Recovery Re-Covers: The Country's Most Personal Addiction Recovery Center Just Got More Personal

Austin, TX (PRWeb) November 29, 2006 -- Mark Houston Recovery, a Texas residential treatment center, announced today the launch of its new website that reflects the center's more personal approach to treating alcohol and drug addition.



The 4 smiling faces of the Mark Houston team, clad in bright red Hawaiian shirts on the company's new homepage, speak volumes about how Mark Houston Recovery Centers differ from the standard clinic environment.

Mark Houston Recovery was heralded as an innovative "outside the box" alcohol and drug recovery center in last month's issue of Treatment Magazine for its personal approach to treatment.

That's because like its new website, the Mark Houston Recovery Center is bright, friendly, and laser focused on its mission--to give adult men suffering from chemical dependency the necessary tools to recreate and reclaim their lives.

Mark Houston, the center's President, grew increasingly unsettled about the number of patients he saw relapse during his 15-year career at some of the nation's finest chemical dependency centers. Houston was keenly aware that adult men needed something beyond the clinical environment to truly achieve a purpose-driven life of permanent sobriety.

That's why the site--both online and the center's physical site--feel more personal than clinical. The 24 bedroom estate, set on 54 green and manicured Texas acres, looks nothing like its more business-like clinical cousin. The wide front porch, peaceful meeting environments, and community kitchen look more like a family mansion than a business.

"However," says Houston, "we're not operating a resort. Every moment of the 3-month program is designed to achieve the center's ultimate goal; to help residents develop the life skills and habits of a sober lifestyle." Houston says that these success habits, such as discipline, financial budgeting, goal setting, leadership, and physical fitness are integral to complete recovery.

"These are skills seldom taught in clinical recovery," Houston explains, "yet essential for many to achieve a permanent state of sobriety, responsibility, and a committed life full of promise."

Houston believes that traditional clinical recovery programs are necessary and play an important role in the recovery process. The Mark Houston Recovery Center is a solution for those who have tried the traditional clinical approach and have relapsed.

"Clinical treatment is not the last resort," says Houston. "Many people need to heal at a deeper level than clinical treatment programs can offer and Mark Houston Recovery provides that solution."

About Mark Houston Recovery: The Mark Houston Recovery Center is a Texas residential treatment center that offers a 90-day program for males designed around the principals of the traditional 12 steps to recovery. The team is passionate about its mission to help men free themselves from addiction and recreate and reclaim their lives. Located outside of Austin Texas, the program is open to any male for whom a longer term continuum of care has been recommended from a residential treatment facility or who has relapse history after a traditional recovery program, and is committed to achieving a sober, more joyful life.
