Taking It To The Next Level:

What works as a follow-up to drug rehab treatment

Mark Houston Recovery provides the next level of recovery care for men who have completed a drug rehabilitation program. After experiencing medically supervised treatment in a licensed rehab program, many men seek an interim step to immerse themselves in an instructive atmosphere of sobriety before returning to their home and work environment. The need to provide just such a sober living environment in the Austin, TX area was the reason for the establishment of our specialized recovery center.

Our goal is to provide a safe and pleasant atmosphere that successfully meets the needs of the man emerging from drug rehab treatment. Founder Mark Houston worked for many years in the field of chemical dependency and has applied that experience and knowledge in originating the highly-successful residential program at Mark Houston Recovery. For a period of ninety days, the adult male alcoholic/addict who desires to recover and accomplish permanent sobriety becomes a welcomed guest and participant in our unique recovery training and self-healing process.

Assimilating the skills of permanent sobriety

Since drug rehabilitation treatment is predominantly medically oriented, often those who complete standard drug rehab programs are left wanting further real-world application of the 12 Step principles and healthy lifestyle information they have been given. Because of this, our center is geared to deliver extensive practical experience in sober living. All elements of our program are respectfully presented in an enjoyable style, employing engaging conversation and real-world lessons in everyday life skills which may have been previously neglected or ignored, such as time and financial management, nutrition, fitness, cleaning and organization, etc. In addition, there are opportunities for supervised fitness training in our gym, and rejuvenating outings in the surrounding countryside as well as entertainment and cultural events in and around Austin.

Following the complete steps to a better future

In general, the aim of our post-drug-rehab recovery program is to instill the abilities and the values that construct a strong structure for future success after drug abuse. More than mere instructional classes, our program includes meaningful insight into leadership, discipline and the proven universal principles of goal setting, vision and intent to facilitate a new and improved way of life for our residents. There are 12 Step meetings daily, and we do the work of ALL12 Steps. This means that during their stay each participant will receive the lasting benefit of a profound spiritual experience --a transformational experience which we personally believe to be the underlying foundation of permanent recovery.
