Detox in Hawaii

Safety in numbers is very true when it comes to alcohol and drug rehab. This includes the number of professionals who can aid in the detox process. Many people ignore the essential factor of safety when it comes to recovery, especially safety in the detox process. The reality is that medically supervised detoxification is vital if one is to fully recover and stay safe through substance abuse treatment. 

The essential first step of recovery is willingness; the next step should always focus on safety. While some people may not require detox services, many others will. It depends on the level and duration of your (or your loved one’s) addiction, the severity of withdrawal symptoms, and your unique needs in your addiction treatment program.

For example, if you are struggling with issues of alcohol use disorder, benzodiazepine addiction, or opioid addiction, it can be critical that a medically supervised detoxification takes place. Detoxing from these substances can not only be painful, but it can even be deadly. Dedicated treatment plans at our detox centers in Hawaii can provide support and safety during this difficult time of change. Our detox center and treatment facility also help you address withdrawal symptoms and emotional needs as you begin your healing journey. 

The concept of detoxification is relatively straightforward. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “Detoxification is a set of interventions aimed at managing acute intoxication and withdrawal. It denotes a clearing of toxins from the body of the patient who is acutely intoxicated and/or dependent on substances of abuse. Detoxification seeks to minimize the physical harm caused by the abuse of substances.”

Depending on the severity of addiction, you may feel comfortable trying to “detox” on your own. However, this can be extremely dangerous. It can even lead to cardiac arrest or, in some instances, alcohol withdrawal syndrome and a state of psychosis. Besides these more extreme outcomes, it will also be much more uncomfortable than it needs to be. There is no replacement for the comfort, care, and education provided by a professional treatment center. Our detox centers in Hawaii create a supportive environment for your healing. 

Here at Hawaii Island Recovery, we have board-certified specialists and providers who focus on addiction medicine and detoxification. They are uniquely qualified to assess your individual needs and determine the right plan of action and effective treatment services and options, which may include a safe, medically supervised detox in Hawaii.

It is important to remember that addiction is a disease that affects all parts of the “Self” — the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. A responsible detox will address both emotional needs, behavioral health needs, and physical needs. For example, many people don’t realize just how taxing addiction can be on the body, both externally and internally.

This means that essential hydration, vitamins, and nutrients must be safely replenished when one begins their journey at one of our detox centers in Hawaii. Now, this is especially true with alcohol use disorder (AUD). According to the peer-reviewed journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, “Chronic alcoholic patients are frequently deficient in one or more vitamins. The deficiencies commonly involve folate, vitamin B6, thiamine, and vitamin A…. Alcoholism can affect the absorption, storage, metabolism, and activation of many of these vitamins.” A medically supervised detox in Hawaii ensures that these replenishment measures are handled safely and immediately.

Now, the fact of the matter is that relapse is a very real part of recovery, and much more common than many people think. According to the peer-reviewed journal Current Psychiatry Reports, “It has long been known that addictive disorders are chronic and relapsing in nature. Recent estimates from clinical treatment studies suggest that more than two-thirds of individuals relapse within weeks to months of initiating treatment.” Also, “For 1-year outcomes across alcohol, nicotine, weight, and illicit drug abuse, studies show that more than 85% of individuals relapse and return to drug use within 1 year of treatment.”

Many of these relapses occur early in the recovery process because the supervision and tools are not in place to help you through the intensity of the detox process. There is no way around it — detoxing from alcohol and substances is uncomfortable. However, with the right professional supervision, health care, and support in navigating withdrawal symptoms and cravings, detox and recovery can be highly manageable and significantly less physically and emotionally painful. Our detox centers in Hawaii can also help each person transition to further care in inpatient or residential treatment in Hawaii, or to outpatient treatment and aftercare programs to maintain healthy, sober change. 

Our treatment programs and detox centers in Hawaii always start with a personalized assessment. This assessment takes into account much more than the fact that alcohol or substances are being used. It looks at medical concerns, signs and symptoms of addiction and withdrawal, personal challenges, and assesses future goals to ensure that the treatment plan at our addiction treatment center is the right one for you.

Our safe and comfortable detox centers in Hawaii create an ideal environment in which to begin addiction rehab alongside medical professionals. Recovery does not end with detox; that is where the real healing can begin. At Hawaii Island Recovery, our detox program is designed to go into the next stages of treatment and therapy, whether it be residential treatment or outpatient treatment programs in Hawaii. Professional supervision at our rehab centers can also help address symptoms of dual diagnosis in addition to our medical detox in Hawaii, to create a personalized and uniquely Hawaiian start to each person’s journey. 

Our program uses a variety of evidence-based treatments, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) that includes Suboxone and buprenorphine for opioid addiction, Wellbutrin for methamphetamine addiction, and Naltrexone for alcohol addiction.

The cost of our luxury rehabs in Hawaii will vary from person to person. Factors like the length of your stay, as well as your healthcare and insurance coverage, all factor into the cost.

Yes! Hawaii Island Recovery proudly accepts private insurance providers to help manage the cost of effective treatment. While the cost can still vary with these policies, we are ready to work with you.

Our staff is experienced in navigating insurance policies and can assist with any questions or concerns you may have about coverage and payment options. We are committed to making quality addiction treatment accessible and affordable for everyone seeking recovery.

The length of your stay can vary depending on several factors, from the severity of alcohol addiction to underlying mental health disorders, trauma, and experience in recovery before. However, programs typically begin with our medical detox program, which lasts one to two weeks. 

Hawaii Island Recovery has an expert staff with accreditation in their fields. Our team will help guide you through the detox process. We will work with you each day to explore the effects of addiction and develop a personalized plan, all while navigating daily change. Recovery is also rarely a straight line. It is common to have good days and bad days, and managing expectations can help each person continue putting their next foot forward in recovery despite difficult days and unexpected hurdles. Good days will pass and bring new challenges, just as bad days will pass and bring new triumphs. 

Next, rehab is an ongoing journey. Completing detox in Hawaii doesn’t mean that your journey with recovery has ended, or that a person is “cured” of addiction. There will still be hard work to do in the next levels of care. Consistent support and dedication are essential for long-term success in maintaining sobriety.

These programs are meant to bolster communication strategies at home, provide education about addiction, and address underlying needs to reach new levels of understanding and sympathy while helping family members support a sober loved one at home and make necessary changes. 

Luxury rehabs often have more amenities and accommodations made for a more personalized approach to overcoming addiction and personal needs.
