Understanding Opiate & Opioid Addiction

Opioid addiction has become one of the most widespread public health crises in the United States, affecting men from all walks of life. Many individuals start with prescription painkillers but may develop a dependence that leads to more potent, dangerous opioids like fentanyl or heroin.

Many individuals seeking treatment at The Last Resort Recovery Center have struggled with:

  • Prescription painkiller addiction (OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, Dilaudid)
  • Heroin addiction (often after prescription opioid misuse)
  • Synthetic opioid addiction (fentanyl, carfentanil)
  • Polysubstance abuse (mixing opioids with other substances like alcohol or benzodiazepines)

Whether you or a loved one is struggling with prescription painkillers, heroin, or synthetic opioids, our comprehensive treatment programs provide the medical support, therapy, and holistic healing needed to break free from substance use disorder and regain control of your life.

What Makes The Last Resort Recovery Center Different?

Not all rehab programs are the same. Many men seeking treatment for opioid addiction 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 opioid 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 opioid addiction is withdrawal. The thought of going through days of pain, anxiety, and cravings often keeps people from taking the first step.

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

Opioid addiction often thrives in environments filled with stress, toxic relationships, or easy access to substances. That’s why a change in surroundings is crucial for recovery. The Last Resort provides a secluded, 55-acre ranch in Smithville, TX, where men can step away from the distractions and triggers of daily life. This setting fosters introspection, allowing men to focus on healing while surrounded by nature.

At the same time, recovery doesn’t end after residential treatment. Our outpatient programs in South Austin offer continued support, helping men transition back into daily life while staying connected to a strong recovery community.

Opioid addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions affect men in unique ways. Many struggle with deeply rooted trauma, unprocessed emotions, or the pressure to appear strong even when they feel completely out of control. Our men’s-only rehab program provides a space where clients can be honest about their struggles without judgment. The environment fosters brotherhood, accountability, and transformation—three things that are often missing when men try to recover on their own.

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.

Recovery isn’t just about getting off opioids—it’s about learning how to live without them. Many men use opioids as a way to numb emotional pain, avoid stress, or escape from underlying mental health issues. Simply stopping drug use doesn’t solve the deeper issues that led to addiction in the first place.

That’s why we integrate a comprehensive, whole-person approach to treatment. Our program blends evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care with holistic approaches such as equine-assisted therapy, experiential therapy, and fitness therapy. We help men develop healthy coping mechanisms, process unresolved trauma, and rediscover the motivation to build a meaningful life.

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.

Welcome to The Last Resort. Where Men Recover.

We’re here to be the solution you seek and empower you to pursue the healing you need. Reach out for help today and step forward in confidence.

in Austin, Texas

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

Opioid withdrawal can be painful and dangerous without medical supervision. Our medically managed detox program provides 24/7 medical monitoring, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when necessary, and a safe, controlled environment to ease withdrawal symptoms.

Men struggling with opioid addiction often need time away from their usual environment to achieve true recovery. Our residential treatment program provides a structured, immersive healing experience, helping clients develop the skills and resilience needed for long-term sobriety.

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.

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.

Aftercare & Alumni Support

Long-term recovery from opioid addiction requires ongoing support. Our aftercare program provides peer mentorship, sober community events, and relapse prevention strategies to help men stay connected and accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Meth Rehab in Austin, Texas

How can I be sure this program will work for me if I’ve relapsed before?

Many men come to The Last Resort after struggling with repeated relapses, often feeling like treatment just doesn’t work for them. We specialize in helping men break the cycle of addiction by addressing the root causes of opioid dependence—whether it’s trauma, mental health struggles, or deeply ingrained behavioral patterns. Our structured environment, men’s-only approach, and emphasis on long-term recovery give clients a greater chance at sustained sobriety and lasting change.

Withdrawal is one of the biggest fears for anyone considering treatment for opioid addiction, and we take every measure to make detox as comfortable as possible. Our medically supervised detox program provides 24/7 monitoring, hydration, nutrition support, and, when necessary, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to ease withdrawal symptoms. Our goal is to help men get through detox safely and with dignity so they can begin real recovery with a clear mind and a stable body.

We understand that not every man can put his life on hold for months at a time. That’s why we offer various levels of care to accommodate different needs. Our residential program provides an immersive, structured environment for those who need full-time treatment, while our outpatient programs in South Austin allow men to continue working and maintaining personal responsibilities while receiving comprehensive support and therapy.

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.

Yes. We provide both Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs at our Austin outpatient center. These programs allow men to continue treatment while balancing responsibilities like work or family. Outpatient care is often used as a step-down option after residential rehab.

The gold standard treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is a comprehensive, individualized approach that combines[2]:

  1. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) – When appropriate, medications like buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
  2. Behavioral Therapy – Treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care address the underlying emotional and psychological aspects of addiction.
  3. A Structured Recovery Environment – Residential or outpatient treatment provides accountability, structure, and community support, crucial for long-term success.
  4. 12-Step and Peer Support Programs – Engaging in 12-Step recovery or other support groups reinforces long-term commitment to sobriety.

At The Last Resort, we believe that opioid addiction recovery goes beyond medication. While MAT can be helpful in some cases, true healing happens through personal transformation, accountability, and rebuilding a meaningful life free from addiction.

There is no single “drug of choice” for opioid addiction treatment, as each person’s needs and medical history differ. However, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is often used to help ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings.[1] The most commonly prescribed medications include:

  • Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex) – A partial opioid agonist that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing a high.
  • Methadone – A full opioid agonist that helps stabilize individuals with severe opioid dependence.
  • Naltrexone (Vivitrol) – An opioid antagonist that blocks the effects of opioids, preventing relapse.

Taking the first step is the hardest, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our admissions team is available to walk you through the process, verify your insurance, and help you determine the best treatment plan for your situation. Call us today to start your journey toward lasting recovery and freedom from opioid addiction.
