Aloha. Welcome to Honu House.
Mahalo. We’re glad you’re here.

The Honu turtle represents protection, healing, endurance, guidance, and returning home to oneself.

If you’re looking for an alcohol and drug rehab that focuses on healing the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – and brings you back to yourself – you found it.

If you want a recovery program that starts every morning with breathing exercises and incorporates meditation, yoga, and nature into the schedule every day, we’re right here.

Honu House is a spiritual oasis nestled on the majestic slopes of Hualalai overlooking the breathtaking Pacific Ocean in the Kailua Kona district on the Big Island.

We specialize in genuine holistic healing and wellness grounded in traditional addiction and mental health therapy.

Aloha. Mahalo. We don’t just say it: we live it.

The Honu House Difference

Every addiction treatment center you find online says they offer individualized, evidence-based treatment programs in a welcoming atmosphere with supportive staff who provide complementary support like yoga, meditation, stress reduction, and mindfulness.

But when you get there for treatment, you do group therapy in a conference room, individual psychotherapy in a windowless cube, your contact with nature is limited to potted plants, and you meditate next to workout equipment meant for the exercise therapy that never seems to make it onto your daily schedule.

At Honu House, it’s the opposite: we put the holistic part first.

That’s what sets us apart. That’s the Honu House Difference.

We start every day with breathwork. We spend most of our time outdoors, taking hikes, visiting the ocean, drawing strength from the astounding natural beauty of our idyllic island location and the rich cultural traditions of Hawaii, which support genuine human connection, healing, and growth.

INNOVATION, TRADITION, AND INSPIRATION

Of course we do evidence-based addiction treatment grounded in real science, proven facts, and peer-reviewed data. Counseling, therapy, and medical support at Honu House are provided by licensed, skilled, and experienced mental health and addiction treatment professionals. We offer cutting-edge therapeutic modalities like a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, an infrared sauna, and IV vitamin infusions you rarely find all in the same place – and you never find in a place this beautiful.

But without the human component, both the traditional clinical therapies and the innovative 21st century methods fall short, because they lack what we offer: an unwavering belief in and commitment to holistic wellness and total healing for the mind, body, and soul.

Our holistic approaches are science-based, and our traditional addiction therapies grounded in connection to nature, connection to other humans, and connection to one thing that unites us all: The Breath of Life.

What is the Breath of Life?

When we inspire, we breath in and discover the secret to recovery has been right here all along.

When we conspire, we breath in together, and access the infinite healing power of the collective, which unites us, resides within us, and has been right there all along.

HONU HOUSE: WE DID IT.

We found the perfect location, the perfect methods, and the perfect staff to prove modern science and centuries-old holistic practices can coexist, coalesce, and combine to become more than the sum of their parts and provide comprehensive, integrated addiction treatment that actually works.

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.”

Jeff

“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.”
