About Aloha House
Aloha House, located in Makawao, Hawaii provides comprehensive, person-centered behavioral health interventions for the prevention and treatment of individual substance use disorder. Their programming ranges from detox to sober living homes.
Aloha House offers detox, residential, outpatient, and sober living.
Detox
The detox program at Aloha House is a medically monitored detox that is overseen by medical
staff. Medications are used to provide as much comfort as possible. By removing addictive
substances from the body, physical and mental stability can be achieved. This is often the first
step in recovery. Once the detox is complete, the next phase of treatment can begin.
Residential
Residential treatment is for individuals who need a high level of care and support at during the
initial phase of recovery. Through a highly controlled environment with structure, routine, and
rules, the focus becomes about learning the tools needed to live a substance free life. This
program helps individuals through clinical care models that include individual and group
therapy. Group classes are offered on a wide variety of subjects that related to addiction and
recovery.
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment is for those who are capable of receiving addiction treatment while also
maintaining their personal, work, and family responsibilities. This program is best-suited for
those who have graduated from the residential program or who are stable and do not need that
degree of care. Common treatment methods include individual and family counseling, along with
group counseling.
Sober Living
Sober living homes are for those who desire or need a safe and structured living environment
where they can keep working on their recovery in the company of others who are doing the
same. This is a crucial step for those who are not able to return to their home environment and
who need more time to regain the strength they need in order to move forward in life. Common
areas of focus in sober living homes are education, workforce readiness and employment, the
ability to handle life’s challenges while remaining sober.
Latest Reviews
After weeks of jumping through hoops. Getting a referral, drug and alcohol assessment, psych evaluation, then being put on a waiting list. Calling every mon wed fri as instructed, I was finally told they would not take me because I did not have permanent housing and...I HAD BEEN CLEAN TOO LONG. 6 weeks I thought that was a good thing. So should I have gone out and used to better my chances. What a messed up organization. Still can't help but wonder if race played a part.

They provide 24/7 nursing services and medications to facilitate a safe detoxification as well as screening, assessment, counseling, treatment and discharge planning.
24-Hour Clinical Care At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

Services include individualized treatment planning, group counseling, education and individual and family counseling. Duration of treatment varies and is based on client need and staff recommendations.
Inpatient Their Residential Treatment program provides a structured living environment for those who need a real “time-out” from their daily lives in order to get better. Clients must come into treatment voluntarily. The program provides screening, assessment, nursing care, counseling, psychological services, case management, recovery education, discharge planning and assistance in developing sober support in the community.
Intervention Services Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Aftercare Support Services, including treatment and discharge planning, are fully integrated with appropriate public and private agencies to ensure treatment gains are sustained upon re-entry into the community. They encourage and help clients create and engage with active support networks to ensure long-term recovery.
Sober Living Homes The Sober Living Program provides a safe, substance-free living environment for individuals either recently discharged from Residential Treatment or in the early recovery phase. Services include psychiatric care related to substance recovery, sober support skills groups, help with connecting with community resources and agencies and case management. The Sober Living Program allows clients to solidify the gains they made in treatment and generate different social circles to reduce the chance of relapse.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
They strongly believe that family involvement can be imperative to a “successful treatment experience,” so clients are encouraged to allow family members to play an active role. This can only happen, however, once a client signs the necessary confidentiality release forms. If a client wishes to have family involved in the treatment process, he/she still retains confidentiality rights — clients know that issues that surface in treatment will not be discussed with their family unless he/she provides prior approval.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
