What Is Substance Abuse Disorder?

Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD) involves:

• Loss of Control – Inability to stop or reduce use despite negative consequences
• Cravings and Preoccupation – Strong urges or persistent thoughts about obtaining and using substances
• Tolerance and Withdrawal – Needing more of the substance to achieve the same effect, or experiencing physical/psychological withdrawal when use stops
• Functional Impairment: Continued use leading to problems at work, home, relationships, or legal issues

Early intervention increases the likelihood of sustained sobriety and improved quality of life.

Our Integrated Approach

As leading Substance Abuse Disorder Therapy Specialists in Hawaii, we offer a comprehensive, multi-modal treatment plan:

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

Low-dose ketamine infusions can modulate glutamate pathways linked to reward circuitry, often reducing cravings for alcohol and opioids. Infusions promote synaptic growth (via BDNF), helping break entrenched neural patterns associated with addiction.

NAD⁺ Therapy for Cellular Recovery

NAD⁺ infusions aid liver detoxification and alleviate withdrawal fatigue by optimizing mitochondrial function.

IV Nutrient Support

High-dose IV B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants (glutathione) restore nutrients depleted by chronic substance use.

Neurofeedback

Real-time EEG feedback strengthens self-regulation, improves impulse control, and enhances stress resilience.
