Hawaii Island Recovery 
Hawaii Island Recovery is a licensed, 8 bed, special treatment facility on the Big Island of Hawaii. Hawaii Island Recovery combines the most effective treatment modalities to support recovery and long-term sobriety. These include medically supervised detox, evidence-based psychotherapies (EMDR and CBT), and holistic and experiential therapies. Progressive treatment in a serene environment that is conducive to healing the wounds of addiction, trauma, depression, and chronic pain is their goal.
Hawaii Island Recovery offers a very intimate setting, housing only 8 beds within the facility. Because of the small size, this facility allows for highly individualized treatment. With a
low client-to-staff ratio, the facility offers individualized care provided by a professional staff in a supervised environment. Integral to Hawaii Island Recovery’s treatment program are therapies and recreational activities
that interface clients with the natural wonders of the Big Island. From the unique Dolphin-Assisted Psychotherapy program that takes place
in Hawaii’s warm coastal waters, to the experiential nature-based
therapy, which may take place in a rainforest, a lava tube or a remote beach, Hawaii Island Recovery encourages interaction with the natural environment to foster feelings of serenity and connection, and inspire clients
to embrace life.
The success rate at Hawaii Island Recovery for clients who remain sober for more than one year, is over 78%. To be successful in recovery and prevent relapse, it is imperative to identify and address the hidden depths of pain that manifest into addictions. Jean-Paul Sartre said, “Freedom is what we do with what’s been done to us.” In addition to genetic predisposition, addictions become part of a defensive pattern to numb painful emotions related to past traumas, both large and small, which are unresolved and triggered in the present.
