- 04/03/09 - ATIN - Mark Houston Recovery Centers, the hugely successful center that, on the private, for-profit side of the treatment business, created the "non-clinical" recovery retreat sector, is offering for the first time a 30-day program, pulling back from the center's previous firm insistsence that all admissions be for at least 90-days.

Charging $15K for the new 30-day offering, Mark Houston center said the program will allow "more flexibility" for those whose "life situations dictate" how long they can stay in treatment.  CEO Mark Houston, who founded the 40 plus bed center on 54 acres in the Texas Hill Country outside of Austin a little over three years ago, was not immediately available for comment on why his center was backing away from its previous very strong insistence on keeping all admissions at least 90-days, a rule that came from Houston's own very fim belief, based on strong empirical evidence, that long treatment stays resulted in much better outcomes.
