Addiction Treatment Programs
A young adult program in Hawaii is important for addressing the needs of this stage of life. Young adults face different challenges and have different motivations for using substances than older adults, and a young adult rehab program addresses these unique needs.
Men and women over 18 who struggle with substance abuse can receive treatment through an adult program in Hawaii. Programs may include inpatient and/or outpatient care and typically include individual and group therapy methods.
Men’s rehab in Hawaii often reduces the risk of relapse and increases treatment completion rates by giving men the opportunity to create bonds with other men who have similar challenges. They feel comfortable sharing their struggles, and continue the supportive relationships after treatment.
Because women often abuse substances for different reasons than men, women’s rehab in Hawaii provides treatment that is targeted for women. Programs focus on specific trauma, stigma, bias, and gender-role issues that can affect substance use disorders among women.
Cognitive behavioral therapy in Hawaii teaches people positive behaviors to replace alcohol and drug use. They learn better ways to cope with negative thoughts and emotions and challenging situations.
Elderly rehab in Hawaii can provide a safe haven for older adults to seek addiction treatment. Programs include a supportive peer network and specialists who are knowledgeable about the challenges of addiction among seniors.
The backbone of rational emotive behavioral therapy in Hawaii is the ABC model. Therapists use this method to help individuals struggling with addiction alter their thinking and behavior. Individuals acknowledge the Activating event (trigger), evaluate their Beliefs (rational or irrational), and consider the Consequences (actions resulting from the beliefs about the event).
Fitness therapy is an evidence-based complementary approach to addiction recovery and mental health care. Based on mounting scientific evidence of the benefits of physical activity in improving mood, enhancing clients’ sense of wellbeing, and decreasing depression and anxiety, fitness therapy encompasses a wide spectrum of intensities, from gentle yoga, qigong, and tai chi to weight training, kickboxing, and other highly physical activities.
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.
Administrative Services are ancillary services provided by multidisciplinary teams of professionals, including clinicians, social workers, therapists, and case managers. These services ensure clients receive seamless, comprehensive care across all stages of recovery. Programs may include transportation assistance, intervention planning, insurance verification, supportive housing and employment, and discharge planning and support.
Levels of Care
During outpatient rehab in Hawaii, you will have more freedom and less oversight than with inpatient treatment. The goals will be to stay clean, demonstrate the ability to act responsibly, and show continual progress toward recovery. This will include attending therapy and support group sessions.
Often, substance abuse and mental health disorders are intricately linked. For successful recovery, Hawaii dual diagnosis treatment is necessary. This integrated approach provides crucial tools for improving both conditions and putting you on the path to recovery.
