About Aloha House, Inc
Aloha House is based in Makawao, Hawaii. They provide comprehensive, behavioral health services to prevent and treat drug abuse. Aloha House offers detox, residential, outpatient, sober living, and aftercare programs for adults. They also have programs for children and teens.
The detox program is medically monitored, which means you’ll be overseen by medical staff. Medications are used to provide as much comfort as possible. The meds also help reduce cravings, so you’ll have a greater chance of not relapsing. Once the detox is complete, the next phase of treatment can begin.
Residential treatment is for those who need a high level of care and support. You’ll have a highly controlled environment with structure, routine, and rules, all geared towards living a substance free life. One specific type of treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps address co-occurring mental and behavioral health disorders. Group classes are offered on a wide variety of subjects related to addiction and recovery. Recreational activities, like sports and beach trips are included along with all meals. The program generally lasts up to six weeks.
Outpatient treatment is for those who can receive treatment while also going to work and maintaining their personal and family responsibilities. This program is a good fit if you graduated from the residential program or are stable and don’t need a high degree of care. Common treatment methods include individual, family, and group counseling.
Sober living homes are there if you need a safe and structured living environment. You can keep working on recovery in the company of others who are doing the same. This program is for those who need more time to regain strength to move forward in life. Common areas of focus in sober living homes are education, finding a steady job, and handling life’s challenges while remaining sober.
Just in case you need it should a relapse occur, a mobile crisis unit is available. The entire program is accredited by CARF, so you know it meets a high standard of care.

My loved one & several of my friends have attended Aloh House treatment facility in Maui & they all have only good things to say about it. Personally it helped my loved one who was addicted to meth for 15 years & I feel like I got them back after they went to Aloha House. Thank you again
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.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Medically Assisted Detox Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
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.
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.
12-Step 12 step programs promote long-term sobriety through a process of personal growth rooted in spiritual principles. Participants work through the 12 steps by learning to define and address the root causes of their addiction, to take responsibility for their choices and actions, and to relinquish control over that which cannot be changed. Participants attend regular, anonymous 12 step meetings and are mentored by a self-selected sponsor. Specialized formats, including age and gender specific groups, are available.
Sober Living Homes A sober living home in Hawaii helps residents achieve several goals that will help them move forward in their recovery journey. During their stay at a men's or women's sober living home, residents find and maintain employment, locate more permanent housing, make amends with friends and family members hurt by their substance abuse, and adjust to maintaining a sober lifestyle in a less structured environment.
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.
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
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.
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
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
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.
During cognitive behavioral therapy in Hawaii, patients learn about their mental and behavioral health conditions and then learn techniques to help them change their patterns of thinking and behavior. Tools such as stress management, coping, and assertiveness are used to break free from patterns of substance abuse.
