Hawaii Island Recovery as the ‘Last Stop’ for Those Seeking Sobriety
Our substance abuse treatment center in Hawaii has been viewed as the “last stop” for many of those who have struggled tirelessly to not only get sober but stay sober. Maybe they have tried to get sober on their own but found it difficult to maintain sobriety long-term. Or perhaps they found themselves stuck in a relentless cycle of trying different rehab programs but just not finding one that worked best for them.
At Hawaii Island Recovery, our unique program is what has allowed so many of our patients to achieve long-lasting sobriety upon completing treatment. We know our patients already want to stay sober. Our goal is to provide them with the tools, resources, and support necessary to accomplish this.
By ensuring our treatment program is tailored to fit your specific individual needs, we can work with you to pave a much happier and healthier path forward. Call us today to start your recovery journey!

Transformative and Restorative Addiction Treatment in Hawaii
At Hawaii Island Recovery, we recognize that struggling with addiction can be a very isolating and discouraging experience. You may feel hopeless, scared, and apprehensive about seeking professional treatment.
Many people avoid seeking out treatment at a rehab facility because they don’t know what to expect. They may also be skeptical that successful long-term recovery is really an option for them.
If this is something that you or someone you love is currently going through, rest assured that there is hope. Our team at Hawaii Island Recovery is here to help. Through our addiction treatment program, we have helped over 1,600 people take back their lives from substance use disorder and begin to heal. We want to help you, too.

Spending time out in nature exploring the island, practicing mind-body wellness through yoga, and enjoying delicious chef-prepared meals are just some of the things you can expect from our treatment programs.

Personalized Mental Health Treatment
Mental health and substance use go hand in hand. In many cases, people turn to substance use as a result of trying to cope with unresolved trauma or untreated mental health disorders. These mental health disorders may include things like:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Eating disorders
- Personality disorders
We provide effective treatment for these disorders to give individuals the best chance at long-term sobriety upon leaving our alcohol and drug treatment center in Hawaii.
Identify the Root Cause of Substance Use Disorder
Addressing both addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders is crucial for healing the root causes of substance use disorders. At Hawaii Island Recovery, we want to do everything possible to help you not just get sober, but stay sober. One of the ways we do this is by helping you ensure your mental health is as strong as it can be. This involves learning how to manage stress and other negative emotions effectively to build resilience.

The team at our center for alcohol and drug rehab in Hawaii understands that the recovery journey doesn’t end with residential treatment. Rather, it is a lifelong journey that takes place one day — and even one moment — at a time.
We offer continued support through outpatient treatment, including our partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and aftercare program. These options help guide patients through the critical period that occurs as they transition back to their everyday lives.
Through outpatient treatment, you can experience more flexibility than in residential treatment, but continue to receive all the guidance and support you may need. Our programs include:
- Individual counseling
- Group therapy
- Education sessions
- Medication management
All of these benefits help to ensure that you feel fully confident and comfortable as you begin the early stages of your recovery journey.
Aftercare Planning
Our aftercare planning is another important part of this process. This helps to ensure that you have access to all of the resources necessary to navigate life in recovery. Services may include:
- Consultations with an addictionologist
- Continued psychotherapy and experiential therapy
- Continued addiction coaching
Aftercare Participation in Sober Community Activities
At Hawaii Island Recovery, you’ll have the chance to build lasting relationships with peers and expand your recovery community. We encourage active participation in sober activities, which helps sustain lasting recovery. Activities might include:
- 12-Step programs
- Community events and activities such as AA and NA
- Volunteer work

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, at our addiction treatment center, we have both private and shared rooms available. While staying in these rooms, you’ll have the ability to enjoy the incredibly beautiful backdrops that the Big Island has to offer. From the gorgeous Pacific Ocean coastline to the breathtaking heights of Mount Hualalai, there will be no shortage of awe-inspiring sights for you to take in. Our facility is often dubbed a “haven” for those who are on their own personal journeys of sobriety.
We accept many different types of insurance providers. To determine if we can accept your specific provider and what specific aspects of treatment will be covered, be sure to reach out to our team at Hawaii Island Recovery. One of our Intake Coordinators will have you fill out our “Verification of Benefits” form, which is available on our website. From there, we can work with you to determine your eligibility for insurance coverage at our recovery center.
The total cost of treatment at Hawaii Island Recovery depends on several different factors. This includes how much of the treatment your health insurance provider can cover. In some cases, you may be responsible for the deductible and co-pay. Factors such as the length of treatment you’re looking for and the specific type of treatment you’re looking for can also contribute to the cost. To get a more specific idea of how much you can expect to pay for our treatment program, consider giving us a call at (818) 713-6745.
The detoxification or “detox” process is often what intimidates people the most when it comes to seeking professional addiction treatment. It involves allowing the body to rid itself of harmful or addictive substances. For those in substance use recovery, this is typically drugs such as opioids and prescription medications, and/or alcohol. This is often considered the first and one of the most critical parts of the recovery journey because of the withdrawal side effects that are often experienced.
At Hawaii Island Recovery, you can detox while under constant medical supervision. Not only is this far safer than trying to detox at home, but it is often more successful. We can help to monitor your withdrawal symptoms while using medication to keep you as comfortable as possible.
The length of stay for treatment varies based on each individual’s specific needs. At Hawaii Island Recovery, we provide flexible options of 30, 60, and 90 days to accommodate these needs. If you’re unsure which treatment length is right for you, our team is here to help — please reach out for more information. We can even help with aftercare options such as outpatient programs, transitional living, such as sober living, and community and alumni support.
No. While we do treat residents around the Island of Hawaii, such as Maui, Ohana, Hilo, Honolulu, Kaneohe, and Oahu, we also offer help to individuals across the United States, such as California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. If you are interested in embarking on your recovery journey in the serene and unique setting of Hawaii, please get in touch with our admissions team for more information.
Recovery is about the journey, never the destination, and there is perhaps no better place to start that journey than right here with us on Hawaii’s Big Island. Yes, recovery is just over the horizon; let us help you get it.
