Men's Transitional Living Options at Hawaii Island Recovery

Men’s Transitional Living Options

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.

Why a Male-Only Space Can Be Essential to Recovery

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:

Stereotypes and stigma

Men are often less social

Stresses related to what their “gender role” should be

Difficulty with asking for help

Men are more likely to abuse substances

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.

Men Have Different Needs Than Women

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does treatment cost?

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. The cost of treatment is dependent on the length of stay and the level of care that is deemed medically necessary to support your recovery.

How can I verify my insurance?

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.

What is detoxification, or “DETOX”?

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.

What are the benefits of flying away from home for treatment?

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.

What is the length of stay?

How can I deal with trauma / PTSD?

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.
