I’d like to share the mission of Mark Houston Recovery with you…
The purpose of the Mark Houston Recovery Center is to provide a safe, secure environment free of alcohol and drugs for the adult alcoholic/addict who wishes to recover and experience permanent sobriety. Our belief is that alcoholism and drug addiction are lifelong, chronic, progressive diseases which demand a lifelong set of practices as a way of living if we are to experience permanent recovery. Our commitment to our residents is this: we will provide a set of life skills and spiritual practices which will be incorporated and assimilated into their minds and hearts and allow them to recreate and reclaim their lives.
I have worked in the field of chemical dependency since 1991 for two of the finest treatment centers in the country. During this time period I continually asked myself what it is that I wanted to offer to adults in their lifelong recovery process.
Once I fully realized what I wanted to offer, the Mark Houston Recovery Center moved from being a vision to a reality—a beautiful sober-living environment near Austin, Texas where men and women can come, to rebuild and reclaim their lives.
We have chosen to utilize two completely different and stand-alone facilities since gender-specific sober living environments provide quicker assimilation of the tools necessary for permanent recovery. We believe our residents can accomplish many things during their stay with us essential for constructing a productive life. All our staff are in recovery, giving residents a wide range of experience and workable life skill applications.
Our objective is to model the realization that we are physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual beings. We demonstrate how to integrate all four of these elements to experience the sense of inner peace necessary to achieve permanent recovery, happiness, and joy in daily living.
Thank you for visiting the Mark Houston Recovery Center online. We are here to answer your questions and spend time with you in person when you are ready.

I am so excited about what I read in your site. I am the one who wrote in about my friend. You are exactly what I would want out of a recovery center if I needed one. I am praying that my friend may be able to come take it in. I believe in miricles and that is what we need to get this done. I hope you will find it in your heart to minister to my friend. Not everyone has the money to be able to take in something like your program. thank you for reading this and taking it to prayer.
