The 12 Steps
Why Mark Houston Recovery?
No matter what the reason for recovery, when looking for a suitable center where you or a loved one can get suitable recovery is not a simple task. Not only does the place you choose need to have the facilities, knowledge and experience necessary for proper recovery but it also has to make the recovery process something the resident can connect with.
I always sensed both your passion and compassion
“I want to thank you for the work you did with Kyle. I always sensed both your passion and compassion for what you were trying to do with him. I know many others played a big role in getting him to this stage in his recovery so please pass my thanks on to them also. I feel Kyle fully understands this disease and what he has to do to stay sober.“
Thanks, JT
