Program, Vocational Support, College Success, and Medication-Assisted Treatment using FDA-approved agents such as Suboxone, Naltrexone, and Vivitrol. MARC treats substance use disorders across alcohol, opioids (heroin/fentanyl), cocaine, crack, benzodiazepines, methamphetamines, Adderall, and marijuana, as well as co-occurring mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, bipolar, ADHD, OCD, and personality disorders, using evidence-based modalities (DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Therapy, Creative Arts Therapy, Psychoeducation).

The treatment model is differentiated by length-of-stay: average PHP timelines of 7-9 months versus an industry average of approximately 3 months, with residential sober living woven into the treatment phase. Infrastructure comprises 25,000+ square feet across three clinical suites on the Towson campus, an owned Extended Care Community Living apartment complex, and separate men's and women's sober living homes. Five-year patient and family satisfaction surveys report 87% patient recommendation, 96.73% family recommendation, and 89-93% positive treatment-perception metrics.

MARC's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer combined with professional referrals, supported by a content/SEO engine targeting Mid-Atlantic geographies (Baltimore, D.C., Northern Virginia, Philadelphia, NYC/LI, New Jersey, Delaware), media coverage including Newsweek's 2021 "America's Best Addiction Treatment Centers" and the 2023 Caron Treatment Centers "Partner in Recovery" Honor. Revenue is generated primarily through insurance billing (in-network with Kaiser Permanente, out-of-network with all major commercial insurers) billed monthly across PHP/IOP/OP levels, supplemented by private-pay payment plans and recurring fees for sober living accommodations.
