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.

Rebuild Adventure through Joy
Rebuild Adventure through Joy
Adventure is part of healing at The Ohana. Clients go beyond the therapy room, swimming with dolphins and whales, hiking through ancient lava caves, ziplining over canyons, and sometimes watching as volcanoes erupt in the distance. These experiences activate the brain’s reward system in healthy ways, helping rebuild dopamine pathways damaged by addiction.
Feel Whole Again with Holistic Therapies
Feel Whole Again with Holistic Therapies
Healing is woven into every detail at The Ohana—from the therapies offered to the land itself. Clients reconnect with themselves through massage, acupuncture, yoga, breathwork, tai chi, and sound healing. Each modality helps them release tension and guides their nervous systems toward regulation. On the property, the walking trails are bursting with hibiscus, lemons, jade, and avocados, presenting opportunities for reflection and grounding in nature.
Let the Island Do Its Work
Let the Island Do Its Work
At The Ohana, Hawaii isn’t just a pretty backdrop for treatment—it gently rewires the nervous system from the moment clients arrive. The ocean waves and warm island air create the conditions for clients to slow down and reconnect with themselves in ways that aren’t possible at home. 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
Experience Genuine Connection with Peer Support
At The Ohana, clients are never just patients—they become part of a healing family where the connection to each other is real. Surrounded by peers who understand their struggles, clients feel both challenged and held by others who are walking the same path. In this safe, intimate community, group therapy becomes a time where clients form deep bonds, learn to open up, and support each other.
