A Message from the President:

I’d like to share the mission of the The Mark Houston Recovery Center for Women with you…

“The purpose of The Mark Houston Recovery Center for Women is to provide a safe, secure environment free of alcohol and drugs for a minimum of 30, 60 or 90 days (see Admissions), or longer where the adult woman alcoholic/addict may recover from a hopeless state of mind, body, and spirit, and finally experience permanent sobriety. Our belief is that alcoholism and drug addiction are lifelong, chronic, progressive diseases which demand a way of living that incorporates a lifelong set of specific practices in order to experience permanent recovery. Our commitment to our residents is that we will provide a set of life skills and spiritual practices that will be incorporated and assimilated into their minds and hearts to 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 women who would be recovering from drug and alcohol addiction that was different from current rehab options.

Once I fully realized what I wanted to offer, the Mark Houston Recovery Center for Women moved from being a vision to a reality—a beautiful sober-living environment near Austin, Texas where women can come, to rebuild and reclaim their lives in a gender-specific program with an all-female staff.

We have chosen to have women residents only 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 30, 60 or 90-day recovery program that are essential for constructing a productive life. All of our staff members are in recovery, giving residents a wide range of experience and workable life skill applications that are modeled and taught on a daily basis.

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 for Women online. Drug and alcohol addiction may have controlled what life looked like for you and your loved one, but it does not have to anymore! And, whether you have experienced multiple failed attempts at staying clean and sober (see 12 Month Guarantee), or this is your first attempt at recovery, The Mark Houston Recovery Center for Women is here to guide you to a life of permanent sobriety and abundance. We can help you! Call today at 877.383.4426. We are here to answer any question(s) you might have, and spend time with you when you are ready.

Mark Houston
President
