The 12 Steps
REAL RECOVERY REAL PEOPLE
A Different Kind of Drug and Alcohol Recovery Center in Texas
A certain percentage of men will relapse following completion of a residential clinical treatment program only to feel an even more debilitating sense of failure regarding their alcoholism and drug addiction. It is at this point that these men and their families ask themselves: "What can I do to truly recover from my alcoholism and drug addiction? What relapse prevention tools are available to me following a relapse after completing treatment?"
Unfortunately, many of these men and the people in their lives begin to believe that there is no hope for a life without addiction. The Mark Houston Drug and Alcohol Recovery Center offers that hope. Our unique Texas alcohol and drug rehab program, which combines the elements of a longer length of stay (minimum 90 days), a gender specific (males only) environment, 4 ranch-style residential homes set on 70 beautiful acres, and a staff that models recovery at the highest levels, can be your chance for a life of permanent sobriety.
We believe that alcoholics and drug addicts can be taught how to live a sober, responsible life that is characterized by permanent sobriety, self respect and authenticity
By regaining strength in your body through healthy exercise and proper diet, you will learn how to create energy from the inside out rather than take it from other sources like drugs, alcohol, anger, and control. You will learn life skills such as financial sanity, nutrition, and disciplined meditation that lead to a permanent sense of inner peace.
Many people require the longer continuum of care that the Mark Houston Drug and Alcohol Recovery Center provides. All too often, men leave a residential treatment center and return to the same environments that were a part of their active alcoholism and drug addiction history without having developed the inner resources and life skills necessary to maintain their sobriety.

If this will be your first experience in an alcohol and drug rehab, you can reduce your chances of relapse by committing to a 90 day program rather than a standard 30 day program.
Our drug and alcohol rehab program is unique in a number of ways that help men to achieve permanent sobriety. The first is our longer continuum of care (90 days) compared with most drug and alcohol rehab programs. It takes the body time to become completely free of drugs and alcohol. Detoxification of the mind and body occurs at about that same time that a traditional drug and alcohol rehab program ends. Afterward, men are then sent back into their old environments without proper coping strategies and without the inner resources and support systems to maintain permanent recovery and relapse prevention.
The Mark Houston Drug and Alcohol rehab program picks up where treatment centers leave off for those who require a longer continuum of care. With our 90 day program, residents have the opportunity to work all of the steps and develop the life skills and daily practices necessary to prevent relapse in safe, secure, fun, family-style ranch homes set on 70 acres of serene Texas landscape.
The 12 step program is by far the most widely accepted and most effective methodology used in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Texas and throughout the United States. However, the process of working through these steps requires follow-through that many drug and alcohol treatment facilities can not provide due to their shorter length of stay.
From our experience, the three most critical steps to implement into your daily schedule once after working steps 1-9, are steps 10 (continuing to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitting it), step 11 (seeking through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understand Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out), and step 12 (practicing these principals in all our affairs and being of service to others).
These three critical steps require continuous practice and development. They require actual living of the steps rather than just a cognitive knowledge of the steps. It is through the practice and use of steps ten and eleven that the alcoholic/addict has the inner resources to experience life head-on without fear and anxiety and with Power.
