MARA International is the organization behind Medication-Assisted Recovery Anonymous (MARA), a recovery community that supports people using prescribed medication to treat substance use disorders. Its approach recognizes medication-assisted treatment as an evidence-based part of recovery and offers a welcoming, judgment-free space where people’s treatment choices and lived experiences are respected. MARA describes recovery as a process of improving health and wellness, living a self-directed life, and building stability and purpose.

The organization provides resources for individuals, peer groups, and professionals in treatment settings. Its website helps visitors find in-person and online meetings, with listings organized by location, and offers meeting materials, including the MARA Preamble and Closing. MARA also publishes a book and workbook, Medication-Assisted Recovery Anonymous: If You’re Like Me, presenting a structured, progressive yet flexible framework for recovery. The materials can be used for personal wellness or in professional settings, and bulk book orders are available by contacting the organization. Groups can submit their meeting details for inclusion in MARA’s listings, connecting more people with supportive recovery communities.
