Massachusetts Access to Recovery (ATR) is a 6-month program designed for individuals who have a substance use disorder (SUD), and who are seeking support with their recovery. ATR enables participants to create a recovery plan unique to their own needs and choose from a wide range of recovery support services. Both professionals and peers provide services through a variety of community organizations.
