About Adventist Health Castle – Kailua
Adventist Health Castle in Kailua, Hawai’i, offers health services that can assist individuals struggling with substance use withdrawal. The staff at the inpatient facility are also trained to treat mental health conditions, such as depression and psychosis.
One thing I like the most about this facility is the variety of different professionals available at this location. Staff members include a case manager, a psychiatrist, a counselor and a nurse. Case managers can help you get access to the proper care and resources you need to continue to maintain your sobriety.
Symptoms that individuals can experience when going through withdrawal include anxiety and depression. A psychiatrist can determine if medication is necessary to help relieve you of these mental health conditions.
Your counselor can also help you manage these symptoms through evidence based therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). You may learn coping mechanisms such as mindfulness to reduce your anxiety and keep you from relapsing.
When you begin living a sober lifestyle outside of the facility, you can take time to visit various outdoor areas that can help you to relieve stress. One place that you might really enjoy is Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden. The area features hiking trails, a freshwater lake, and 400 acres of tropical plants that make it an ideal location for going on a camping trip.
