About The Ohana
Specializing in the treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, The Ohana offers luxury detox and residential care—allowing clients to focus on themselves and their healing. Their clinical expertise, adventure therapy, and holistic care work together to rewire the brain’s reward system while guiding clients to envision a future they believe in.
Build a Meaningful Life to Stay Sober For
True Recovery is about more than stopping harmful behaviors—it’s about helping clients build a life they want to live. Their clinical team combines evidence-based therapies with an outcome-driven approach, helping clients identify their values and envision a future that feels meaningful. Using motivational interviewing and a deep understanding of the stages of change, clinicians help clients begin to see what’s possible before they spiral into deeper suffering. This work is intensive, but it is supported by holistic and adventure therapies that rewire the brain’s reward system.
Heal in Paradise, Surrounded by Beauty
At The Ohana, luxury and healing intertwine in Hawaii’s tropical paradise. On three private acres overlooking the Kona Coast and Pacific Ocean, the setting creates space for healing. Clients wake up to breathtaking ocean views, stay in private rooms, and eat chef-prepared meals. The property features a sparkling pool, hot tub, outdoor rain shower, and fire pit. Beyond the property, clients connect with nature through beach adventures, horseback riding, hikes, snorkeling, and ocean excursions.
Leave with Support in Place
Before clients even leave, the clinical team works closely with each person to build a personalized aftercare plan. Therapists, primary care providers, and support systems are identified and appointments are scheduled in advance. Their careful planning removes any uncertainty that can make early recovery feel overwhelming.

Far from distractions and daily pressures, the island becomes part of the therapy, allowing intensive work to take root.
Experience Genuine Connection with Peer Support
