These programs have extensive research surrounding their efficacy, bringing a scientific method to effective practices and therapies.
Evidence-based substance use disorder treatment is part of comprehensive programs that do more than just address specific symptoms of addiction but overcome the effects of addiction as a whole.

Who Can Benefit From Evidence-Based Addiction Treatment?
Addiction is a difficult disease to overcome, and science-based addiction treatment provides care that is based on individuals who have successfully recovered. Addressing alcohol use, opioid use disorder, stimulant or methamphetamine use, or any form of substance use disorder is a complex journey filled with personal needs, goals, and experiences. Evidence-based substance abuse treatment is beneficial for you if you:
- Have alcohol dependence or alcohol use disorder
- Are struggling with opioid addiction/opioid use disorder
- Use or abuse stimulants or methamphetamines
- Struggle with other substance misuse
- Have a substance use disorder with co-occurring mental health conditions or trauma
At Hawaii Island Recovery, we offer a fully individualized evidence-based rehab program that can help you overcome the use of drugs and alcohol and challenges like mental health disorders and trauma each step of the way by taking your needs, goals, and readiness into consideration.
Whole-Person Healing Rooted in Hawaii
Hawaii Island Recovery takes a whole-person approach to healing, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit. From detox and residential treatment through IOP and aftercare, patients are supported within a close-knit community and a setting that incorporates the culture, environment, and spirit of Hawaii.
Intimate, Individualized Care
With no more than eight patients at a time, we offer a highly personalized setting where each person can receive focused attention, develop meaningful relationships with staff, and work toward lasting change.
Mind, Body, and
Spirit
Healing extends beyond addressing substance use. Patients can participate in evidence-based therapies alongside yoga, meditation, acupuncture, massage, fitness, nutrition, and other services that support physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being.
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
We offer detox, residential treatment, and IOP, creating a pathway for patients to receive ongoing support as their needs change. Continuing care and aftercare remain an important part of helping each person carry the work of healing into everyday life.
Community as Part of Recovery
Recovery happens in relationships with others. We foster a strong sense of community where patients can build connections, practice healthy ways of relating, and develop a support system that can extend beyond their time in residential care.
A Foundation for Life Beyond Treatment
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.

Evidence-Based Therapies for Addiction
Hawaii Island Recovery offers various evidence-based approaches to empower you to find the strategies that work best for you. Overcoming substance use disorder is hard work, and there is no replacement for the effort it takes to overcome any number of difficult challenges. We believe that you can be the catalyst for your own change and provide options that support you to take control of your own best path to healing.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is considered the “gold standard” of evidence-based treatment and therapy, as it involves exploring the connection between a person’s thoughts and beliefs (cognitive) and their actions (behavioral). In CBT, you will sit with a caring professional to explore how personal challenges are based on self-destructive thoughts or unhealthy learned patterns of behavior, replacing these self-destructive aspects of your life with healthier or positive alternatives.
CBT has been proven to be a flexible, evidence-based approach to overcoming mental health disorders, addiction, trauma, or a combination thereof.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
This evidence-based treatment is a form of psychotherapy that uses the language of change to help you explore personal goals and objectively analyze your current situations, skills, and needs to create a self-motivated plan for healing. MI highlights personal goals to facilitate change while embracing the challenges and bumps that come along the way for a resilient approach to change, motivation, and an evolving set of goals and ambitions.
This uses psychotherapy to help you find your own motivation and goals and take control of your behaviors to achieve success, ensuring that you are invested and supported in your healing journey.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
While EMDR was first developed as a strategy to address PTSD, it has found success in helping people overcome trauma and addiction by addressing distressing, stressful, or triggering memories that impact sobriety, urges, cravings, or relapse.
During an EMDR session, professionals use guided psychotherapy to explore distressing memories while prompting the individual to focus on external stimuli, typically through bilateral stimulation using taps or sounds that help remove their stressful impact and destructive ramifications. EMDR is also great for exploring increased neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to adapt to new points of view and ideas, challenge previously held beliefs, and overcome self-destructive thoughts to support holistic change.

EMDR is also great for exploring increased neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to adapt to new points of view and ideas, challenge previously held beliefs, and overcome self-destructive thoughts to support holistic change.
Neurofeedback
During a neurofeedback session, nodes are placed on the head to measure brainwaves and the brain’s response to particular stimuli, thoughts, memories, and more. Those using this strategy can use this feedback to measure their responses and work to find new forms of calm and regulate brain function. This approach has been crucial in helping individuals feel in control, preventing relapse in addiction recovery while also successfully understanding difficult emotions, reducing cravings, and promoting greater emotional regulation.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is an evidence-based treatment to help you accept and contextualize a range of emotional needs, improving emotional regulation that may be challenged due to mental health disorders, addiction, or a combination of co-occurring disorders. This kind of psychotherapy involves learning to accept difficult emotions to gain control over their impact on your daily life, helping to contextualize difficult feelings of anxiety, depression, panic, guilt, and more, as well as finding healthy ways of processing these emotions.
Medication-Assisted Treatment and Evidence-Based Addiction Care
Medications and therapeutic interventions, when appropriate, are highly successful in treating addiction. Medications such as Acamprosate, Disulfiram, and Naltrexone can be used as pharmacotherapy as a brief intervention or for ongoing support. We focus on overdose prevention and symptom reduction.
Medication protocols are not one-size-fits-all, and medications can be used to reduce withdrawal symptoms or manage cravings. At Hawaii Island Recovery, medication is overseen by a board-certified medical director who ensures that medication use is in line with evidence-based protocols and with the treatment program as a whole.
