Understanding Heroin Addiction

Heroin addiction is one of the most challenging forms of substance use disorder, affecting individuals from all walks of life [1]. This powerful opioid creates an intense euphoria while numbing physical and emotional pain, making it extraordinarily addictive and difficult to overcome without professional help.

Many individuals seeking treatment at The Last Resort Recovery Center for heroin addiction have:

  • Started with prescription painkillers before transitioning to heroin 
  • Developed a dependency after just a few uses 
  • Attempted to quit multiple times on their own without success 
  • Experienced significant life consequences, including relationship problems, job loss, and legal issues 
  • Used heroin to self-medicate underlying mental health conditions or trauma [2]

Whether your heroin use began recently or has been ongoing for years, our comprehensive treatment programs provide the medical support, therapy, and holistic healing needed to break free from addiction and reclaim control of your life.

What Makes The Last Resort Recovery Center Different?

Not all heroin rehab programs are the same. Many men seeking treatment have already tried to quit on their own or have cycled through short-term programs that didn’t provide the lasting change they needed.

At The Last Resort Recovery Center, we understand that breaking free from heroin addiction requires more than just willpower—it requires a structured, supportive environment that gives men the tools to reclaim their lives.

01 A Comfortable and Medically Supervised Detox

One of the most prominent fears men face when considering treatment for heroin addiction is withdrawal. The thought of enduring intense physical symptoms—muscle pain, nausea, insomnia, and powerful cravings—often keeps people from taking the first step.

At The Last Resort, we offer a medically supervised detox program designed to make the withdrawal process as comfortable and manageable as possible. With around-the-clock care and, when appropriate, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), our detox program helps ease withdrawal symptoms so clients can begin healing with a clear mind and

The peaceful natural surroundings, comfortable accommodations, and thoughtfully designed therapeutic spaces create an atmosphere conducive to deep healing and personal transformation. This sanctuary-like setting allows men to build a solid foundation for long-term recovery from heroin addiction.

We understand that men face unique challenges in addiction recovery. Our gender-specific approach addresses these distinct needs, creating a brotherhood of support where men can be authentic, vulnerable, and accountable with one another.

At The Last Resort, men don’t just get clean. They rebuild confidence, self-discipline, and a sense of purpose. Through structured daily routines, peer support, and therapies tailored specifically for men, clients develop the resilience needed to stay sober long-term.

We don’t just help you get sober from heroin—we prepare you for long-term success. Our continuum of care includes medical detox, residential rehab, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization (PHP), and aftercare services to ensure lasting sobriety.

Recovery from heroin addiction is about more than abstinence—it’s about creating a fulfilling life that makes the struggle worthwhile. Through our comprehensive programming, men develop the skills, insights, and resilience needed to build a meaningful, purpose-driven life free from heroin dependency.

We don’t just help you get sober—we prepare you for long-term success. Our continuum of care includes medical detox, residential rehab, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization (PHP), and aftercare services to ensure lasting sobriety.

Levels of Care for Heroin Addiction Treatment
in Austin, Texas

Overcoming heroin addiction requires a comprehensive and structured approach. At The Last Resort, we provide a full spectrum of care, from detox to long-term support.

Heroin Detoxification (Detox)

Heroin withdrawal can be intensely uncomfortable and potentially dangerous without proper medical supervision. Our medically managed detox program provides 24/7 monitoring, medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, and a safe, controlled environment to ease withdrawal symptoms. Our compassionate staff ensures clients receive the physical and emotional support needed during this critical first phase of recovery.

Residential Rehab for Heroin Addiction

Men struggling with heroin addiction often need time away from their usual environment to achieve true recovery. Our residential treatment program provides a structured, immersive healing experience on our 55-acre ranch. Through daily therapy, group sessions, and holistic treatments, clients develop the skills and resilience needed for long-term sobriety while addressing the root causes of their heroin use.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

For those who have completed residential rehab but still require a high level of care, PHP offers intensive therapy, medical support, and structured daily interventions without overnight stays. This program helps clients continue their recovery journey while gradually reintegrating into their daily lives, providing a supportive bridge between residential treatment and more independent living.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP allows men to transition back to daily responsibilities while still receiving structured therapy and relapse prevention support. Our Austin outpatient campus provides easy access to continued care after residential treatment, with flexible scheduling that accommodates work, education, and family commitments while maintaining accountability in recovery.

Aftercare & Alumni Support

Long-term recovery from heroin addiction requires ongoing support. Our aftercare program provides peer mentorship, sober community events, and relapse prevention strategies to help men stay connected and accountable. Our strong alumni network offers continuing encouragement, practical guidance, and living proof that sustained recovery from heroin addiction is possible.

Sober Living Homes in Austin

For men seeking a structured, supportive environment post-rehab, our sober living homes offer peer accountability, daily structure, and a drug-free community to maintain long-term sobriety. These transitional living environments provide a crucial middle ground between residential treatment and independent living, allowing clients to practice their recovery skills in a real-world setting with appropriate support.

Family Program

Heroin addiction doesn't just affect the individual—it impacts the entire family. Our family program educates loved ones on addiction, helps rebuild trust, and provides support for healthy relationships during recovery. Through family therapy, educational workshops, and ongoing resources, we help heal the family system while enhancing the client's chance of sustained recovery.

Outpatient Rehab & Continuing Care for Lasting Recovery

Getting sober from heroin is just the beginning. Staying sober takes work, but you don’t have to do it alone. The Last Resort Recovery Center provides long-term support, ensuring that every man who completes our program has the tools, strategies, and community needed to maintain lasting recovery.

Our continuing care and outpatient programs include:

Our continuum of care includes options like partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) that allow for more flexibility. Additionally, we specialize in helping professionals recover from addiction. We can help you navigate conversations with employers, arrange for FMLA if applicable, and develop strategies for managing family responsibilities during treatment.

Yes, when medically appropriate. While we prioritize abstinence-based recovery, we recognize that certain medications can ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent cravings during the early stages of treatment. Our medical team evaluates each client individually to determine whether MAT is the right approach and integrates it into a comprehensive recovery plan that includes therapy, lifestyle changes, and long-term relapse prevention strategies.

The duration of treatment varies based on individual needs and progress. Our residential program length varies based on factors like addiction severity, previous treatment history, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Following residential treatment, we recommend a step-down approach through our continuum of care, which may include PHP, IOP, and ongoing aftercare support. Recovery is a journey, not a destination, and we’re committed to supporting you for as long as needed.
