Recovery is possible!

Hawaii Island Recovery is founded on the premise that recovery is possible for everyone, no matter how broken or defeated by their addiction. Because addiction rarely occurs in the absence of a co-occurring disorder, our clinical staff applies evidence-based therapies to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mental health issues in conjunction with effective addiction treatment. Our treatment program is client-centered, and with a maximum of 8 residents our clients receive intensive, individualized attention from a highly-trained and compassionate staff.

Recovery is a journey in which we partner with our clients to ensure they have the tools they need to maintain their sobriety for the long haul.  But true recovery is more than staying sober. It is recovering one’s capacity to feel joy, to experience inner calm, to form healthy and supportive relationships, to engage in meaningful activities and manage the stress of daily life. To do this, it is necessary to concurrently treat the underlying causes of addiction, most often depression, anxiety and/ or trauma. Utilizing a combination of evidence-based, experiential and integrative treatment modalities, our program addresses the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual dimensions of addiction and endeavors to restore health and balance in all areas of a person’s life.

The majesty of the Big Island is more than a backdrop to the work we do, it is front and center. The beauty of our island environment is integral to the healing process. Look to the west, there is an endless expanse of crystalline ocean. Look to the east, there are mountains, sometimes snowcapped, steady and rugged. The warmth of the sun, the fragrance of tropical flowers, the spirit of aloha, all conspire to remind you that living life sober, on life’s terms, is well worth the effort.

The Hawaiian concept of “ohana” means family and is a guiding principle of our program. In addiction’s wake is the wreckage of broken promises and fractured relationships. Addicts often find themselves alone and without a support system. When you come to Hawaii Island Recovery, you will feel a part of something special, because you are. You will never get lost in the shuffle, no one will forget your name. You will be treated with care and respect, and the bonds that you form with others in the sober community will help to sustain you and inspire you in your own recovery.

Cited as one of the “ten best rehabs in the country”, the staff of Hawaii Island Recovery is poised to help you or a loved one recover from the scourge of addiction on the Big Island of Hawaii.
