Company description
Addiction can happen to anyone, and it does. An estimated 20 million Americans struggle with a substance use disorder, and many of those people are men. At The Last Resort Recovery Center, we help men to break the cycle of addiction and find themselves again—no one intends to get addicted to drugs or alcohol. Many times, substance abuse begins with experimentation, social use, or an attempt to unwind after a tough day at work. You may have become dependent on prescription opioids after an injury or turned to alcohol after a loss. Unfortunately, no matter how you begin drinking or using drugs, occasional substance use can often spiral into full-blown chemical dependency. There are several theories about why men are at higher risk for substance use disorder. Some believe that the dynamics of male peer groups may contribute to earlier access to drugs; others point to higher levels of risk-taking behavior among men. However, these explanations don't paint a complete picture of what we've learned at our addiction treatment center in Austin, TX: that substance abuse occurs as a result of social and personal pressures that men face every day. When men aren't allowed to talk about their feelings, they turn to substances.
