Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat

Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat is a center that specializes in medical retreat programs, natural detoxification, supervised medical fasting, and wellness programs. They treat addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions along with autoimmune disorders, cancer, chronic fatigue, diabetes, chronic pain, lyme disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and eating disorders. “Dr. Baylac founded the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center in 2003 on the Big Island of Hawaii. The retreat’s focus is on natural detoxification and healthy lifestyle lead by spiritual principles and whole food nutrition. Her current work bears the influence of her prior practice as a psychotherapist, a fasting practitioner and a Gerson practitioner. She is more than a doctor or a therapist, she is a dedicated healer. She is a powerful motivator who pulls her strength from her own truth.”
As one of the leading holistic treatment facilities, Hawaii Naturopathic programs focus on “biochemical, mental and emotional detoxification, using natural methods such as raw food nutrition, juice, fasting, exercise, infrared sauna, hydrotherapy, enemas, colon hydrotherapy, counseling psychotherapy and meditation. Physical, emotional and spiritual balance is restored with the ancient, time-tested medical traditions of acupuncture and massage therapy.” They also utilize nutritional IV therapy to strengthen the immune system and aid in long-term recovery. All programs vary in length and are unique to the specific needs of the individual.
Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center is located on the big island of Hawaii. Temperatures are perfect in this tropical climate and range from the upper 70s to 80s year round. Hawaii Naturopathic has 2 accommodation options depending on the program. Their medical residential program is offered in the Hilo location while the special retreat and wellness programs take place in the Kealakekua Bay location.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

The facility utilizes 8 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
