Men’s Transitional Living Options at Hawaii Island Recovery

Overcoming substance abuse, substance use disorder (SUD), and addressing mental health needs is complicated. Even men ready and willing to explore treatment for their health and overcome addiction can find it difficult to find a space to engage in healing while feeling safe and supported. Hawaii Island Recovery offers transitional living and a sober living house to men continuing their healing journey so they can best focus on their healing while continuing to learn new skills and strategies for a sustainable sober life. 

Healing from addiction, mental health disorders, or co-occurring disorders is a difficult journey. Having the right support that encourages holistic change and deconstructs barriers can empower you to make the most of your efforts and energy in recovery, leading to sustainable, transformative change. 

Men often confront unique challenges that can shape how they view themselves and their roles and expectations. Often, they can be tied to what the idea of being “masculine” means. For example, suppressing personal feelings and needs is common in men, especially in communities or families where expressing emotions is still seen as a stigmatized sign of weakness, leading to unhealthy coping strategies or unaddressed mental health needs. Some other specific challenges that men may encounter include:

A male-only environment can be a great start to deconstructing stigmas and finding peers ready to address these unique challenges of men in recovery.

In addition to pervasive stigmas around social norms for men that can be harmful to your recovery, mental health, and sobriety, men also have other unique needs. Mental health support, difficulty opening up, limited access to a community where vulnerability is accepted and celebrated, and addressing personal traumas can all be unique challenges. 

Traditional “masculine” environments may also celebrate unhealthy use of drugs or alcohol, informing addiction or further making it difficult to engage in effective recovery. Dedicating a space to the challenges that men face in overcoming substance abuse and mental health disorders can help challenge stigmas and ensure that men feel understood rather than as if they will be judged when expressing needs and personal goals. 

Transitional living for men at Hawaii Island Recovery has many advantages for men continuing to navigate their healing, including: 

Having access to men-specific transitional living programs can help you focus wholly on your recovery and challenges while empowering you to explore your sober identity in a safe and understanding environment, challenge gender social norms, and set your own sober and personal goals.

Dedicated men’s group therapy is also instrumental in healing and can help you better ingratiate yourself into a recovery community by tearing down unnecessary barriers. Group therapy can help you find other men who intimately understand the gender-specific challenges of men in recovery, providing a place of understanding, sympathy, and belonging without harmful stereotypes or expectations.
