Who Is the Return to Recovery Program For?
This specialized program is designed for men who have completed treatment but need more intensive support than they initially realized:
- Recent slip after completing treatment – You finished residential rehab but experienced a brief return to use
- Declined continuing care initially – You went home after treatment instead of pursuing outpatient or sober living support
- Need more structure than anticipated – You’ve realized traditional outpatient isn’t enough to maintain your sobriety
Why Choose Our Return to Recovery Program?
- Structured daily programming through our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) framework, 5-7 days per week
- Specialized relapse prevention curriculum designed for men who’ve completed treatment
- Enhanced accountability measures beyond standard outpatient programs
For men who need additional support, we offer PHP housing and can coordinate sober living arrangements to provide the stable environment that enhances recovery success.
Address relapse triggers in a supportive environment designed specifically for men, where you can be honest about your struggles without judgment. The Last Resort has helped hundreds of men achieve lasting sobriety through our comprehensive approach.

Treatment Approaches
Like all programs at The Last Resort, our Return to Recovery Program incorporates evidence-based therapeutic approaches based on each individual’s unique circumstances, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a gold-standard approach to addiction treatment that helps you identify harmful thought patterns and forge healthier ones.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
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 Therapy
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.
Group Therapy
Peer support and group therapy are essential for recovery, allowing you to practice coping skills, learn from others, and openly share your experiences.
Family Therapy
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.
Life Skills for Addiction
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.
12-Step Programs
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.
Motivational Interviewing
At The Last Resort, we proudly offer motivational interviewing (MI), a collaborative approach that respects each person’s autonomy and strengths. MI empowers our clients to explore their motivations for change and take active steps toward healing.
Solution-focused brief Therapy (SFBT)
Solution-focused brief Therapy (SFBT) offers a refreshing approach to addressing substance abuse. Rather than dwelling on past problems, SFBT focuses on strengths, solutions, and achievable goals. At its core, SFBT invites you to envision a future free from addiction and collaboratively work toward practical solutions that enhance your well-being.
Addiction Education
The Last Resort specializes in providing men with the knowledge they need to overcome addiction. Through structured programs and personalized sessions, our one-of-a-kind treatment experience gives you critical knowledge about addiction, its effects, and practical strategies for recovery.

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?
“As a treatment professional, The Last Resort is a program I would send a family member to. We have made several referrals for men to receive help from The Last Resort and the outcomes are consistently positive. They provide more services then most programs and do it all at a very affordable cost. They continue to go to extra lengths to make sure they are above board in all areas of their program. I could not recommend them more highly! Thank you for all that you do, TLR!”
