Some of our leading edge detox programs included here are available upon request and availability.  We can tailor your experience to create the ultimate detox retreat and vacation:

Acupuncture/Acupressure - Numerous studies have shown that the use of acupuncture in a treatment context can decrease cravings for drugs and alcohol, reduce withdrawal symptoms, relieve tension and help relaxation. In addition, it is being used successfully as a method of drug detoxification at more than 100 drug treatment clinics in the United States. Studies show that this painless process often increases the effectiveness of other methods in the treatment of chemical dependency. Hale Ola offers regular acupuncture treatments to accelerate the healing process.

Meditation & Affirmation - Meditation is that time and space, devoted to becoming more aware of yourself in the present moment. The more we know about ourselves the more opportunity we have to live our lives in harmony with our deepest desires.  When working with affirmations (one of the guided Meditations) we align our thoughts, for a chosen period, with a desired outcome. Why leave it to advertisers to decide what to introduce next into your life?

Colonic hydrotherapy - The series of self-administered Colonic Irrigations throughout the retreat is a safe and simple way to a Colon freer of debris, with stronger assimilative and eliminative powers for a long vibrant life. Despite being everyone's major anxiety, there really is nothing to learn and they are very relaxing. (optional)

Yoga sessions - Be you a beginner or a practiced yogini, you will learn something new. Use the retreat time to stretch and release joints, learn to correct your posture and 'lengthen' you body, thus relieving much strain on tired joints. Expect to increase your range of movement by the end of your retreat while revitalizing body and mind!  Though, as you can see, by the end of the retreat, things get very relaxed!

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy - increases the oxygen in the plasma up to ten times that of normal. This treatment is useful for hundreds of health aliments and conditions. (available upon request)

Ozone Therapy - using The Triple Barrel Ozone Delivery System. This system saturates the body with oxygen via Ozone Insufflation, Ozone Enhancer Treatment or Ozone Bath.

I.V. Vitamin Therapy - The option of over 100 different Nutritional Protocols are available to address your deficiencies.

I.V. Chelation Therapy - for cleansing out "a lifetime accumulation of plaque and toxins" from your Cardio Vascular System.

Total Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy - to stop the unnecessary pre-mature aging process of degenerative disease.

Homeopathy & Coaching - As a matter of routine, the initial consultation will involve taking down your detailed history. Tracing the nature of symptoms into a precise picture of your tendencies. It is important to understand what you were like before the onset of symptoms, prior to the alteration in the state of health, and the changes in sensation and function you experienced on all levels.

Directional Therapy/Individual Counseling - The process by which a resident is guided, supported and directed by his or her counselor as he or she develops personal strategies and plans the course and expectation of treatment goals designed to help residents build commitment throughout the process of behavior and attitude modification.

Motivational Counseling - A directed “resident-centered” approach that encourages behavioral and attitude changes by helping an individual explore and resolve his or her issues.

Health checks - Upon booking you receive information regarding how to prepare for your retreat, and you are asked to fill in a medical questionnaire.  Numerous checks are made throughout your stay, to give you feedback about how the process is affecting your system. These include weight, Body Mass Index checks, understood further through actual Body Fat Percentage readings. Blood pressure and pulse rate readings and urine analysis to determine your ongoing pH balance.

 Transformational Therapies - The highly-skilled professional counselors and therapists at Hale Ola o’ Manoa use some of the most powerful methods available today that go beyond "talk therapy". Each client works with several professionals over the course of their treatment to get the maximum results. Through this process, Hale Ola o’ Manoa can address the genesis of addiction, heal the core "inner child" issues and empower the individual to lead a healthy, successful lifestyle. Therapeutic modes of treatment help our clients rebuild their self-esteem, strengthen relationship skills, clarify goals and talents, and reconnect with inner resources to transform and enrich their ability to effectively deal with their lives. Clients receive individual and group sessions daily.

