Men’s Outpatient Rehab For Ongoing Treatment, Support, and Community
Inpatient treatment is essential for the earliest stages of recovery and sobriety. You’ve gained measurable independence and self-efficacy, but your journey is far from over. You still need treatment, ongoing support, and community connection to maintain your focus and success.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) offer the perfect balance of blending rehab with your daily routines. This level of care is ideal for post-residential treatment or for those with mild to moderate alcohol or substance use disorders. With the built-in flexibility, you will benefit from individual and group therapy sessions throughout the week while still showing up for work, family, or academic obligations.
At The Last Resort, our intensive outpatient rehab is hosted on our Austin clinical campus right in the heart of the city. You can live in sober living houses or at home, depending on what’s best for you.
Here, you will participate in the same elite-level addiction treatment but in a scope that suits your daily activities. You will also still have access to our holistic and alternative interventions, including Equine-Assisted Therapy at The Last Resort Ranch, to continue enriching the treatment experience.
An IOP establishes a reliable support system for relapse prevention, coping skill training, and continued peer support.[1] Studies in the addiction treatment field reveal that IOP participants reported measurable reductions in drug or alcohol use after treatment compared to the baseline of when their recovery journey first began.[2]
At The Last Resort, each client will benefit from at least ten hours a week of treatment, therapy, counseling, and support without having to move into an inpatient facility. Despite its outpatient framework, our intensive outpatient program is a structured approach to sustained recovery and a lifetime of sobriety. Come and continue your healing with outpatient services at our modern and comfortable clinical location in Austin.
An IOP program on its own doesn’t represent the level of care that is needed when addressing deep-rooted substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. This treatment program has been documented to be more effective as part of a full continuum of care that extends from inpatient detox to aftercare.[3]
Additionally, other studies reveal lower rates of binge drinking and substance use, as well as reduced depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms in IOP participants—which also resulted in high treatment program retention rates (91%).[4]
At The Last Resort, we understand that addiction rarely exists in isolation. Many men struggling with substance use also face underlying mental health treatment needs, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. This combination, known as dual diagnosis, requires an integrated approach that treats both conditions simultaneously to ensure long-term recovery and stability.
Our intensive outpatient treatment program in Austin is designed to help men address both dependency and mental health challenges through a structured, evidence-based approach. Whether you’re managing withdrawal symptoms, developing coping strategies, or seeking medication management to stabilize mood disorders, our team is here to provide compassionate, comprehensive care at every stage of your healing journey.

We’re excited to share the positive experiences of our other community members, many of whom were where you are today – overwhelmed and uncertain. These are their stories. What will yours be?
Before you are admitted, every client will be assessed and evaluated to determine the most effective approach to care. An individualized treatment plan will be devised to ensure your success and the best possible outcome. For the IOP program, these are some of our signature modalities
EAT is a guided approach to healing that empowers you to be directly involved in your healing. Working with one of our horses, we will skillfully promote mental health, physical health, resilience, trauma response, communication skills, and healing.
This modality takes a hands-on approach to healing using activities, tools, and expressive outlets to help process and address harmful patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a gold-standard approach to addiction treatment that helps you identify harmful thought patterns and forge healthier ones.
Our IOP integrates DBT to help men manage emotions, reduce stress, and improve relationships. This therapy teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation, supporting both addiction recovery and mental well-being.
Individual counseling at The Last Resort provides one-on-one support to address both addiction and mental health challenges. Clients develop coping strategies through personalized sessions, gain self-awareness, and work toward lasting recovery.
Peer support and group therapy are essential for recovery, allowing you to practice coping skills, learn from others, and openly share your experiences.
Our family program is a core component of how we facilitate our treatment programs. Family Therapy and addiction counseling help you and your family members build better relationships, improve communication, resolve family conflict, and more.
Our IOP program is where the rubber truly meets the road. You have learned much but must continue developing crucial skills for life, recovery, sobriety, and relapse prevention.
These support group programs are highly valuable outlets where you can cultivate relationships within a sober community, follow a structured approach to ongoing healing, participate in sober events, help others in their recovery, and more.
Not every modality is appropriate for the IOP level of care, but the following interventions may still be included on a case-by-case basis
At The Last Resort, recovery is about more than just abstinence—it’s about overall well-being. Our IOP incorporates fitness therapy, yoga, equine-assisted therapy, and experiential treatments to help clients heal on all levels—physically, mentally, and emotionally. These holistic approaches promote resilience, stress reduction, and self-awareness, enhancing each client’s long-term recovery journey.
One of the biggest advantages of an intensive outpatient program is the ability to continue treatment while maintaining responsibilities at home, work, or school. Our IOP in Austin is structured to help men navigate their daily life while staying committed to their recovery. We provide time management strategies, stress-reduction techniques, and life skills training to ensure clients can balance sobriety with everyday obligations.
If you or your loved one are struggling with substance use after partial hospitalization programs or inpatient care, don’t give up hope. Healing is a lifelong marathon, not a sprint. It’s okay to continue seeking help to better yourself, your life, and your potential.
At The Last Resort, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment and recovery. We’re committed to helping you align your treatment with your goals. You or your loved one will receive a customized treatment plan designed specifically for your unique needs.

It could also be an escalation level of care for someone in outpatient treatment who needs additional support.
