HIR does not accept insurance; however we provide a professional billing service to help with your acceptance into the program, insurance remittance and working with you on any appeals.
Our programs range from 30, 60, 90 to even 120 days. Our average client stays for 60 – 90 days. The program was designed for 90 days.
Within the first 30 days, our clients spend most of their time detoxing and healing. This doesn't leave much time to take an active part in our program or in their own recovery. By 60 days, our clients are able to work on themselves and their recovery. After 90 days our clients are able to effectively apply what they have learned from the community-based therapy and apply it to their day-to-day lives.
HIR recommends that clients take advantage of our aftercare program. A critical part of the program involves a team member assisting the client home and re-introducing them into their community. It can be difficult for a recently rehabilitated person to face all of their previous challenges alone, without assistance. Additional charges apply.
The client will receive a phone call or email. The email will include our contact information and a contact person. We'll address any questions and concerns while constructing an intake profile. The next step is to fill-out the pre-admission form and arrange the payment details. The travel arrangements will need to be organized once payment is arranged. When a client arrives at the airport, we will have staff waiting to welcome them and begin the recovery process.
Upon arrival at the center, they will be introduced to the team who run the center. After that, we will conclude some paperwork that needs to be completed and then the client will meet the other clients in the center. Our goal in the first day is to make our client feel comfortable and confident with their decision to get the help they need.

In medicine, an addiction is a chronic neurobiological disorder that has genetic, psychosocial, and environmental dimensions and is characterized by one of the following: the continued use of a substance despite its detrimental effects, impaired control over the use of a drug (compulsive behavior), and preoccupation with a drug's use for non-therapeutic purposes (i.e. craving the drug). Addiction may be accompanied by the presence of deviant behaviors (for instance stealing money and forging prescriptions) that are used to obtain a drug.
If you or someone you know continually uses a substance such as a drug or alcohol, despite the harmful effects it may be causing, this is a good indication that there is an addiction. A greater indication is if the user of the substance is unable to stop using the substance, possibly even going to extreme measures in order to get what they feel like they need. In fact, if the substance is “needed”, that is a good indication of an addiction.
The answer to this varies depending on each client. It can be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on many different variables such as the substance used, the amount and duration of use, and the physical health of the client. Hawaii Island Recovery provides a safe medical detoxification that will keep our client as comfortable as possible.
During the detoxification period, our clients are unable to take part in many of the programs that we offer. Upon completion of the detoxification period, our clients are able to take part in our daily schedule and utilize the center to its fullest potential.
We have a world class gym with top-of-the-line equipment.
Many excursions are available once the detoxification process is completed. Details and pictures can be found on the website, but here is a brief listing of what can be expected: Beautiful beaches, deep-sea fishing, whale watching, snorkeling, golf, hiking and an assortment of natural wonders for our clients to enjoy.
A typical program will include the following:
-
Psychological & psychiatric services
-

After 2 weeks guests are allowed provided that at least 24-hours notice has been given.
There is a Sunday BBQ at which guests are always welcome from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
This is definitely allowed, depending on availability, but we insist on separate rooms. Additional charges may apply.
Laptops are not allowed, but we do provide our clients with an online computer in our common area.
Our clients are encouraged to invest time into their recovery. We believe it is counter-productive for our clients to work at an outside job while in our recovery center.

We are accessible 24/7. Someone is always available to answer questions.
The client is encouraged to speak with the Senior Resident or the Resident Manager. If an emergency arises, the Program Director will be contacted.
Because the first few days can be a little overwhelming, the Senior Resident is there to help our clients understand the rules. Senior Residents are a great source of information as they have been through our program and are familiar with the center, the rules, the regulations and the daily procedures.

Absolutely. It’s crucial for our clients that they have time available for self-introspection and contemplation. It is for this reason that we have made Tuesday and Thursday lighter days. On Saturdays clients go on an exploration expedition somewhere on the island. Sunday is a BBQ and time to socialize with families and friends.

We are happy to work with our clients to arrange the travel, or clients can book their own travel. We are located in Kailua-Kona, on the big island of Hawaii. The airport code is KOA. Delta Airlines and United Airlines both offer regularly scheduled flights to the island. Click Here to see a map.
Absolutely. We will have a staff member present at the airport with a sign that contains the name of the client. The airport is small, so it’s easy for the client to identify the staff member. The client will then be brought to the center.
Clients remain at the center, especially during the detoxification period. Once they are able to move about, we integrate them into a “community-based program” which allows our clients to leave our gated community with a group and attend recovery functions. Leaving is done in groups of three, in conjunction with the staff. The groups often go into town, or plan excursions with our managers.
Much of the therapy and physical activities are done outside of the residence. It is important and beneficial for our clients to experience Hawaii and the life of the people who live and recover here.
We accept all forms of payment:
-
Cash.
-
Certified or cashier's checks. No personal checks are accepted.
-
Wire Transfer.
-
Credit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express.

We limit ourselves to between 10 – 14 clients at any given time. This number depends on the relative availability of single and double occupancies. Our programs are designed for each individual and we make sure everyone receives the personal attention they require.
There is no waiting period. Client’s can be accepted immediately, based upon room availability.
A personal chef prepares nutritional dinners featuring the freshest local cuisine of the island.
Clients are involved with menu planning, shopping, preparing, and cooking.
Nutritional classes are offered weekly.
Our dress code is casual. Shirts, shorts and sandals are fine. Bring your bathing suit for lying by the pool. We do not allow for any clothing which promotes sex, alcohol, drugs, violence or gambling.
There is no set curfew time. Clients are given the option of writing in their journal, studying or chatting with other clients. In other words, our clients are free to determine how they spend their free time within the confines of being respectful to others. Corrective action will be taken if music or talking is deemed to be disruptive to others.
After the detoxification program has been completed, the day begins at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at 7:00 a.m. at a beautiful location by the ocean’s edge.
Unfortunately, there are times when a client may be discharged early. This can occur if a client has been involved in stealing, fighting, gambling or sexual conduct.
Disciplinary action is enforced when or if it is required. This is an important part of the recovery process that shows the clients that Hawaii Island Recovery is serious about their recovery. It allows for rule enforcement and provides structure in the center. Most importantly, it ensures the safety and security of our staff, clients and guests.
Disciplinary action may come in the following forms:
• A warning
• A warning
• A loss of privileges
• Extra duties
• Fines
• Early discharge
Clients are expected to participate in all aspects of the daily program. Our program is tailored to give the client their greatest chance at a full recovery. The only exceptions are during detoxification and illness.
Hawaii Island Recovery operates as a state-of-the-art community-based treatment program. Community-based treatment incorporates individual and group therapy in a private setting while utilizing community facilities for twelve- step programs and for exercise. Hawaii Island Recovery believes that recovery is necessary for the mind, body and spirit and offers programs tailored for each component. Residents are not confined to the property, but are guided into the community as part of their recovery and are encouraged to become active members of society.
