Effective Addiction Treatment

Your insurer may cover some or all of the cost of treatment. Depending on your carrier and policy, you may be responsible for the deductible and there may also be a co-pay. Cost of treatment is dependent on the length of stay and the level of care that is deemed medically necessary to support your recovery.

Hawaii Island Recovery is able to accept most insurance plans. Depending on your carrier and your individual plan, the extent of coverage will vary. To determine whether your insurance will cover some or all of the cost of treatment, you are urged to contact Hawaii Island Recovery today and speak with one of our Intake Coordinators or to fill out the “Verification of Benefits” form on our website. We will work quickly to ascertain your eligibility for insurance coverage for treatment with Hawaii Island Recovery.

Length of stay refers to the number of days a person is in residential treatment. Hawaii Island Recovery offers 30, 60 and 90-day treatment programs, with 90 days being the optimal length of stay to achieve long-term sobriety.

The majority of our clients who enter treatment for substance abuse have a co-occurring mental health disorder. Most commonly, our clients also suffer from depression, anxiety, and PTSD. In the majority of cases, we have found that underlying all of these conditions is a history of trauma that may include childhood abuse and neglect, sexual abuse and domestic violence. In our experience, it is imperative to aggressively treat the underlying trauma to reduce the risk of relapse after treatment. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based technique that has been demonstrated to effectively treat trauma at its source. Hawaii Island Recovery offers EMDR provided by a highly trained clinical staff in addition to CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) another effective therapeutic modality for the treatment of trauma.

Ocean Based Therapy is a unique offering that introduces our clients to wild Hawaiian Spinner dolphins. This experience may be terrifying, exhilarating or inspiring, but you can be sure our clients feel something new in these unscripted encounters. Because addiction generally serves to numb our feelings, part of the recovery process is to begin to feel again. While the experience is different for every client, with the coaching of the therapist, the encounter invariably becomes a springboard for deeper exploration into the emotional and spiritual dimensions of addiction and a venue to reconnect with feelings of joy, belonging, acceptance and serenity.
