Outpatient Rehab in Hawaii: A Flexible Option for Care
Addiction recovery is an ongoing journey, and each person will navigate many steps in their pursuit of a sober future. Hawaii Island Recovery’s outpatient treatment services provide a way for you to pursue your sober goals while also tending to personal needs outside of our addiction treatment center. You will meet peers and professionals at our dedicated recovery center a few times a week while continuing to live on your own or with family or a loved one to maintain at-home responsibilities, professional obligations, and other duties.
Is There a Right Time to Participate in Outpatient Rehab?
Outpatient rehab can be an effective approach to healing for many. However, that does not mean everyone will approach outpatient alcohol rehab or drug rehab options the same way. These programs demand some personal responsibility and accountability. Outpatient care is most effective for those who have an educated and understanding at-home support system prepared to continue navigating sober change.
Likewise, an individual in outpatient care should have some effective coping skills practiced to navigate the stresses of addiction recovery in a place that is not necessarily curated for sobriety, making it ideal for those who have graduated from inpatient care and are looking to continue their journey overcoming drug addiction or alcohol addiction.
For those who either do not have a support system at home or who are still exposed to stresses that compromise sobriety without practiced ways of navigating these urges, cravings, and stresses, it may be beneficial to begin with a higher level of care in medical detox or residential treatment to have a safe space to practice these skills before moving to outpatient or an intensive outpatient program (IOP).
Outpatient rehab is just one phase of treatment, and the right time to participate in outpatient rehab will vary from person to person. While some with less severe needs in addiction recovery may begin their journey in outpatient care, others will have to work up to outpatient rehab after navigating other stages of rehab, such as after detoxification and inpatient care. Talking to one of Hawaii Island Recovery’s dedicated professionals about your needs, goals, and treatment options in recovery is the best way of exploring how you can benefit from outpatient rehab or if starting with another stage is more effective.
Medical Detox
This is typically the first stage of effective addiction recovery treatment and lasts about two weeks. During this time, you work with our providers to expel traces of addictive substances, navigate withdrawal symptoms, and begin to prepare strategies and relapse prevention plans. These symptoms can be difficult to overcome in outpatient care, and the around-the-clock supervision, recovery services, and behavioral health support of trained professionals can be necessary to overcome this difficult stage of recovery. Access to a rehab facility that specializes in medical detox can ensure that you begin your journey right.
Residential Treatment
Inpatient or residential programs are where you live on-site at a treatment facility, engaging in evidence-based treatment options like cognitive behavioral therapy and holistic options for a comprehensive treatment approach.
Engaging in residential treatment can be a transformative experience. Not only will you be able to practice new coping strategies, self-care, and life skills in a recovery-curated environment, but you will also meet peers overcoming their recovery challenges and creating a sense of camaraderie and community. This can deconstruct stigmas and promote the best ideas for coping skills, grounding strategies, self-care, and even daily routines in sobriety in a safe and supportive sober community.
Transitioning to Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient rehab provides the most freedom, but also exposure to the most stress, and you will be tasked with managing your daily routines, urges, and cravings while continuing to tend to responsibilities in sobriety. This transition can be challenging, and having the time and support to practice effective strategies in residential and detox can be necessary to effectively transition to outpatient care. However, our Hawaii rehab can help you take this opportunity to establish a truly new and transformed approach to daily life, incorporating what you learned in our programs and the spirit of aloha into your own daily life.

FAQs
Does insurance cover the cost of rehab?
Yes! Addiction is classified as a disease, so most health insurance plans will cover at least part of the healthcare costs of rehab. However, exactly how much insurance coverage a person will receive will depend on their unique health care plan. Calling our phone number and talking to one of our trained staff members can help you navigate the world of insurance and Medicaid, so there are no surprises when beginning your healing journey at Hawaii Island Recovery.
What is considered outpatient rehab?
Outpatient rehab is a program where those living outside of a treatment facility will travel to the facility to attend regular meetings before returning to life outside of the treatment facility. These programs are intended to provide support and ongoing treatment to those overcoming addiction and mental health disorders while also empowering those in recovery to tend to responsibilities outside the facility, commonly professional responsibilities or academic career.
Outpatient rehab also blends individual and group therapy, working with both professionals and peers alike to explore new ideas, perspectives, and strategies for balancing an ongoing sober life with personal challenges and stresses.
What is the difference between residential and outpatient rehab?
During residential treatment, a person lives on-site at a dedicated rehab facility, attending scheduled programs and enjoying amenities while putting in the hard work to overcome addiction, mental health disorders, trauma, and more. It is a curated, safe, and sober environment to practice skills and confront difficult vulnerabilities to begin healing and establishing a life free of addiction.
However, those in outpatient care will not live on-site. Rather, they will be responsible for enacting their own coping skills in the “real world” while attending regular meetings to update skills and engage in a dedicated sober community to establish a healthy and long-lasting sober future.
How long do you stay in outpatient rehab?
The length of any given outpatient rehab program will vary from person to person, depending on needs, stresses, progress, and more, but on average, these programs last between 30 and 90 days. However, a person is not out on their own after an outpatient program, and alumni opportunities and aftercare programs are always available to stay engaged and committed members of the sober community in Hawaii or at home.
Regardless of how long your stay is, outpatient rehab with us continues to embrace the spirit of healing across Hawaii, blending our unique culture with the spirit of aloha and ohana to create a truly transformative experience in recovery. It’s truly a healing experience unlike any other.
Do I need to live in Hawaii to get addiction treatment in Hawaii?
Not at all! Hawaii Island Recovery is open to anyone ready to further their healing journey. We offer programs to those all across the state, including Hilo, Maui, Honolulu, Kaneohe, and Kailua-Kona. However, our doors are also open to those coming from the continental states, providing a safe and luxurious place away from the stresses of your hometown to focus wholly on yourself and your healing.
Is outpatient treatment effective for co-occurring mental health disorders?
Yes! Each outpatient treatment program is personalized to address the unique needs of each person, all while connecting a person to the larger healing community in Hawaii and beyond. We continue to offer evidence-based therapies and treatment, and holistic healing options for those needing addiction and mental health treatment.
Likewise, we also offer ongoing trauma-informed care to address the ongoing effects of trauma and PTSD to help you build and maintain a healthy and fulfilling daily life in recovery. We understand that each person has their own journey, and there are always opportunities to explore your unique path, overcoming co-occurring disorders while working with peers and professionals to create effective healing from addiction and mental health challenges.
Does outpatient rehab support relapse prevention?
Outpatient programs can be great for those looking to update relapse prevention plans to maintain their hard-earned sobriety. These programs are designed to help not just prevent relapse and support ongoing sobriety, but also adjust to new stresses and challenges to overcome all kinds of trials in your sober journey. From updating grounding strategies to navigate urges and cravings to exploring self-care and mental health support, outpatient rehab is crucial in not just establishing a sober life outside of a treatment facility but also maintaining your overall wellness.
Outpatient treatment can be crucial for those balancing their needs in sobriety with personal and professional life, ensuring that there is always support available.
