About Hawaii Island Recovery
Hawaii Island Recovery provides residential addiction care for adults on the beautiful island of Kona. They offer evidence-based treatment, medically supervised detox, holistic and experiential therapies, and outpatient continuing care. Hawaii Island Recovery also treats co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as behavioral addictions like sex and gambling. Their programs are founded on 3 elements designed to treat the whole person: clinical care, holistic health, and recreational activities.
Comprehensive Addiction and Mental Healthcare
Treating only 8 clients at a time, their personalized recovery programs offer medical, mental health, and therapeutic services. Highly trained medical professionals oversee the detox process, supported by nursing staff available 24/7. After completing detox, clients transition into residential programming to begin individual and group talk therapy. Hawaii Island Recovery’s therapists utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). They provide compassionate trauma-informed care with techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Neurofeedback. To create a cohesive recovery community, Hawaii Island Recovery encourages community-based support through 12-Step meetings and Dharma recovery meetings.
Holistic Healing with Experiential Modalities
Hawaii Island Recovery uses experiential therapies as a therapeutic group modality to inspire emotions and insights contributing to long-term recovery. Their offerings include educational experiences in Hawaiian culture and nature-based therapies. Clients embark on hikes through cloud forests that reveal stunning ocean views, lava fields, and tucked away waterfalls. On the ocean, clients engage in dolphin-assisted therapy and whale watching. Trips and excursions respect and celebrate local communities.
Tranquil Recovery on Kona
Located on the westernmost point of the Big Island, Hawaii Island Recovery offers spectacular ocean views and a comfortable healing destination. Spacious bedrooms, chef-prepared meals with locally-sourced food, and a beautiful yard with lush plants and fruit trees make Hawaii Island Recovery an ideal recovery home.
