About us

Who are we?

MARC is the abbreviation for Mpumalanga Addiction Rehabilitation Centres. MARC provides both Inpatient and Outpatient services ranging from Prevention and Early Intervention to Inpatient and Outpatient Treatment Services. Our Outpatient Centre is based in Mkhondo (Piet Retief) with a Satellite office in Embalenhle. The Inpatient Treatment Centre is based in Mkhondo and provides a 12 week Inpatient treatment programme for youth between the Ages of 13 and 17 years. With 23 years of experience in the addiction field we have the necessary knowledge and expertise to support our service users on their road to recovery.

It's in our hearts to secure a healthier community for our children and a better tomorrow for all. Rather than just treating the symptoms of addiction, we aim to be a part of the prevention and treatment process. We hope to help these individuals discover that change is not only possible, but sustainable.

We at MARC believe that Change is Possible!
