With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Molly Lucille McCarver, 39, of Nicholson, Ga, who left us on June 13, 2024, after a courageous battle with opioid addiction. Molly was a beacon of love, resilience, and unwavering support to everyone who knew her.

SUCCESS STORIES
“Having people, including probation, tell me they are proud of me and they could see the change in my behavior really hit home. That made me strive to push even harder to do what’s right and made me have more integrity about myself.”
“I feel the most important thing I’ve gained is a clear and focused mind and a healthy and better perspective on myself and the world around me. All that has come from being responsible for myself and thoughtful about taking care of myself and guarding my recovery. I needed a sanctioned lifestyle to reorganize myself. This program has opened my mind up to the aspects of me that need progress and improvement and has filled me with a desire to want to enact those changes and move forward with my life.”
“Before coming to ARC, I had no life. I merely existed mostly in and out of jail or homeless. ARC gave me the tools I needed to regain my sanity to start to heal old wounds and work on rebuilding a relationship with my wife. I hate cliches but I’ve truly learned the skills to deal with life on life’s terms. I owe ARC everything they helped me get my life back. What else could I ask for?”
“I always loved ARC. That’s why I came back instead of doing DDC or something shorter. The biggest help was undoubtedly the staff. I learned skills like how to express myself and ask for help. All these things can carry over in my next phase of life. This new life in recovery has given me countless blessings. I’m getting married, my family trusts me, I have real friends. I have a solid job. A car. These are the big things. I also am happy with who I am today.”
