Alternative therapies support standard approaches to treatment by engaging you in activities that go beyond addressing the symptoms of substance use or mental health disorders, and enrich the mind, body, and spirit.
What Is Alternative Therapy?
Alternative therapies are complementary approaches to traditional treatment that enhance the recovery process by bridging the gaps between the somatic, psychological, and emotional aspects of healing: this is the essence of a holistic approach to recovery.
Therapies like mindfulness and meditation address the spirit, therapies like yoga unite the mind, body, and the spirit, while therapies like IV vitamin infusions, cold plunges, and acupuncture and focus on healing the body,
Innovative, Integrated, Patient-Directed
At Honu House, we offer a wide range of alternative therapies and allow you to decide which options resonate with you. When you learn what works for you, we prioritize that approach in your treatment plan and include it in your daily schedule as frequently as possible.
In combination with standard treatment, alternative therapies allow you to explore and address underlying issues contributing to addiction and mental health challenges from a new perspective and see your situation and circumstances – and even the world – with fresh eyes, a healthier body, and an expanded concept of what’s possible on your treatment journey.

Types of Alternative Therapy at Honu House Hawaii
Acupuncture
Acupuncture
Acupuncture, practiced for tor thousands of years as an integral component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), works by bringing the natural energy in our bodies – called chi in the East or bioelectricity in the West – back into balance when disrupted or compromised by injury or illness.
In addiction and mental health treatment, acupuncture is known for its ability to reduce cravings, promote relaxation, and improve overall physical health.
Cold Plunge
Cold Plunge Therapy
Cold plunge therapy is exactly what it sounds like. Patients immerse themselves in ice-cold water for a short period of time, which stimulates an astounding number of beneficial short-and long-term physical adaptations. In addition to reducing inflammation and improving circulation, patients at Honu House report that cold plunges feel rejuvenizing, improve mental clarity, and facilitate the detoxification process.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber
Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber
A hyperbaric oxygen chamber is a safe, FDA-approved device that supplies patients with pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. HBOs are used to treat a range of medical conditions and promote healing by increasing the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, which can help improve the function of major physiological system in the body and improve recovery time after injury or illness.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to produce light that we absorb through our skin, resulting in a purifying sweat that helps purge toxins from the body, promote relaxation, and reduce stress. Infrared saunas elicit a sweat response at temperatures far lower than typical saunas, which makes them accessible and beneficial to patients uncomfortable with higher temperatures.
IV Therapy
IV Therapy
Intravenous (IV) therapy is a technique whereby trained medical clinicians deliver essential nutrients and hydration directly into the bloodstream through a vein – intravenously – to support recovery, improve overall health, and enhance vitality. Popular among professional athletes and essential for people with specific chronic diseases, IV therapy can help improve physical health, which creates a solid foundation for a successful recovery.
Meditation
Meditation
Meditation teaches patients at Honu House to cultivate mindfulness, improve emotional resilience, manage automatic thoughts, regulate somatic responses to external stimuli or traumatic memories. In addition, meditation gives patients an effective tool to manage stress, manage the symptoms of mental health disorders, and handle cravings associated with alcohol or drug addiction.
Alternative therapy modalities, combined with evidence-based treatments, ensure that our clients receive comprehensive care that addresses their physical, mental, and emotional well-being on their journey to recovery.
