Men’s PHP in Austin | Highly Structured Outpatient Treatment
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the logical next step when you’ve successfully moved beyond inpatient treatment requirements. Now, you’re ready to begin applying yourself anew to life, family, work, and lifelong goals, but you’re not prepared to operate without the daily structure and support of a residential substance use treatment program.
The PHP level of care is intensive outpatient treatment on a daily schedule that allows you to maintain connection, community, and support while still showing up at home, work, or school. This program offers full-time care without the requirement of on-site living and helps you continue to solidify recovery foundations.
The scope of treatment changes as you progress on your recovery journey. Hosted at our Austin-based clinical campus, The Last Resort’s dual diagnosis PHP offers the same master-level treatment quality and access to our signature Equine-Assisted Therapy at the ranch.
Partial hospitalization programs blend structured therapy modalities, daily support, and peer involvement to identify and address alcohol and substance use disorder challenges.[1] These addiction treatment programs offer intensive care from a multidisciplinary team, a recovery community where you can engage, coping skill development, and opportunities to address drug and alcohol concerns and any underlying mental health issues from a holistic perspective.
At The Last Resort, our men’s substance use and mental health PHP runs for five hours a day, five days a week. This ensures you or your loved one receives comprehensive support tailored to your specific needs that meets you where you are. This level of care is considered full-time treatment but doesn’t require on-site residency.
Participants can live in sober living houses or at home while attending daily treatment. You will also continue access to our wide range of holistic methods, including Yoga Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Equine-Assisted Therapy, as determined by your treatment program.
The efficacy of partial hospitalization is similar to inpatient recovery and provides many of the same benefits.[2] One study recorded that those who participated in PHP programs showed lower hospitalization rates (by 220%) and fewer days in the hospital (by 440%).[3]
Not everyone needs inpatient care, nor can everyone cover any costs not covered by insurance. Our partial hospitalization program in Austin bridges the gap between inpatient levels of care and the freedom and flexibility you need to maintain your life and obligations outside treatment—with a more affordable price tag.

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?
Following a comprehensive assessment and whole-person evaluation, we will determine the best level of care for you and create a customized treatment plan. Every intervention will be tailored to your unique needs and may include the following signature methods
Our equine program is a trauma-informed guided therapy that offers a hands-on approach to healing where you will work with our gentle horses to improve communication, empathy, resilience, and more.
CBT is based on the idea that thoughts fuel feelings and feelings fuel actions. By identifying harmful thought patterns and the feelings and actions they lead to, you can begin to formulate healthier patterns.
Group therapy is an essential core framework of any PHP. Peer support and group recovery increase your investment in your recovery and give you a safe space to develop coping skills, share your experiences, learn from others, and give back.
The role of the family in addiction recovery is crucial. We have integrated Family Therapy and family addiction counseling in every level of care to help you and your family members improve conflict resolution and communication and build a stronger bond.
The 12-step framework has long been established as a beneficial tool in recovery. Here, you can build new sober relationships, get access to sober events, serve your community, and adhere to a proven structure.
Every treatment plan is different and may not include all modalities. However, the following interventions are also part of our programming

The length of our Austin PHP varies based on individual needs, typically ranging from 4-8 weeks. Your treatment team will regularly assess your progress and make recommendations for your continued care.
PHP provides intensive therapeutic care during the day while allowing clients to return home or to a sober living environment in the evenings. Residential treatment involves 24/7 care with overnight stays at our facility. PHP offers more independence while still providing structured, comprehensive treatment.
The overall goal is to bridge the gap between inpatient care and part-time care. A PHP program helps you continue the progress you made in residential rehab while still pushing yourself to greater independence and self-efficacy.
Due to the intensive nature of the program (30 hours per week), most clients find it difficult to maintain work or school commitments during PHP treatment. However, our evening schedule does allow for limited part-time commitments and family responsibilities.
Most clients transition to our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) after completing PHP. This provides continued support while allowing for more independence and reintegration into daily life in the Austin community.
Most clients live in our sober living homes during PHP, which allows for easy coordination of transportation to and from our outpatient center. We work with each man to find solutions based on individual needs. Please discuss any transportation needs with our admissions team.
