Don't Give Up; If You've Relapsed There Are Alternatives to the Clinical Drug Addiction Treatment Center The Mark Houston Recovery Center is different from a clinical drug addiction treatment center in several important ways. Where a drug addiction treatment center focuses on the clinical aspect of recovery, the Mark Houston Recovery Center is centered on a spiritual program of action combined with nutrition, physical exercise, goal setting, financial sanity, and learning specific daily practices necessary to achieving permanent sobriety. Recovery Beyond the Traditional Drug Addiction Treatment CenterEach one of our residents has participated in a clinical drug addiction treatment center program at least once, only to return to a toxic and unsatisfying life of addiction. Most of our residents have had extensive experience with relapse and are seeking relapse prevention methods that will finally work for them.These men find themselves returning to the familiar residential treatment center time and again, hearing the same messages, and yet becoming more frustrated, detached, and hostile toward those messages in an attempt to mask the resentment of failure. Clinically based drug addiction treatment center programs were designed to detox patients and introduce them to the path of recovery; they have never pretended to be the end-all program. Quite often, these fine drug addiction treatment programs have recommended a longer length of stay to their patients knowing full well that some men faced relapse without the added time necessary to assimilate the recovery tools necessary to prevent relapse. Unfortunately, many men refuse to follow that recommendation because of their own denial about the severity of their addiction. We require that every resident have graduated from a traditional drug addiction treatment center. For many people, breaking free of the clutches of addiction requires a longer length of stay in order to bring about the inner healing needed to live a life of permanent sobriety. Our 90 day continuum of care allows more time in a safe and structured environment so that these men can discover and begin to practice the necessary daily disciplines of a successful recovered alcoholic or addict. Why the Mark Houston Recovery Center is DifferentBecause we offer a longer continuum of care than a traditional drug addiction treatment center, and because we are not restricted by state curriculum guidelines, we can delve further into the practice of the disciplines necessary to achieve permanent sobriety.From the context of our serene, home-style Texas ranch, men rejuvenate their bodies through exercise and nutrition, learning again what it feels like to be a healthy, vibrant man. These habits take time to solidify as the body eventually rids itself of toxins and learns to become healthy once again. Throughout our 3 month program, men have the opportunity to live out the spiritual disciplines of the 10th and 11th steps of the 12-step program. We practice goal setting and financial sanity. We practice issues of control, both self control and letting go of the desire to control external situations. Personal Experience of Addiction Recovery Makes the DifferenceHere at the Mark Houston Recovery Center, we speak from experience. Mark has a saying, “I’m not interested in your opinion on an experience you’ve never had.” We have personally lived through the insanity of addiction and understand what is required to replace the irrational thoughts that allow men to justify a life of addiction with thoughts of a more authentic and purpose-driven life.Recovery is a process of experiences. That process takes time and it involves a series of broken promises, failures, sadness, guilt, loneliness, pain, and eventually joy and boundless fulfillment. It is our longer continuum of care beyond that of a clinical drug addiction treatment center that allows us to take men on this journey within a safe and supportive environment.
