About The Last Resort Recovery Center
The Last Resort Recovery Center specializes in helping adult men overcome substance abuse addiction through healing and brotherhood. They also help veterans, military personnel, families, and professionals. They’re located in Austin, Texas, and are recognized by CARF. A few of the programs individuals can enroll in include the following:
Before attending the residential treatment program, you’ll likely need to detox. At this detox center, the detoxification process is conducted in a home away from home setting with 24/7 medical care. Medications are available to help manage withdrawal and cravings; these are administered by trained clinicians. The length of detox can vary depending on an individual’s substance abuse history, but most complete this program in five to seven days.
The inpatient residential treatment program at The Last Resort Recovery Center is best suited if you complete the detox program. Their residential program runs for between 45 and 90 days, depending on your needs. In addition, this specialized treatment program for drug and alcohol use includes group, individual, and family therapy. There’s also adventure therapy, horseback riding and caring for horses, and how to control your emotions and manage PTSD and grief.
Once you finish the inpatient program you can downscale to an outpatient setting. This can include partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient treatment. In addition to the individual and group therapy, you’ll learn new life skills and assistance as you prepare to go back to your community. Transportation is also available to and from the center.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.
Many men come to them suffering from a variety of co-occurring disorders, such as depression or an anxiety disorder. The psychological symptoms of the mental illness may be secondary to the chemical addiction, which means that when the addiction is properly addressed, other symptoms may improve as well. Their onsite clinicians are highly qualified to identify issues associated with addiction and treat those disorders through therapy and medication. Providing a man with the right level of care when it is needed is another strength of the new recovery model utilized at The Last Resort.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
EquiSteps and Advanced Equine Rhythm are their trademark programs that are setting a new standard in Equine Assisted Therapy. The Last Resort has honed a unique methodology, unlike any other equine programs offered for drug and alcohol treatment centers. Their programs combine 12 step work with physically/emotionally safe experiences with horses and a sound theoretical approach informed by current neurobiology research of the addicted brain. For many clients struggling with issues of addiction, there is a need for more than traditional talk therapy. Their unique EAP program meets these needs.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.
At The Last Resort they know that supporting the family is just as important as supporting the individual struggling with addiction. That is why every family that comes to The Last Resort receives a customized Family Support Contract. This contract is developed over a period of 30-days just prior to a clients discharge and is a collaborative effort between the client, their family, and their discharge coordinator.
Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Years of chemical abuse take a serious toll on the body. At The Last Resort, they believe proper nutrition can play a key role in aiding a man’s recovery from addiction. Through carefully planned, nutritious menus, they help men appreciate the hidden role nutrition can play in controlling their mood swings and aiding them in the recovery process.