Medical Testing & Bio-Nutritional Program - Many years of scientific research have proven the effectiveness of programs that repair the bio-chemical damage of drug and alcohol addiction. At Hale Ola o’ Manoa, we find that by re-establishing balance in the physical body and by beginning the bio-chemical repair process, a foundation for healing and transformation is established. Treatment begins with a medical testing and nutritional assessment that uncovers hidden physiological factors that support addiction such as hypoglycemia, significant vitamin deficiency, brain chemistry imbalance, chemical sensitivities and allergies. These factors often support and contribute to the addictive behavior. The Hale Ola program provides a set of nutritional supplements that are tailored to the individual's needs. By following this program, many of our clients notice that addictive cravings and other symptoms are eliminated or greatly reduced within a very short period of time. In addition, other symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia are addressed and minimized with this approach.


Release Methods - An important aspect of our program is an emphasis on release techniques that clients learn and take home to use in their daily lives. These simple yet profound exercises give impressive results! People can use them to reduce the intensity of phobias and panic experiences, physical pain and emotional upsets that normally occur in life. Clients are taught to identify their unwanted behaviors and feelings, as well as recurrent stressful situations, and are then assisted in using the methods that work best for them to minimize those experiences without the use of substances. These methods empower individuals to take responsibility for their experience and help them find positive and effective ways to deal with the more difficult aspects of life.

Jin Shin Jyutsu - Clients at Hale Ola receive individual sessions and self-help instruction in Jin Shin Jyutsu, an ancient Japanese practice that can balance body energy, alleviate cravings, eliminate stress, relieve pain, and address acute or chronic physical conditions.

Optional Body Work - Professionals in massage and body work are available to Hale Ola clients on weekends when clients' schedules allow. Massage can support the healing process on many levels: by offering a time for relaxation and release, for physical healing and toning, and for mental relaxation and rejuvenation.

After Care – Hale Ola  provides ongoing support and weekly meetings for alumni. Individuals who live outside of the area participate in conference calls, in which they can gain support and share new insights about their progress. In some locations, after care support is provided locally. Hale Ola also helps alumni find other support structures in their local area that are suited to their needs. These help provide continuing resources for maintaining an addiction-free lifestyle.

Darkfield Microscopy  - According to the work of Dr. Enderlein, a darkfield microscopy assessment studies the health of the body's internal environment and the presence of potential pathogens associated with disease. Isopathic remedies are recommended with the goal of restoring the internal environment back to balance. (available upon request)

Chiropractic / Applied Kinesiology / NAET  - Chiropractic is a form of manual medicine that normalizes joint motion in the spine and the extremities.

This evaluation allows for a thorough understanding of bio-energetic changes associated with specific disease processes. Based on your state of health a treatment regimen is recommended which may include Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Shiatsu, LaStone Therapy, Qi Gong and or Tai Chi.

Metabolic Typing  - A balanced blood Ph is crucial to maintaining optimal health. Metabolic typing incorporates multiple parameters to evaluate your metabolic state. A diet and supplement program is tailored to meet your physiologic needs. Restoring optimal blood pH changes the body's internal environment and reduces the virulence of bacteria, viruses and fungi, improves cell metabolism, increases weight loss, decreases inflammation, and improves immune function.

 Program Enhancements

Alcoholism and drug addiction are diseases that have a wide-ranging negative impact on an individual's well-being. Hale Ola offers three unique programs to its residents to enhance their recovery process during treatment and enrich their quality of life - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Performance and Detoxification Nutrition - An individualized nutrition regimen focuses on the re-establishment of an anabolic nutritional state in the body to restore health and vitality and to counter the catabolic, or destructive, effects of addiction. Performance nutrition will enhance the resident's sense of well-being and energy levels, to better deal with daily emotional stress and rejuvenate the body's immune system and physiological functions for peak performance and maximum health.

Centering and Guided Imagery - Movement meditation is used to help strengthen the resident's mind-body link in order to enhance personal psychological and physical harmony. Centering is designed to strengthen the individual's sense of self-empowerment, sensitivity and awareness of the behavioral reactions to cues in our internal and external environment and how they affect our health and behavior.

Peak Performance - Functional fitness is the ability to maximize physical performance during work and play without placing undue stress on the mind and body. The focus is on strengthening the core or the powerhouse of the body through and integration of different fitness components - strength, flexibility, cardiovascular capacity and coordination.
