1. A Message From Mark Houston:
I’d like to share the mission of Mark
Houston Recovery with you…

2. -1-
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.

3. -2-
I have worked in the field of chemical dependency since 1991
for two of the finest treatment drug rehab center 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.

4. -3-
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.

5. -4-
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.
