I've worked in this field for 18 years and can honestly say that this is the best drug and alcohol rehab I've encountered. John and Nick are very involved, and Eliza is a highly skilled therapist. The house is immaculate, and the culture is healing and the modalities such as breathwork, cold plunge, vitamin IV's, NAD are highly effective. Definitely recommend Honu House Hawaii for Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation.

I am the Mother of a recovering addict; I have no words to describe my gratitude to the Honu House Hawaii And its team. My son struggled with drug addictions for over ten years.When I first called The Honu House, I spoke with John Burke; I explained the situation about my son, and he was kind, understanding, and knowledgeable of my son's needs. John checked up with my son days before my son got admitted into their program; John made sure my son was ok and safe. The level of care and commitment this team provides are above many other programs I have known. The communication was top-notch, I reside in a different state John and his team made it possible they answer all of my questions and concerns.The multidisciplinary team goes above and beyond. The team includes and involves the family in the recovery process. The goals and expectations of the patients are attainable.I am very pleased with the program. The program is based on group sessions, patient-specific therapy sessions, and the holistic approach which I believe is essential in improving health. Everyone is compassionate about their work starting with John, the therapists, the social workers the Psychiatrist, and the driver.Honu house provided structure, and a safe atmosphere, they made my son feel warmly cared for and comfortable he felt at home.The program set a healthy foundation that he can continue as he transitions into a healthy sober life.I have no words to describe my gratitude to The Honu House for all the work and compassion they have shown to my son and me.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) enable clients to live at home and continue working or attending school while also receiving robust therapeutic support for addiction. Clients attend multiple treatment sessions per week, where they typically receive a combination of psychotherapy, addiction education and recovery skills training, and evidence-based complementary care. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also available in many intensive outpatient rehabs. Treatment typically involves between nine and 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP is ideal for clients in early recovery.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

24-Hour Clinical Care

Due to the physical risks of detox, it is ideal to complete this stage of recovery in 24-hour clinical care in Hawaii. In this setting, medical professionals assist you every step of the way. Doctors and addiction specialists ensure that your detox process is as comfortable and safe as possible by treating physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal.

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox is the safest way to help rid your body of addictive substances. It takes place in an inpatient setting under the supervision of licensed medical professionals who monitor your vitals and provide any necessary medications to alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms. Typically, this is the first step in the addiction recovery process, and it is often followed by inpatient treatment.

Treatments

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

During dialectical behavior therapy in Hawaii, you'll focus on developing skills that allow you to manage daily life challenges. The main areas of focus are emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness.

Equine Therapy

Within a group therapy environment, people can see other individuals walk through a successful recovery and model behaviors that provide them with inspiration and practical examples of how to manage their addiction and maintain their sobriety within the community.

Customized individual therapy programs involve one on one sessions with a therapist to address the psychological aspects of addictive behavior. Your therapist uses evidence based treatment modalities to help you develop healthy coping strategies and manage addiction triggers within the community.

During couples therapy in Hawaii, your therapist may borrow techniques from multiple forms of therapy based on your needs. Methods may include cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused therapy. The ultimate goal of treatment is a stronger relationship.

Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Family therapy engages members in a collective effort to understand and combat addiction. Therapists help families establish healthy boundaries and improve emotional support systems. By working together, family members can help their loved one sustain long term recovery.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition therapy in Hawaii empowers you to gain control of your nutrition that has been thrown off balance by addiction. You'll discover what foods are best for recovery and how to restore and maintain nutritional balance.

Creative arts therapy offers a wide range of options to support substance abuse treatment in Hawaii. Options include writing music, reading poetry, drawing, acting, and sculpting.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in Hawaii is an important piece of most smokers' quit plans. It's available in multiple formats, so you can choose the one that's best for you. Most NRT products, such as patches and gum, are safe for nearly all nonpregnant adults.

I have been in and out of treatment centers and sober livings since 2003 before landing at Honu House by way of California in 2018 . Never before have I been able be apart of a community where I ve been afforded a foundation to succeed like I have at Honu House . Every other program I felt like I was getting taken advantage of , but at Honu House not only did I see where my money was reinvested back into myself but the upper management was involved in almost everyday of my stay there . The combination of Island life, those who work at Honu who have not become jaded in helping addicts like myself and are still passionate about what they do were the exact recipe I needed to recover .

Top notch integrity, respectful treatment of residents, beyond timely communication and extremely reasonable rates. Unfortunately, my son was not quite ready to tackle his recovery but John Burke - owner & operator - went above and beyond what we have experienced at several recovery type homes. His honesty, integrity, compassion and willingness are second to none. In recovery we learn early on that we cannot keep what we do not give away, well, John is sharing from a precious heart the gift of recovery he has received and desires to live out his program while helping others do the same. John and the Honu House have found a special place in my heart and this program will remain in my prayers

I cannot say enough good things about Honu House. My dad lived there for the better part of 7 months. John B and the staff sincerely care about their clients before, during, and after the stay. John is wealth of knowledge on all things addiction and is very well connected and respected in the community. The house is very large and has stunning full ocean views, transportation and food were provided. My dad also got to have some amazing experiences during the house outings like horseback riding, deep sea fishing, and hiking to beautiful places. This is the perfect place to heal.

HISL is where mystical, spiritual and practical life elements convene.John B is at the helm, as an ultra trustworthy guide, steering a ship of mighty people, through troublesome waters. Initially, he uses his own compass, while his crew regains their individual, trusty compasses. John B and his team, truly help a loved one navigate the rocky sea of substances. Can t think of a safer shore than this one John has established on the Big Island. All that s required here is a positive attitude, letting the journey begin, and a will and commitment to steer one s life in a healthy direction. We give all the stars in the sky to John B and his team! Mahalo, M

He decided on the island after moving out is now productive and healthy, maintaining the healthy habits he established during his stay at Honu house! The transformation has been truly amazing!

Hands down the finest sober living community on the face of the planet. In a world where recovery is primarily driven by the almighty dollar, Honu House stands alone as a place that truly caters to the care and growth of each resident. This place is a true gift from God above for anyone seeking sober support.
