Transformational Addiction Recovery Program in Maui, Hawaii
“This crack in your façade can be the first glimpse you have had to your real self. Ironically, your newly experienced vulnerability — the feeling that you are now exposed for all the world to see, that are your weaknesses are now visible — is the very thing that can save you.” — Merri Lisa Johnson
According to the American Psychiatric Association, personality is the way of thinking, feeling, and behaving that makes a person different from others. An individual’s personality is influenced by experiences, environment (surroundings, life situations), and inherited characteristics. A person’s personality typically stays the same over time. A personality disorder is a way of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviates from the culture’s expectations, causes distress or problems functioning, and lasts over time.
Personality disorders are long-term patterns of behavior and inner experiences that differ significantly from what is expected. The pattern of experience and behavior begins by late adolescence or early adulthood and causes distress or problems in functioning.
The ten personality disorders are grouped into three clusters based on similar characteristics and symptoms. It is important to note that it is not necessary to exhibit all the signs and symptoms listed for a disorder to be diagnosed.
Personality disorders are diagnosed in 40–60% of psychiatric patients, rendering them the most common of all psychiatric diagnoses.
65–90% of people treated for a substance use disorder have at least one personality disorder.
Traumatic childhood experiences are risk factors that elevate the chances that an individual may develop a personality disorder.
Here at Maui Recovery, we want to help empower their restoration and help them transform from addiction by providing programs that heal the Whole Self and turn the shame that they may feel towards themselves into a love they have for themself.
Individuals struggling with personality disorders tend to find it challenging to adapt to changes and demands of a “normal” life. Personality disorders make it difficult to form meaningful relationships with others, and individuals find themselves experiencing intense fear of abandonment, instability, and being left.
Here at Maui Recovery, we believe in second chances, growth, healing, and self-discovery.
Once anyone walks through our doors, they become an official part of the Maui Recovery Ohana. We respect every individual’s goal, process, and timeline. Everyone is different, so we take pride in coming together to find the right path for everyone.
Maui Recovery is here to help the individual and their family every step of the way to feel comfortable while transitioning and heal from the past trauma and experiences they have encountered because of their addiction.
We know first hand the pain and suffering that comes from active addiction. We’re here for you
