The Ohana Addiction Treatment Center

About The Ohana Addiction Treatment Center

The Ohana Addiction Treatment Center is located in Kailua Kona, Hawaii on the West Coast of Hawaii Island, often referred to as the Big Island. Ohana is a Hawaiian word that means “family” which is how you’re treated at their facility. They provide a resort style luxury rehab campus on the seaside. The area is known for its amazing weather, making it a unique and peaceful place to experience your recovery journey.

A Peaceful Environment Supports Recovery

They believe that the environment is important to your healing process. The campus has a total of over 6,000 square feet for your wellness and enjoyment. They offer an alcohol, drug, and dual diagnosis treatment program designed to meet your needs. Your program begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify your challenges and create a comprehensive program.

Premium Amenities and Features at This Hawaii Rehab

They have a high staff to client ratio and amenities that include gourmet dining and spa services. Your program starts with detox and counseling and can integrate holistic treatments such as yoga and meditation. But one of their key differentiators is the high quality clinicians and staff that have a deep understanding of the complexities of addiction and are dedicated to providing you with high quality care.

Specialized Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Your treatment will vary depending on the severity of the disorder, how frequently you use your drugs or alcohol, how long you’ve been addicted, your lifestyle choices, and more. Dual diagnosis programs require specialized care to treat mental health and substance use disorders simultaneously. This is because both conditions typically exacerbate the other, making treatment more complex.

Depression, anxiety and chronic pain are some of the more common co-occurring conditions that may accompany a substance use disorder. They provide the ongoing support you need to deal with these complex issues. After your residential treatment, they help you find a sober living program that helps with your transition back into independent life in recovery. They work with most major insurance companies and with individuals who want to travel to Hawaii for their recovery.

The Ohana administered benzodiazepine medication to me when I came in with alcohol still in my system that they breathalyzed and were aware of. I passed out in the shower and was unconscious for over an hour before anyone noticed (clients did not staff) and they did not even call any emergency services or notify my family. This is a beautiful facility but they were extremely careless with my health and discharged me to a hospital to leave me stranded in Hawaii after they brought me out for treatment. I really wanted to love this place but they were extremely careless with my recovery and left me in an insanely dangerous situation.

I only have one small complaint: I craved a latte every day but only managed to snag one on a single occasion. Other than that, they really take care of you. The place is fantastic, and the staff, including April, is super friendly. Definitely recommend!

I initially planned to stay at the Ohana addiction treatment center for just two weeks, with the idea of checking in on how I was feeling during my time there. But honestly, from the fantastic staff to the cozy accommodations, it felt just like home. This place is really ideal for anyone looking to stay sober.

Location

Accepted Insurance

The Ohana Addiction Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.

Aftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs ensure clients' continued access to personalized care after the completion of formal addiction treatment. Case managers and recovery teams assess clients' needs and goals and identify the rehab aftercare services to best support clients' sustained sobriety. Clients may receive a variety of services to facilitate their successful reintegration into their home, workplace, and community, including peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other programs.

12-Step

12 step programs promote long-term sobriety through a process of personal growth rooted in spiritual principles. Participants work through the 12 steps by learning to define and address the root causes of their addiction, to take responsibility for their choices and actions, and to relinquish control over that which cannot be changed. Participants attend regular, anonymous 12 step meetings and are mentored by a self-selected sponsor. Specialized formats, including age and gender specific groups, are available.

Sober Living Homes

A sober living home in Hawaii helps residents achieve several goals that will help them move forward in their recovery journey. During their stay at a men's or women's sober living home, residents find and maintain employment, locate more permanent housing, make amends with friends and family members hurt by their substance abuse, and adjust to maintaining a sober lifestyle in a less structured environment.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides short-term intensive rehab for those who don't require 24-hour care. You can commute to and from treatment each day, giving you the flexibility to continue your daily activities while receiving care. Typical PHPs require you to attend a minimum of 20 hours weekly for an average of 90 days. While costs can vary, PHP treatment is often fully covered by insurance. PHP treatment offers comprehensive therapy sessions that may include medication management and relapse prevention strategies.

