Like other outpatient programs, participants attend individual and group sessions but do so most days of the week. Treatment also includes counseling, education, and recovery meetings.

Treatment

Alcoholism

Alcohol use disorder (AUD), also called alcoholism, can be mild, moderate, or severe. Symptoms include being unable to limit alcohol consumption and feeling strong cravings to drink alcohol. Individuals with AUD may have tried to quit drinking but were unsuccessful. Typically, professional rehab in Hawaii is necessary to help individuals overcome alcohol addiction. This treatment provides the necessary evidence-based therapies, medication, and support for long-term recovery.

Drug Addiction

Drug rehab in Hawaii is for individuals suffering from substance use disorders. Treatment addresses the many issues involved with addiction, typically through a combination of medical and psychotherapy treatments.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

In Hawaii, substance abuse treatment programs address addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Care levels include outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, equine therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, skills training, and recovery groups can help you to establish a solid recovery and develop a support system (or strengthen an existing one) to increase your chances of long-term recovery success.

Level of Care

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) enable clients to continue to live at home and, often, to work while also receiving robust therapeutic support. 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.

Outpatient

Clients receiving treatment in an outpatient rehab typically require less intensive support and supervision than do persons in inpatient care. Many have already completed inpatient programs and are weeks or months along in their recovery journey. Outpatient treatment generally involves the continuation of treatments begun in inpatient care, including addiction counseling and life skills development. Some outpatient programs also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery.

Clinical Services

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
