Hawaii Drug Treatment and Drug Rehab

When it comes to recovery from drug addiction, it is essential that you find a treatment center that specializes in the treatment of addiction. At Hawaii Island Recovery, we offer a variety of different evidence-based and holistic addiction treatment programs to help you overcome drug addiction and mental illness. 

Although unfortunate, many individuals believe drug addiction is a choice, or that addiction is the result of some kind of moral failing or simple unwillingness to change. This only delays healing and continues to spread misinformation about addiction and mental illness that perpetuates harmful myths, stereotypes, and stigmas around these disorders. It’s not uncommon for individuals to still believe that quitting the use of drugs is as simple as “just quitting,” that those who cannot quit lack self-control, or that there is something wrong with someone if they cannot simply quit using substances. However, none of these ideas are true. 

What makes recovering from addiction more difficult than a choice to “just quit” is that addiction is a complex and progressive disease. Addiction is not something most people would willingly choose to struggle against. It is also a disease that profoundly affects the brain, causing a person to continue using alcohol or drugs even if they recognize the negative effects of use, or would otherwise want to stop. Although substance abuse may start with the choice to use an addictive substance, this choice quickly slips away as the disease begins to manifest and progress.

Addiction does not go away even when an individual stops using drugs and begins drug or alcohol rehab or any kind of substance abuse treatment. Although there are drug treatment programs where many individuals will find lasting recovery and sobriety, there is no cure for drug addiction. The disease is similar to other health conditions, such as cancer or heart disease. These conditions may not ever fully “go away” but can go into remission with treatment. Those committed to long-term recovery will be tasked with continuing to maintain their changes and updating their treatment plans for lasting wellness.

Even with treatment, relapses can always happen. This is why it is vital to your healing and your recovery journey that you engage in ongoing treatment at a dedicated treatment facility and find support systems that bolster your recovery and promote long-term sobriety.

Our Hawaii drug treatment programs are for individuals who are ready to leave opioids, marijuana, heroin, and other drugs behind to gain back their life, freedom, and health care and wellness. For most individuals, staying sober is often a more difficult task than initially becoming sober. If lasting sobriety were possible through detoxification treatment alone, relapse occurrences would happen at a much lower rate. 

What makes recovering from drug addiction more than just getting sober is the need to heal the underlying problems that lead to drug addiction in the first place. If the root causes of addiction are not treated, like mental health disorders, behavioral health conditions, and past traumatic experiences, it will hinder the chances of a successful recovery and increase the risk of relapse. 

Deciding to enter an addiction treatment program is one of the most healing and empowering choices you can make for yourself and your recovery. While recovery from drug or alcohol addiction takes hard work, beginning your journey at a dedicated recovery center in Hawaii is a great way to approach substance use treatment with support, education, and a commitment to lasting change.

Addiction can develop for many different reasons. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), some of the most common reasons individuals develop addiction include, but are not limited to: 

Through understanding the main causes of your addiction, you’ll begin to learn how to overcome it. One of the realities of addiction is that the triggers you have for using substances will likely continue to affect you even after you begin recovery. This is why one of the main goals of addiction treatment is learning healthy coping mechanisms so that triggers do not lead to relapse. Hawaii Island Recovery offers a personalized treatment approach for each individual, empowering you to learn practical skills to navigate and overcome your unique history with addictive substances, and develop personalized treatment across all levels of care at Hawaii Island Recovery. 

Many facilities claim that they have the cure for addiction. However, many of these centers do not use evidence-based treatment modalities and are not reputable facilities for healing. When entering addiction treatment,  it’s important to know that you are entering a trusted and ethical center for addiction recovery. 

Hawaii Island Recovery provides evidence-based therapies for addiction that are backed by several scientific studies and show high rates of abstinence from drug use and lower relapse rates. We combine these personalized treatments, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing, with holistic healing opportunities to help you heal the core reasons for why addiction started in the first place and support you as you build the tools and confidence you need to navigate and maintain a long-lasting recovery. 

These options are available throughout detox and inpatient care as well as our intensive outpatient program (IOP) and ongoing outpatient treatment, ensuring that you or your loved one always have access to effective, personalized support throughout your time on the Big Island of Hawaii and beyond.

Oftentimes, it’s not just addiction that is present when entering treatment, but also co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, that are commonly seen alongside substance use disorders. If you are experiencing addiction as well as another mental illness, it is called a dual diagnosis. 

Since dual diagnoses often impact addiction, the best and most comprehensive treatment facilities also provide mental health treatment. Mental illness is the leading cause of addiction and relapse. Therefore, a facility specializing in dual diagnosis treatment can help you learn how to effectively manage both substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health disorders. At Hawaii Island Recovery, we can help you recover from mental illness and addiction through a variety of holistic methods. 

Hawaii Island Recovery is a drug addiction treatment center providing evidence-based, dual diagnosis, and holistic treatments for lasting recovery. We have an extremely high success rate with over seventy-five percent of our patients staying sober for a year or longer and learning the coping skills they need to experience lasting recovery. The comprehensive programs we offer include:

Overcoming drug use, mental health needs, and learning the skills to maintain sobriety in daily life takes hard work. However, we offer a supportive community, caring professionals, and a uniquely Hawaiian approach to change, ensuring that you can not just challenge the effects of addiction in your life but also establish a truly transformed lifestyle and perspective in sobriety. 

It is never too late to begin your journey overcoming drug addiction, nor is there anyone who is “too addicted” or undeserving of a life of sobriety. Our team is ready to meet you where you are in your journey, whether you are just beginning your path to healing or looking for a new approach after past attempts at a sober life. We work with most health insurance plans and are always available to discuss your personal needs, goals, and strategies before you begin your journey with us.