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

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

Motivational interviewing is simply a conversation about change. The therapist seeks to encourage the client's personal motivation to change and collaborate with them to make a commitment to change. This technique is often used in drug rehab therapy in Hawaii.

During trauma therapy in Hawaii, your therapist helps you reclaim your life after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Therapy assists you in processing the memories and fostering emotional healing. This helps to build resilience so you can navigate future challenges more successfully.

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.

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.

During treatment, you'll work on strengthening any life skills you'll need after rehab. These may include interpersonal communication, finding a job, managing finances, and coping with stress. These skills cover the basic tasks you'll need to accomplish to successfully maintain sobriety.

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.

Meredith Hunter

I had an experience here that totally changed my life. It was my first time in rehab, and I was super anxious about it. The staff were amazing—so friendly and professional. If you're dealing with addiction, this is definitely the place to seek help.

Harriett Wallace

This stay at the Ohana treatment center marks my 21st time seeking help. I've been to various facilities across the country, some great and some not so much. But honestly, this has been the best experience I've ever had. The staff here is incredible—everyone from the techs to the therapists and nurses works together in such a supportive way. They've really helped me move forward and believe in myself like I never thought possible. They do a fantastic job of meeting you right where you are. After struggling with heroin addiction for 11 years, this is the first time I genuinely feel I can lead a fulfilling life without it. My addiction used to feel like a heavy burden, but now, thanks to Ohana, I realize that all those tough times were valuable lessons that shaped me into a stronger person, ready to take on the world.

I’m sharing this on behalf of a family member who went to the Ohana addiction treatment center. From the moment we started the admissions process to the day of discharge, Ohana was on point. The staff is not just highly skilled; they genuinely care about what they do. My family member had an outstanding experience at this detox facility. The level of care and expertise from the staff made a real difference for all of us. We’re so thankful for the support and guidance they offered during such a tough time. Huge thanks to the incredible team for their commitment and compassion!

Steve Holcomb

I've checked out a few rehab centers, and I'm really passionate about mental health. I was really impressed with this place, especially the people there. It's not too intense, and the staff are super nice. Honestly, I couldn't ask for anything better.

Linda Melton

The team here is incredible; it’s a fantastic rehab for anyone facing challenges. It didn’t alter my identity but shifted my perspective and helped me understand myself better. This place has been a huge support for me, and I’ll always have love for it and everyone here.

Diane Ware

I had an awesome time here! I've been to a few inpatient places, but this one totally stands out. They take you on some really cool outings around the city. The staff is fantastic, especially Meredith, who organizes the day trips. Plus, the food is delicious, and my one-on-one sessions with my counselor Debby are the best I've ever experienced.

Jamie Banks

I was pretty anxious about going to rehab for the first time, but the Ohana addiction treatment center turned out to be awesome. From what I've heard, it's way better than other detox and rehab places. I went through detox and some rehab, and the staff there are fantastic—super smart and really caring, with many of them being in recovery themselves. Sure, there’s a lot of time spent indoors, but they do have walks and outings, plus you can move around the building freely. There’s a stationary bike and weights available, and you can hit the gym or do yoga three times a week. The food is great, and they cater to all dietary needs. They do encourage you to stick around during detox, but you can leave whenever you want. If you need referrals or a plan for after you leave, they can whip that up in just a day or two. I definitely recommend Ohana.

Ellen Strickland

The Ohana treatment center is hands down the best rehab I've ever experienced. A huge plus is that around 90% of the staff are in recovery too, like the therapists and techs. The activities, food, and living arrangements are all top-notch. I really didn’t want to leave. Special shoutout to April for being super awesome.

Tyler Walker

I didn't go through treatment at this center, but they really went out of their way to help me find the right place. The customer service was top-notch, and their eagerness to help with referrals was impressive. I'm really thankful for their support and would definitely suggest contacting them if you're looking for some guidance.
