The following is a brief history of how Mark Houston Recovery/BRC Recovery was started, how Mark Houston came up with the idea to create this recovery center, and how Mark’s vision continues today.
About Mark Houston, Founder of Mark Houston Recovery
About Mark Houston (10.14.1946 – 2.19.2010) Mark D. Houston was more than just a leader and innovator in the field of chemical dependency; he was also someone who had first-hand experience and knew what it was like to struggle with sobriety. An alcoholic for many years of his life, it was only through his personal struggles with drug and alcohol addiction that Mark was able to uncover the realization that permanent sobriety was not only attainable; it could be life-changing. Feeling compelled to share his journey to sobriety with others, in July of 2006, Mark founded the Mark Houston Recovery Center (for Men) just outside of Austin, Texas. Mark’s goal in opening the Men’s Center was to provide a safe and secure environment in which he could lead adult men out of the debilitating grip of drug and alcohol addiction, and into lives of permanent sobriety and abundance. Soon realizing that there was a similar need for women, in October of 2009, Mark opened the doors to The Mark Houston Recovery Center for Women, just outside of Austin, TX.
Carrying on Mark Houston’s Vision Under a New Name- BRC Recovery

Today, BRC Recovery continues Mark Houston’s vision to help countless drug and alcohol addicts (both men and women) reclaim their lives from addiction.
