I am extremely grateful and satisfied with the level of care my loved one has received at Into Action Recovery Center. I consider IntoAction a tight knit community who care for their members as well as parents. The transition to get my loved one to this facility without hesitation was impressive. I appreciate the level of communication I had with their staff member Cory. He was understanding, compassionate and did not give up on my loved one. He made it very easy for me as a parent. I have recommended Into Action to people I know who are also struggling with addiction. You get a 5 star from me! Thank you!

The experience your are expecting and will have depends on your perspective and your ability to have an open mind. In this review I will go over facts and my experiences; both positives and negatives.I will attempt to have multiple perspectives and try to see things from different viewpoints.When I arrived in the detox building I was a sick. I did not test positive for my DOC so they attempted to administer valium. I declined as benzodiazepines are not my DOC. The nursing staff told me the protocol would be to deny the valium for 3 days and then I can receive the proper detox medications. Even so, I felt that most -not all- of the nursing staff did not take me serious. I did insinuate that leaving was a potential option and was finally administered the proper medication. I was able to sleep well those few nights, for the most part.I have a varied background. I grew up an only child. Went to private school, graduated college and I am a professional. With that being said, I also know how to navigate the streets , hustle, buy and sell dope and all that crap. I say that to make the point that I am very easygoing and make an effort to get along, listen and try to understand everyone despite having different backgrounds and upbringings. The clients I met in detox were -for the most part- awesome. I made it a point to know everyone s names and their individual stories.Thefellowship is extremely important. We are all addicts who have had tough times. It is not often that you are in a place where there are 50+ sober drug addicts. The people you are around will also be a big reason you stay and do not leave. Because, there are many things I was dissatisfied with.I was told there would be personal chefs. At best we had line cooks. Working out has always been a huge part of my life. I burnt out and became obese and one point. I went from 250 -207 in a matter of months. I was told it would be no issue to workout 4 days a week instead of 3. Even when my disease was out of control, I still worked out 5 days a week, both weightlifting and heavy cardio spending about 100 -120 minutes a session. Doing that improved my mental health immensely, better than any antidepressant ever has. Quite frankly, it felt like a disrespectful slap in the face. I was told and verified via email that creatine would be no issue, just to have it confiscated. Other clients (I hate using that word, I feel it reduces us to faceless numbers in a corporate machine), had similar stories. One was under the impression he could continue his Suboxone maintenance from what he was told by the person who got him in. That is not totally uncommon as many recovery centers give you the option to switch to that. One other guy who had absolutely HORRIBLE stomach issues had to go to war every night to get some freaking tums. He would be in visible pain and throw up if none were given. Most of the staff (RA s and nurses) had an attitude about it and looked at him like he was asking for narcotics. It was not until he spoke to his counselor that he was finally able to score his tums so he could get his fix .About the food. If you are coming in off the street with no stable food supply, this is awesome and you will love it. If you are more like me and many of us. The food is subpar. Think jr. high lunch quality. You can say you have a special diet and they MAY remember to fix you the right thing. No options either. God forbid you want some shredded yellow cheese meant for salads, when all you wanted are the tacos and did not want a salad. They also push the hell out of it. God forbid I do not want to gain too much weight so I occasionally skip breakfast. I do not need to be asked if I had breakfast or woken up for breakfast. It s funny , they advocate having a healthy diet, routine exercise and good sleep. For me, that was all hard to come by in there. On the outside my diet, while not perfect, was much better. I touched upon how often I worked out and I have a job. I would have to wake up every morning by 6:30 AM. I have much more to say but googlenis limiting me.

Accepted Insurance

IntoAction Recovery Center – Extended Aftercare works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

monthly iconMonthly

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

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Into Action’s alcohol detox program is a safe and medically-supervised period of withdrawal. A custom detoxification plan is created for each patient to target the patient’s problem with alcohol in order to safely remove the substance before rehabilitation can begin. Detoxification is the second step (after the decision to seek treatment) in achieving sobriety. Their 24/7 medically-supervised program provides individualized detox plans designed to increase the chances of a successful treatment program.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient drug rehab and alcohol treatment programs provide you with a safe, secure, structured environment that allows you to focus on achieving your sobriety. Into Action’s inpatient programs are managed by their experienced staff to provide custom, effective treatment of your addiction.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Into Action’s intervention professionals work with the addict’s family and friends to prepare for the intervention. They understand how emotional and difficult confronting an addict is, and that each situation is unique based on the addict and the type of addiction. Their staff will help plan and facilitate the intervention. They will provide access to resources and assist with the development of a treatment plan and admission into a program.
12-step icon12-Step
The 12-step process provides an incredibly useful template for their counselors to expand upon. In their most simple form the 12 steps emphasize: honesty, personal accountability, repairing damage done through addiction and helping others. It is from this simple foundation that their staff endeavors to help clients work through the recovery process by confronting their past, being content with the present and embracing their future.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn’t spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Working with cognitive behavioral techniques, clients are trained on relapse prevention activities. They learn to identify and prevent high-risk situations as they readjust into their real world environment. Each client works with counselors and formulates their appropriate aftercare and next phase steps. These cover program, housing, work, and self-care itineraries. Clients will have the tools necessary to reintegrate into their everyday lives. They provide a safe place for our Alumni to meet, support each other, and to carry the message of recovery outside of the facility.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Led by a LCDC, groups are held to effect the treatment of various problems that may include anxiety, personality and substance disorders. The focus tends to center on extracting the symptoms and looking at them in their present day environment. Their team of LCDC’s assists the client in identifying their negative behavior patterns and the resulting consequences. After identification we coach them on how to modify their behaviors to certain events to bring about positive consequences.

Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. They work with clients in counseling sessions to identify and better manage or reconcile troublesome differences and repeating patterns of distress. The relationship may be between family members, couples, employees or employers in a workplace.

The initial ten days of treatment typically involves a brief communication blackout period. This allows their staff to begin the detox process, if necessary, as well as beginning to lay the foundation for family counseling. Families are more than welcome to call and ask to speak to their loved one’s counselor during this period. They very strongly encourage family participation and want families to be a part of the process.

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. Meetings are held to teach clients relative coping skills that relate to personal and interpersonal efforts. Stressors that present themselves as challenges will be addressed. Personal counseling will take place as needed with trained professionals.

Life skills training will take place to help each individual with the demands and challenges of everyday life. Practicing life skills leads to qualities such as self-esteem, sociability, and tolerance that clients may have lost while coping with their disease. This training prepares the client for their next phase of recovery.

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). By having groups that treat alcohol and drug problems relating to normative-based feedback our LCDC’s can evaluate the client’s motivation to change in light of their input.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. An external class is offered by a therapist on the subject of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the way it affects substance abuse. The intense 3-day seminar covers addiction, abandonment, abuse, grief, and trauma issues.

Into action recovery changed my life especially after I came back home to New Mexico. I still have a staff member Corey McCormick who reaches out to see how my recovery is going. Makes me still feel part of the community out there ! And reminds me of my experience strength and hope I gained from my time out there !! 10/10 would recommend for anyone struggling and looking for a solution!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone at Into Action. I stumbled in early one morning and had the pleasure of meeting Corey who's been nothing short of a saint and helped me when I needed it. He's continued to to be in my support system and I'm grateful for everything I've learned and the spark that's kept that flame to learn lit. If you're struggling with addiction of any kind, be kind to yourself and give it a try. What's the worst that can happen... If it all works out

11 months ago I attended IARC Struggling with substance abuse. Coming from Illinois the whole staff welcomed me, supported me, and taught me how to live a life of sobriety through the 12 steps. Cory was one of the staff members I could really relate with on a personal level and I gravitated towards him. I am now 11 months sober & still living in the Houston area. I absolutely would not be where I m at today without INTO ACTION and the staff as a whole.

I would like to think into action for being there for me at the time of my life. When my life was a mess, they help me use tools. I needed recover and to stay in recovery. In my life the people there were very loving open-minded and understanding of disease. That is addiction. I'm grateful and will always be in debt to interaction with my life and my life and recovery to show others who are living in addiction. How life is possible without being?Drug down by their addiction. But you can lift yourself up in surround yourself with good people who sees the best in you and return you see the best in others. So I say to anybody who's an addiction. Give yourself a chance, give you a life that you deserve by recovering yourself. And being part of your interaction by going to interaction.And with most loving gratitude , I would like to mention "Cory McCormick". For being a true friend from the 1st day of a mission where he helped me into action. And as of now, a friend who checks on me constantly see if I need or want anything. Where I'm struggling with any things that could cause me to slip back into an addiction.You're a light in a dark place for me which I will never put out.Keep shining Cory

My daughter was in Houston facility from Kansas. Tried several times to talk to her counselor. Was told would call never did. Was discharged from facility and put on airplane from a place 4 hours from her home and notified absolutely no one so she could be picked up. They gave her back her personal phone which was dead. She took a new charger with her which she never got back. They say they have family counseling. Not true. You can't even get a phone call from counselor. I called center when I found out of discharge and absolutely no family notified. They say let me get connected with her counselor. Once again no answer and no return phone call. No, they DO NOT CARE.

Into Action Recovery Centers are top notch, in my humble opinion. My main focus was my mental health, and I had my recovery process tailored to those requests. The staff, Zack, Rachel, Corey, Lauren, Terri, honestly all of them, walk this journey with you while allowing you to heal. I would not be where I am today without their love, courage, support, strength, and understanding. This is a deadly disease, and there are no guarantees, but they get in the trenches with us and continue the fight offering the residents a different perspective and outlook on life.
