Shane’s Story Behind Why He Started Into Action Recovery

Shane Leonard recounts his own recovery journey and how that led him to co-founding Into Action Recovery Centers to help others overcome the damage caused by addiction.

“I’m sharing my story here in hopes that it might help others struggling with addiction. While my life is unique, my journey to sobriety is like that of millions of others who have successfully overcome addiction. I hope, if you’re struggling with addiction yourself, this may provide you with some encouragement and proof that you’re not alone”

Our program starts with a 30-day program. We do offer 30, 60 and 90 day programs. We've found that 30 days just simply isn't long enough to get the full program effect. A typical stay with Into Action would be at a client's choosing, of course we always recommend 90 days. 

Yes, we're fully licensed by the state of Texas. We also hold the prestigious 3-year CARF accreditation. We do offer sober living for a continuum of care after.

At Into Action, we pride ourselves on being able to provide a really individually-based treatment plan. One of the things that is a challenge when treating addiction, is there’s no such thing as a cookie cutter approach. There’s no one size fits all treatment plan for every single person that comes in. But the primary thing that we have found is that the biggest contributor to being able to facilitate change in that individual, is being able to provide them with a treatment plan and a modality that they will actually implement and that they will actually use. You can have the best treatment program in the world but it doesn’t do anybody any good if they don’t use it.

Our current staff to client ratio is right at about 2 to 1. Our counselors carry very small caseloads, compared to the industry standard. And that’s another thing we’re very proud of. These people come to us in bad situations and they want to change desperately but often times they don’t know how and that can become increasingly complicated if your staff are burdened with too high of a caseload for your counselors, for your medical staff…etc. We’re big on evidence-based practices.

There’s a happy medium to be had with blending a holistic approach with a medical and evidence-based approach. We have 24 Hour nursing, we have a psychiatrist as our medical director, we have onsite nurse practitioners, and we have a fantastic clinical team, including some master levels counselors as well as great direct care staff that are people that are in recovery themselves and able to convey and relate the experiences they have been through and what’s helped them stay sober.
