The Beautiful Treatment Centre in the Paradise of Hawaii

Hawaii Island Recovery clients reside in private, luxurious local residences while receiving assessments, treatment, and monitoring from our community-based team off-site. We offer single and double-occupancy accommodations. Gone is the institutional environment of typical residential treatment centers. Begin your life again surrounded by beauty and luxury.

We ensure that there are no more than 10 clients at any given time to ensure that each client receives the attention they require. Meals are always a special experience. We prepare or cater island favorites as well as traditional catered dinners. Families are as important as the individual. Families are welcome to visit and we do offer family counseling.

Aloha and thank you for taking the time to read this post. As the Clinical Director and Managing Partner of Hawaii Island Recovery, I want to take this opportunity to share this information with all who may be seeking relief for themselves or a loved one. I strongly believe that those seeking recovery from a painful life situation will find great value in the approach offered at HIR. We began this program to fully utilize all tools currently available to ensure that a person’s time and effort at this facility will achieve maximum personal growth and recovery. With that in mind, we have established a vertically integrated approach to recovery and a clean and sober lifestyle, including all the best of both traditional and alternative methods of treatment.

It is our philosophy that people can and should be allowed to recover with dignity and respect. We are not the traditional whitewall clinical setting. We chose the magnificent Island of Hawaii to provide our clients with a serenely safe place away from the pressures and congestions of their lives at home. We provide only the finest amenities at our luxurious residence, situated to take full advantage of the healing sounds of the Pacific waves, magnificent sunrises over the mountains and expansive tropical sunsets, all of which contribute to an atmosphere conducive to self-reflection and healing. We also make a point of taking your recovery to the next level by conducting many of our treatments in the community outside of the residence. This ensures that the skills learned here are practiced in “real world” settings. This is a great help to our clients upon their return home. The practical experience with sober living skills HIR gives them in public environments help eliminate the shock of reentry experienced by others when leaving the completely insulated environment generally offered in traditional recovery settings.

During our clients’ stay, varied treatment modalities are provided. These include medically supervised detoxification, nutritional support and counseling, individual psychiatric and psychological treatment, EFT training, group therapy and education sessions. Taking advantage of our location in the heart of paradise, we also offer 12-step community-based meetings and support by the ocean side, once-in-a-lifetime hiking opportunities, and recreational activities that take advantage of Hawaii Island’s spectacular beaches and the surrounding ocean. We also have a full service gym that provide a personal trainer once a week and offer holistic healing approaches such as massage, acupuncture, hypnosis, Reiki, yoga, and meditation.

Our commitment to leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of recovery for all includes a comprehensive approach from our initial contact until well after our clients have returned home. We remain dedicated to the long-term sobriety and emotional stability of our clients all throughout the entire process of their rehabilitation – from the pre-treatment, the actual treatment program (which is available in 30, 60, 90 and more days of tenure depending on the individual client’s needs), all the way to our unique aftercare program which supports clients as they reenter their home environment.

All in all, we have the best of the best AND we will back it up with a guarantee. If you or a loved one come through the 90-day program and graduate from the 30 day aftercare program, we guarantee the results. If relapse occurs within the first year, we will offer a one-week refresher program.

I sincerely hope that you or your loved one will take advantage of the life-altering gift offered here at Hawaii Island Recovery. Life can and should be an experience filled with hope and joy. No matter where a person is now, it is possible to recover and go on living a life of passion and fulfillment.

Sincerely,

John Hibscher, PhD

I feel guilty for being so busy in the past couple of years and not keeping in touch with some of my closest college friends. This guilty feeling was sparked by my recent encounter with Mel, one of my best buddies in college. We parted ways after college with the promise of keeping in touch and trying to see each other regularly. Admittedly, I’m the one who didn’t keep my part of the promise because I allowed my work to occupy most of my waking hours for the past years.

I bumped into Mel at the hospital last week and [...] Continue Reading…

I look forward to our next family reunion not only because I miss spending time with my aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces but also because I want to hear more about one of my teenage cousin’s gambling problem. My aunt told my mom briefly in their phone conversation about the gambling addiction help she was trying to seek for her young son who seemed to be hooked on online gaming.

My mom relayed to me certain details of their phone conversation but she couldn’t answer all the questions I had about my cousin’s gambling addiction and how it developed [...] Continue Reading…

No mother would ever wish for her son to be a drug addict but once he has become a hardened drug dependent, he is better off locked up in jail or in a well-guarded drug addiction treatment center. I recently met a mother who openly admitted that she’s relieved that her son is now in a drug rehab.

She described the horrible episode in her family’s life when her son was at his worst peak of Crystal Meth addiction. She said that the drug had transformed her son into a monster she no longer knew. He had become “aggressive, crazy [...] Continue Reading…

What is undeniably the most popular and most controversial illegal drug in America, and probably in other parts of the world as well, is what is colloquially known as pot, weed, grass or joint. It is more widely known as Marijuana, the drug made from the Cannabis sativa plant, which has the main psychoactive substance tetrahydrocannabinol or THC.

Marijuana is a habit-forming and addictive substance, and it is not easy to quit once you have become psychologically and physically dependent on the drug. Marijuana addiction is treated in many drug addiction treatment centers, but the longer exposure and dependence on [...] Continue Reading…

Substance abuse has become a prevalent problem in most cities around the world because of the highly addictive qualities of various illegal substances and the degree of peer pressure especially among kids. Students are very susceptible to peer pressure and recent studies show that one out of five high school seniors has experienced getting high on drugs while one out of ten 8th graders has used illegal drugs, including inhalants or huffing substances such as spray paint, gasoline, vapors and household products to get high.

This should alarm many parents to be more observant of their children and be attuned [...] Continue Reading…

There’s a drug addiction treatment center that provides the utmost privacy for high profile patients such as actors, athletes, politicians and other prominent personalities as well as their immediate family. Of course, other drug rehabs also value the privacy of their clients but there’s nothing like a substance abuse treatment center that puts premium on the confidentiality of who enters through its doors to seek professional help for their addiction problems.

This particular drug rehab facility crossed my mind this afternoon after a friend of mine shared her encounter with a TV actor who was apparently high on drugs during [...] Continue Reading…

In dealing with gambling addictions, we encounter the different types of gambling problems that can have devastating effects on people’s lives. Some people might think that a gambling problem cannot be as severe as other kinds of addiction such as alcoholism and drug addiction, but what they don’t know is that gambling addiction has its own severity of psychiatric, emotional, social, financial and personal damage to an addict’s life as well as to the lives of the people closest to him.

A person who has developed a compulsive gambling habit should seek gambling addiction help in a qualified gambling rehab [...] Continue Reading…

I have been traveling a lot for the past month, moving around in different cities and states to complete the research I’m doing. During the course of my study, I discovered that there are alcohol treatment centers in almost all of the places I visited. If there’s one thing this finding would point to, it is that the proliferation of alcohol rehabs in almost every city in the country is due to the rising cases of alcohol addiction problems.

Alcoholism is one of the most common cases of substance abuse, and this addiction is usually difficult to detect because people [...] Continue Reading…

I was doing my groceries the other night when I bumped into an old high school friend who used to be one of the most popular students in our batch. After we exchanged greetings and chatted about what we’d been up to ever since we parted ways for college, we decided to continue our conversation over dinner at a nearby restaurant.

We both quickly finished our grocery shopping and agreed to meet at the restaurant in half an hour. I must say that I was really excited to touch base with her again after such a long time of not [...] Continue Reading…
