Is Residential treatment right for me?

Residential treatment may be appropriate for you if your efforts to moderate or stop using on your own or in a less restrictive treatment setting such as an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) were unsuccessful. Most people who enter residential treatment have had multiple attempts at getting sober and have not been able to sustain their sobriety at what we term a “lower level of care.” The decision to enter residential treatment is often precipitated by a crisis. This may take many forms, including the loss of important relationships, negative consequences to one’s health and mental health, and legal and financial issues. This is what many people refer to as “the bottom.” When circumstances conspire to bring a person into an awareness that they can’t keep doing what they’re doing, this is the opening for real recovery. 

Residential treatment provides a safe, supervised, and compassionate community in which to recover. Removed from the stressors and triggers that have kept you locked in unhealthy coping patterns, you have the opportunity to focus on yourself-  to better understand the factors that have contributed to your addiction and heal the wounds that have compelled you to use. Addiction thrives in isolation, and a residential setting is the antidote to suffering alone. 

Our Intake team can help you decide if residential treatment is the right choice for you.

Medically Supervised Detoxification

Medically Supervised Detox in Hawaii

To break free from addiction, one must physically detox from an addictive substance.  While this is not a replacement for treatment, it is the vital first step.  We offer a safe and straightforward path from active addiction to sobriety.  At Hawaii Island Recovery, you will detox safely under the supervision of a board-certified addictionologist charged with creating a safe and comfortable detox protocol to get you from active addiction into the early stages of sobriety. 

Experiential Cultural Programming

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a therapeutic group modality that engages our patients in activities designed to inspire feeling states and insights that will help foster long-term recovery. Active addiction often results in disconnection from one’s community, peers, family, and perhaps most consequentially, from oneself.
