How to Treat Behavioral Addiction

Common behavioral addictions for which people seek help include gambling, food, sex and pornography. These may be as destructive as a substance abuse problem, and require intervention that not only addresses the problematic addictive behavior, but also identifies the underlying emotional and psychological issues that drive the behavior. This is true of all addictions. Using techniques derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting and other trauma-informed interventions, our skilled therapists will guide you into a deeper understanding of your addiction, facilitate the resolution of past traumas and provide you with the tools you need to realize your goal of living addiction free.

The addictionologist establishes and supervises each client’s detox from alcohol, meth, heroin and other substances. Dr. Stephen Denzer supervises our registered nurse in the detox protocol.  Throughout this phase of treatment, our physician closely monitors the client’s detox-related medical needs so that withdrawal or chronic pain issues can be immediately addressed.

Therapeutic Recreational Activities

Learning new strategies for healthful living is key to a client’s successful recovery from addiction.  Hawaii Island Recovery’s comprehensive program incorporates learning new skills, or rediscovering previous practices, of taking responsibility and care of yourself through good nutrition, fitness and enjoyable recreational activities.

Fitness and Nutrition

To help clients improve their overall physical strength and level of fitness, individuals receive on-going personal training from a licensed trainer throughout their residential program.  Sessions are held at a fully equipped gym where clients may develop a fitness routine that is physically challenging and also fun. Our personalized fitness training and yoga therapy focus on building strength, stamina and flexibility, while improving coordination and motor skills.

What Our Clients Say About Us

  • HIR has created and environment with structure and support when needed.

    One of the most beneficial therapies happened off-site-out-of-the-office. We had the opportunity to do therapeutic work in nature. For me, being in nature allowed me to heal with out the stigma of an office setting.
    Charlie, Client

  • A successful 30 day rehab and detox from pain pills and cocaine

    I have never been to rehab in my life and I was so afraid of detox and being miserable without pills and drugs. I wish I came to HIR sooner because they made it so easy for me. If you or a family member is considering treatment I will highly suggest Hawaii Island Recovery they have the best staff to accommodate your needs and are very compassionate and accommodating.
    Chris, Client

  • I have overcome my fear of socialization

    We all have bad days, ones where we feel alone, or afraid, but here at Hawaii Island Recovery we are never alone and we can face our fears. I have overcome my fear of socialization, even the fear of loneliness. HIR has allowed me to not be so nervous, afraid. It also gave me skills, such as public speaking, giving me positive energy and adding more structure in my life to make me feel like I am not abusing this perfect life that was given to me all along.

    Sharon, Client

  • Within 72 Hours I was in Hawaii

    I put in very little research into what rehabilitation center I went to. I did decided I wanted to get away from what I thought was a life style. After opening up to my sister. Within 72 Hours I was in Hawaii. When my sister told me I could go to treatment in Hawaii I felt I was undeserving. Sure HIR had a great location. There therapy helped me understand my addiction and gave me copping skills to get my life back. I was very fortunate to have a great group of People who became my friends in recovery. After the intense therapy a excursion and laughter  was well needed to process I am grateful for this opportunity.

  • I have never felt so secure

    As I came in I was confused, not knowing what to expect. As the day's followed I settled in with 100% focus on why I was here. I have never felt so secure of my surrounding and the group of professional I shared my feeling, thoughts, secrets,  life's ups and downs, with the time spent here I encompused and learned so much tools for me to practice for the rest of my life. I am so much freeier, open, honest, and ready and willing to live this new adventure in sobriety. I would highly recommend this treatment facility to anyone needing guidance and direction hope and a new way of life. I can’t thank this place enough  for building such a strong foundation from a structure that was falling apart and missing so many elements to succeed as “normal.”

  • Recovery has provided a life that at one point did not seem possible

    There is something special about this Island and the people here. Kona, the HIR program and the AA fellowship had a life changing effect on me. So much so, that I decided to move from Tennessee and make Hawaii my home. It was the best decision I have ever made for myself. Recovery has provided a life that at one point did not seem possible. I’m happier and healthier than I have ever been. I feel blessed to be able to give back to the program that gave so much to me.
