Alcohol and most drugs are potentially toxic substances, particularly when used in excess. With chronic abuse, the human body adapts to the presence of these substances in an effort to counter their lethal effects. When alcohol or drugs are stopped, extreme care must be taken to ensure a safe withdrawal. Detoxification or “detox” refers to the acute phase of the withdrawal process that can be both uncomfortable and dangerous and may require medical intervention. For some patients, a “detox” protocol of prescribed medication may be required to ensure the client is safely “detoxed” with minimal discomfort.

Removing yourself from the stressors and triggers of daily life is essential in early recovery. Most of our clients have tried to get sober in their home communities and have failed to achieve lasting sobriety. A change in environment is not only conducive to breaking old patterns and habits, it also reduces exposure to the external triggers that most likely perpetuated the cycle of addiction.

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 with 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.
