Residential Addiction Treatment Center for Men in Austin, TX
Inpatient rehab, also known as residential treatment, is an intensive form of addiction treatment where people reside full-time at a treatment facility.[1] This immersive approach provides a structured, supportive environment free from the triggers and temptations of everyday life, allowing patients to focus entirely on their recovery.
In an inpatient setting, patients receive round-the-clock care and supervision from a team of medical professionals, therapists, and addiction specialists.[2] The program typically includes a combination of individual counseling, group therapy sessions, medical care, and holistic treatments tailored to each person’s needs.
Inpatient rehab usually lasts anywhere from 28 days to several months, depending on the severity of the addiction and the individual’s progress. During this time, patients engage in a rigorous daily schedule of therapeutic activities, educational sessions, and skill-building exercises.
One key benefit of inpatient rehab is the peer support environment it helps create. Living alongside others facing similar challenges creates a sense of community and shared purpose, which can be incredibly beneficial for recovery.
Inpatient rehab typically lasts 30-90 days, though at The Last Resort, we offer flexible programs based on individual needs and progress. This gives each man the time and support needed for meaningful, lasting recovery.
Austin offers unique advantages for men seeking recovery. As a city known for its vibrant recovery community, access to nature, and balance of urban resources with natural serenity, Austin provides an ideal backdrop for healing.
Benefits of choosing Austin for your recovery journey include:
At The Last Resort’s Austin location, we leverage these regional benefits while providing a secluded sanctuary just outside the city in Smithville, giving you the perfect balance of community connection and peaceful reflection.

Residential treatment has been shown to significantly improve outcomes in several key areas:[6]
Patients often achieve longer periods of abstinence and show decreased substance use following residential treatment.
Many individuals experience improvements in co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. Our dual diagnosis approach addresses both addiction and mental health simultaneously.
Residential care helps patients develop better interpersonal skills and rebuild relationships damaged by addiction. Our community-based approach and family program create the foundation for healed relationships.
