Other Forms of Payment

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Clients receiving treatment in an outpatient rehab typically require less intensive support and supervision than do persons in inpatient care. Many have already completed inpatient programs and are weeks or months along in their recovery journey. Outpatient treatment generally involves the continuation of treatments begun in inpatient care, including addiction counseling and life skills development. Some outpatient programs also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery.
Telehealth in Hawaii is the use of communications technologies to deliver healthcare services from a distance. This may include primary medical care, mental health services, and substance use disorder treatment. Consult with your health care provider to determine if this option is suitable for your needs.
Treatments
Alcohol use disorder (AUD), also called alcoholism, can be mild, moderate, or severe. Symptoms include being unable to limit alcohol consumption and feeling strong cravings to drink alcohol. Individuals with AUD may have tried to quit drinking but were unsuccessful. Typically, professional rehab in Hawaii is necessary to help individuals overcome alcohol addiction. This treatment provides the necessary evidence-based therapies, medication, and support for long-term recovery.
Drug rehab in Hawaii is for individuals suffering from substance use disorders. Treatment addresses the many issues involved with addiction, typically through a combination of medical and psychotherapy treatments.
In Hawaii, substance abuse treatment programs address addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Care levels include outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, equine therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, skills training, and recovery groups can help you to establish a solid recovery and develop a support system (or strengthen an existing one) to increase your chances of long-term recovery success.
During inpatient drug rehab treatment, mental health services play a central role in your plan of care. During your stay at the center, you are constantly monitored and supported by clinical staff and mental health professionals. Standard mental health therapies and treatments include group and individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and many others. Extra amenities, like recreational therapies, vary by facility.
In Hawaii, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs recognize the importance of treating substance use disorders and mental health conditions simultaneously. They offer various levels of care, depending on your needs. Treatment settings include detox, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization options. Using a combination of evidence-based and holistic therapies, like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, adventure therapy, and acupuncture, clinicians address substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders.

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers.
