What is Residential Addiction Treatment?
Residential treatment is a type of immersive care where you live on-site at a specialized facility and receive 24/7 support and treatment for substance use disorder, addiction, and/or co-occurring mental health disorders.
At Honu House, you live on-site in a comfortable, modern treatment facility on a coffee plantation nestled on the slopes of the majestic Hualalai volcano overlooking the breathtaking Pacific Ocean in the Kailua Kona district on Hawaii’s world-famous Big Island.
Our location offers the perfect blend of nature, solitude, and beauty, just a short drive from any modern amenity or service you may need.

Upon intake and assessment, we design a custom plan based on your needs and goals for treatment. As you grow and change in recovery, your treatment plan grows and changes with you. At each step of the way, we reassess your program to ensure the components are appropriate for where you are, not where you were, and keep you heading in the direction you want to go, rather than standing still. This constant process of evaluation and reassessment promotes treatment progress and overall wellbeing.
