join-caarr-todayAt this time, we are inviting anyone who is interested in the field of recovery and rehabilitation to join our organization. This will give you direct access to our lobbyist, updates on legislation that will affect us, and those opposed to having legal and equitable housing opportunities for people in recovery that have been moving across our state from Newport Beach to Marin. We are an organization with more than 30 years of experience; and one that will stand up for the rights of the recovery community at large.
