Our Team

Debbie founded GraceWay in August of 2003, as  the first facility in SWGA providing women a non-chemical long-lasting solution to the spiritual malady of addiction.  As a person living in long-term recovery herself, she has a no-nonsense approach to recovery because of her understanding that it is a matter of life or death for the women that enter GraceWay.  Debbie has been quoted to say, “We will not let you fail if you meet us halfway.” The honesty, compassion, authenticity, and support that she gives to each resident further confirms her fighting spirit in the field of addiction recovery.

In a way the field of addiction recovery chose Amy.  As a person living in long-term recovery herself, she knows the pain and isolation that stem from addiction, and also how rewarding a life in recovery can be.  She wants to shed light on the disease of addiction and to remove the stigma and shame that surrounds it.

Marianne is a person living in long-term recovery and works directly with our residents as a Certified Peer Specialist.  As a former resident of GraceWay, Marianne knows that a supportive environment that provides accountability and structure is essential to building and maintaining lasting long-term sobriety.
