My 24 year old son completed the entire program at the IAR facility in Houston, twice. I considered both stays very successful; my son's improvement has been remarkable. The staff was great about communicating to me. I would particularly like to commend Cory McCork, who constantly reached out to my son to make sure he was OK during his relapses. Cory answered the phone at some pretty unusual times when I needed help or advice. He has a lot of experience and very good judgement.

Hitting my sobriety year mark so I finally feel comfortable leaving a review. I am so grateful I went to IARC and listened to the program they implemented. Cory as everyone has said is great with following up. The only 2 things negative were the lack of female sponsors available. Although I understand statistically there are less women in recovery, it was still something I did not have. I m glad I went and got my own as soon as I got back home. I know that at the end of the day it is still a for profit center but maaaan do they push sober living. Most of us were adults that had to go back to their kids, so it wasn t an option and we were often made to feel like we would relapse without going into sober living. Ive beaten the odds on that so far. My favorite things were the counselors like Ms D and Richard s morning readings. Ms D if you are still there I want you to know I still quote your little nuggets of wisdom and I miss the sound of your angel voice. Oh I m so grateful I had the option to utilize the gym! The food will get you fat as f&@k so try to stay active. In the end You either want recovery or you don t. I know I couldn t have gotten sober on my own. I believe 1000% that IARC helped show me the way. So if you re looking at reviews debating I am telling you right now don t wait. Let this be the one that makes you pick up the phone and get help.

I ll start by saying the positives. The majority of the staff is very kind and the people there are very nice and they really want to improve themselves. Now let me talk about Zach. All that guy cares about is your insurance money. They ll do anything in their power to make you stay. They preach morals and integrity And having good values but They throw all those out the window because they want your money. I was gaslit and guilted by Zach. They claim to care about your recovery But at the end of the day, their liars andsalesmen. I was told three times over the phone that my insurance would cover him staying at well. Well, to my surprise, they bring me into a room and tell me that actually insurance won t cover it. Don t listen to anything they say. they ll say whatever they can to get you into the building and make money off of you. Don t be fooled they don t care about you.

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.

I believe into action is a good place to restart your life if you find yourself in trouble. I’ve seen people come here and change. They will not change you unless you change yourself. It’s annoying but it’s a start for a good future. The staff are ex addicts and help you feel like it’s possible to change

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you, Kinaan, for recognizing our team’s dedication to supporting life-changing journeys. We’re glad you see the potential for a fresh start here and appreciate our staff’s relatable guidance. We’re here to support you and others in building a brighter future.

This facility saved my brother's life exactly a year ago. Year after year I prayed that my brother would seek help, but it had to come from him. A year ago today, he finally asked for help and made the journey to Houston and got the necessary help to get sober. Being so far away from home was not easy, but exactly what he needed. The staff kept me abreast of his progress daily, and when I finally got to talk to my brother, he shared the same sentiments, that the facility and team were amazing. They did so much for him, including a second chance at life...a sober life. I am forever grateful to IARC for saving my brother's life and giving me a second chance to get to know a sober version of him. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you, Maggie, for sharing such a heartfelt story about your brother’s life-changing journey to sobriety. We’re deeply honored to have played a part in his recovery and to have kept you informed every step of the way. Our team at Into Action Recovery Centers is grateful for your trust and looks forward to supporting your family’s continued healing.

I loved this place and thank you to Cory for making me go in the first place. It wasn't easy being there at first, but as time goes on it gets easier and easier to be there. I met some amazing people while being there as well. Just give it a try and you'll see it's not so bad. Everyone is there to help you get through the hardest time of your life and that's being sober. I spent meaning years high, but being there put everything in perspective for me and now I'm sober and plan to stay that way for whatever time I have left on this earth. You can do it!

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you, Jessica, for sharing your inspiring journey and kind words about our supportive team. We’re thrilled to hear how your time with us helped you find perspective and embrace sobriety. We’re here to cheer you on as you stay strong in your commitment to a sober life.

I came to this place thinking that it was a dual diagnosed program. I made it clear to the first person I spoke to that I have PTSD and I wanna learn how to manage it. The amount of anxiety I had coming into that building was outrageous. I was then told that there was Therapy groups coping mechanisms to deal with anxiety and that is 100% a lie. I had two horrible panic attacks there at this facility. Everyone I spoke to was making it sound like I was trying to manipulate them or if I was lying about my PTSD I was there For a week and two days and was incomplete misery and anxiety. I then moved across the street where supposedly all the therapy and trauma groups are and again was a complete lie. Every meeting I went to was about substance abuse, or alcoholism. The reason why I’m giving this 2 stars is because some of the staff members were absolutely fantastic with me when I was having anxiety and took the time to talk to me if you have a substance abuse disorder this place is for you, but if you have any type of anxiety or any other mental health condition, do not step foot in here I have spoken to other facilities and they have said the same thing about this facility I signed myself out and was treated like crap because I needed to focus more on my PTSD not okay

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 🤘✨

Thank you, Joshua, for sharing your gratitude and experience with our team at Into Action. We’re thrilled to hear how Corey’s support has kept you inspired and strong in your recovery journey. We’re here to keep cheering you on and encourage anyone struggling to take that brave step toward healing.
