What Do Residential Treatment Centers in Hawaii Offer?
Residential treatment centers offer intensive treatment away from daily stressors and routine life. These facilities are commonly known as rehab centers and are widely reputed for treating addiction recovery and behavioral challenges. Rehab centers will often specialize in a particular issue, such as smoking cessation, disordered eating, or depression, and residents often report benefiting from the informal support of peers who share similar symptoms.
Residential treatment promotes recovery and healing by offering:
- Individual counseling sessions that take place on a regular basis.
- Group therapy sessions or support group meetings.
- Medical staff who supervise treatment, particularly during detoxification, and general physical health and medication management.
- Extracurricular activities, such as journaling, art classes, or meditation.
The facilities are staffed around the clock. Often, both inpatient and outpatient rehab services are available.
