Long Term Comprehensive Substance Abuse Recovery
At Maui Recovery we view addiction as a the self-medicating symptom of some other underlying distress. That underlying distress can be different in each person: childhood trauma, psychiatric imbalance, physical pain, toxic relationships, existential crisis, personality disorders, unresolved bereavement, internalized shame, etc. This can create the “perfect storm” of active addiction. But meaningful recovery is not just abstaining from the substances; it’s understanding and treating the issues that led to the self-medication while also developing a better sense of Self–and to re-write and reframe their “story” in a more healthy and meaningful way.

Clients frequently find themselves in a never-ending loop of misery, leaving no energy for the recovery process.

Because these moods are often chaotic and complicated, it can be difficult for the client to pinpoint their origins without assistance. You may realize that depression and anxiety run your life. Let Maui Recovery help. Our caring team of experts can help you work through the pain and find a healthier, happier life.
