Specializing in Proven Addiction Treatment Methods

One of the therapists here is a certified substance abuse counselor. Their advanced training in both dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers a significant advantage, whether you’re recovering from an alcohol use disorder or you struggle with opioids.

You may have heard of CBT. It’s a proven treatment for SUDs of all kinds. CBT can help you recognize patterns in your thoughts and behaviors. You can learn how to make better choices when you experience cravings or triggers.

DBT can help you manage strong emotions. By learning to handle stress and emotional triggers without turning to substances, DBT supports long-term recovery. Clients often say they feel seen and respected in sessions, which makes this kind of deep work more meaningful.

Compassionate Help for Dual Diagnoses

Therapists here offer support for dual diagnosis, which includes both substance use and mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. It’s common for both to show up at the same time. Treating them together builds a stronger foundation for recovery.

Many clients enjoy participating in art or narrative therapy. Art therapy offers a creative outlet for emotions that can be hard to express. Narrative therapy helps clients look at their life stories in new ways, especially when past trauma or shame has shaped how they see themselves.

These approaches can be especially meaningful when traditional talk therapy feels limiting. Not every center offers holistic addiction treatment, which makes Hoʻohana Counseling feel more open to different paths toward healing.
