Do You Need to Detox?
Detox safely and comfortably under the supervision of a board-certified addictionologist in Hawaii.
Detoxing Alone Is Dangerous
Anytime your body develops a chemical dependency on alcohol, opiates, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, cocaine, amphetamines, or any other substance, the first step to recovery is detox.
No matter how committed you are to your recovery, however, it’s important to never attempt this first step alone. That’s because detoxing without medical supervision can be dangerous and painful.
The physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms that you may experience when detoxing alone could include nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, seizures, anxiety, bone and joint pain, overwhelming cravings, and suicidal thoughts. In some cases, withdrawing from particular substances too quickly can even be fatal.
Detoxing alone is rarely successful… but it doesn’t have to be that way. At Hawaii Island Recovery, we offer a better, safer way to detox and embark on your journey to recovery.
A Safer Way to Detox
Detox doesn’t have to be scary or painful. We offer a straightforward path to addiction recovery that begins with a safer, more comfortable way to detox.
Step 1: Speak with Our Addictionologist
Our addictionologist is a board-certified doctor who can assess you and help you determine the best way to detox, as well as prescribe any medications that could safely and effectively keep you comfortable as you detox.
Step 2: Detox in a Safe Environment
Detox on the beautiful, healing island of Hawaii under the care of medical professionals who can monitor you for signs of danger and help you manage withdrawal symptoms as you detox safely and comfortably.
Step 3: Continue with Therapy
After detoxing, it’s time to address the underlying causes of addiction with evidence-based and experiential therapies in both group and individual settings for a holistic treatment approach that supports your lasting recovery.
Does Detox Hurt?
Detox and withdrawal can be painful when attempted on your own, which is why so many attempts to detox alone ultimately fail. Fortunately, we offer you several ways to prioritize your comfort, keep you safe, and increase your chances of a successful detox.
✔ A Personalized Plan – Quitting cold turkey isn’t always the safest way to detox. We minimize your discomfort by guiding you towards the right detox plan for you, even if it’s a long-term approach.
✔ Suboxone Prescriptions – When appropriate, our board-certified physician is licensed to prescribe Suboxone, a versatile adjunct to your detox and addiction treatment that can minimize the symptoms of both withdrawal and chronic pain.
✔ Chronic Pain Management Plan – Our medical team will evaluate you to establish a chronic pain management plan that reduces your risk of prescription medication abuse while still providing effective pain relief.
✔ Comfortable Detox Environment – Instead of detoxing in a harsh and uncomfortable hospital, we’ll invite you to recover safely in our beautiful and relaxing treatment resort on the healing island of Hawaii.
Detox and Chronic Pain Management
Sciatica. Back pain. Migraine headaches. Injuries. Chronic pain of any kind can be debilitating and is often treated with highly addictive opiates and sedatives. Unfortunately, this can lead to increased tolerance, dependency, problematic drug use, and addiction.
If that’s your story, detoxing may feel like an impossible first step. After all, won’t your chronic pain flare up and make detoxing unbearable? If you attempt to quit cold turkey on your own, yes, that will probably be the case. But at Hawaiian Island Recovery, we offer a better way.
Before starting your detox, you’ll undergo a comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation for chronic pain. Then, we’ll utilize the latest advances in medication and mind-body medicine to determine the most effective non-addictive pain management protocols for you.
This ensures we can treat your chronic pain safely and effectively with pain management you can trust, even while detoxing from addictive medications. The outcome? A more successful, comfortable, and safe detox for an easier first step on your road to recovery.
