The Healing Environment of Hawaii
Located in Kailua-Kona, we incorporate our island setting into the recovery experience. Local culture, community, and cuisine are woven into programming to help patients experience recovery as a way of living, not simply a period of treatment.

A Connected Continuum of Care

A Foundation for Life Beyond Our Program
The goal is not simply to complete a program, but to help patients move toward greater self-reliance, purpose, and freedom from substance dependence. Our holistic approach gives patients space to discover how recovery can fit into the life they want to build.

Our Levels of Care from
Detox to Aftercare

We provide comprehensive addiction treatment tailored to each stage of recovery. From medically supervised detox to inpatient residential care and ongoing support, our programs help individuals build a foundation for long-term sobriety. 

Detox

Our medical detox program provides individualized care under the supervision of an experienced, board-certified addiction specialist. Throughout withdrawal, our clinical team monitors vital signs, manages symptoms, and assesses hydration and nutritional needs to support your safety and comfort. This initial stage of treatment helps stabilize physical health and prepare the individual for the next phase of recovery. 

Residential Treatment

Our residential addiction treatment program provides a structured, supportive environment where clients can focus on healing away from everyday stressors and triggers. Through evidence-based therapies, holistic addiction treatment, and personalized treatment plans, we address the underlying factors contributing to substance use. Clients develop practical coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and establish healthy habits that support lasting recovery. 

Outpatient Treatment

Recovery continues beyond residential care. We utilize outpatient addiction treatment services to provide ongoing support as clients transition back into everyday life. Our partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and aftercare services offer continued therapeutic guidance, relapse prevention strategies, and opportunities to strengthen coping skills. These flexible levels of care help individuals maintain progress, build independence, and establish a foundation for long-term recovery. 

Aftercare Planning & Sober Community Activities

Our personalized aftercare planning connects clients with ongoing recovery resources, including consultations with addiction specialists, continued psychotherapy, experiential therapy, and addiction coaching. We also focus on building meaningful relationships and maintaining a supportive sober community to help individuals navigate life after treatment. Participation in 12-Step programs, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), volunteer opportunities, and community activities can strengthen accountability and support long-term sobriety.

Getting Started With Addiction Treatment in Hawaii

Healing begins with a confidential conversation with our admissions team to understand medical history, recovery goals, and treatment needs. We make use of standardized assessment tools to understand the appropriate level of care and review whether there is alignment with what Hawaii Island Recovery offers. Contact our admissions team today to start the process. 

Personalized Mental Health and Substance Use Treatment

Substance abuse often occurs alongside mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma. At our center, our individualized approach to substance use disorder treatment addresses these interconnected concerns. This is done through integrated behavioral health services and trauma-informed care, helping clients build a stronger foundation for lasting recovery. 

Conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and unresolved trauma can complicate addiction recovery when left unaddressed. Our integrated dual diagnosis approach combines addiction care with mental health treatment, incorporating individualized therapies and trauma-informed care to address both concerns. By strengthening emotional regulation, developing healthy coping strategies, and managing co-occurring symptoms, clients can build greater resilience and support long-term sobriety. 

Past traumatic experiences can contribute to substance use, although addiction develops differently for everyone. Our trauma-informed care approach emphasizes safety, trust, and individualized support while helping clients explore experiences that may influence their relationship with alcohol, opioids, or other drugs. Through evidence-based therapies and personalized treatment plans, clients can develop healthier coping strategies, process difficult emotions, and strengthen their foundation for lasting recovery. 

We combine evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, psychotherapy, and relapse prevention strategies, to address the underlying challenges associated with addiction. Our holistic addiction treatment approach complements traditional therapies with wellness practices such as yoga, meditation, and fitness to support physical, emotional, and psychological healing. Together, these services provide a comprehensive recovery experience tailored to each client’s individual needs.
