Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare. Psychiatric Outpatient Service (POPS), located on wing 2B, offers walk-in and emergency service, individual and group psychotherapy, marital treatment, Command Referral program and medication management for adult beneficiaries.

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

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Intensive Outpatient

The Addictions Medicine Intensive Outpatient Program (AMIOP) provides 5 weeks of Intensive Outpatient Treatment, the daily schedule includes these services: assessment and evaluation, multi-disciplinary case management, family counseling, couple counseling, psychiatry services, psycho-evaluation classes, chaplain services, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and grief counseling.

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).

Treatment

Alcoholism

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 Addiction

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.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

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 Addiction

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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is provided to meet the needs of couples who are affected by deployments and adjusting to military lifestyle. 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.

Electroconvulsive Therapy

ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.

Family Therapy

Sometimes, as part of a Veteran’s treatment, some members of the Veteran’s immediate family or the Veteran’s legal guardian may be included and receive services, such as family therapy, marriage counseling, grief counseling, etc. Family members might learn how to recognize symptoms and support recovery. In some treatment settings, a brief course of couples counseling or family therapy may be offered.

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.

While I was visiting, I had pain in my knees, hips, chest, and a swollen ankle. The staff in the ER (September 5,2024)throughly checked me , treated me and I feel so much better.Thank YouCW

Anesthesiologist in labor and delivery puts too much epidural in women, causing problems during labor. This should be addressed. I wasn t the only one who had the same problem. The dr was in visible disagreement with him. The anesthesiologist was an older Caucasian man. Maybe the labor Drs. are overworked.After a surgery I had, I could hear some of the team members laughing loudly as they ended and rolled me out into the recovery area. They need to work on manners and respect during and right after surgeries.The er was really helpful in taking my toddler in quick one time.The parking lot is horrible and lacks a designated Parking with children spots, like in all the other Army installation clinics and hospitals that we have been.The Antepartum Diagnostic center was a great source of support, during my appts there.Had a good experience with internal medicine the whole time we were seen here.The pediatric clinic immunizations clinic was always a bad experience. The head nurse is rude.Physical therapy are phenomenal.

When going to the EMERGENCY room, there is no reason to be waiting 5-10 hours before being seen. I have watched people in horrible pain, vomiting in the waiting area, and nurses making fun of them, not taking it serious. I have waited 5+ hours every time I had a medical issue. I am currently pregnant with horrible pain and was told I would be waiting hours before seen. This place is a joke and probably responsible for a lot of bad outcomes. I recommend finding an off base hospital that takes Tricare before wasting time at this facility.

DISCOURTEOUS /PREJUDICE/ INATTENTIVE90% of the time that I have came to this hospital, I have had a terrible experience. From the nasty attitudes from the ER nurses , to the prejudice workers from the OBGYN, and the fact that me and my child almost died while I gave birth here. I m married and wear a ring on my finger, and have received comments like you re a single mom right? , and even asking me if my husband was my brother. At the ER, they do not have a real care or concern about you, they just want to get you out as soon as possible. I showed them a picture of an ultrasound when I had a miscarriage that showed that my baby no longer had a heartbeat and instead of giving me a ultrasound to check , they took my bloodwork and said I was okay and sent me home with a baby inside of me that was no longer alive, even after giving them the proof. When I took my daughter here , instead of helping, they are quick to try to claim neglect and call CPS. I have never seen a hospital with so many workers that actively show that they rather be somewhere else, with so much negative energy and a negative disposition about themselves .

Avoid if you can. I m not sure why the staff has such a terrible attitudes when they have freewill to come here and work everyday. They do not know how to treat you as a human being and they treat you as a hassle . Very scary to think about your life being entrusted in these hands. Avoid at all cost.

I am a physician that actually trained at Tripler. The medical care that I have gotten there I would call dangerous. If I wasn't a physician and had to take over my own care, I swear I would be dead now. They couldn't put two and two together when I had a stroke and totally mismanaged my care leaving me in a life threatening situation. I wish to add to this review. I put in a telephone consultation that was supposed to be answered in 48 hours. I got no response! This hospital and the care it gives is the worst! Avoid at all costs! Your health will pay the price!!!! No matters what - pay out of pocket. I am convinced they want to kill off retirees! As a physician that trained there and had been treated there - avoid at all costs!!!! Pay out of pocket! This place will kill you! Forgot to add their laboratory values do not correspond to the lab values I have gotten in the local community. Trust nothing from this place!

Tripler has "provided" me with some of the worst medical experiences I have ever had - even at some of the most short-handed or underfunded medical establishments I have had to go to for emergencies. I have received better care - and definitely better communication/ customer care. I, of course, will continue to go - because I have no other option as a military member, but if one of my family members gets sick or has an emergency, I will pay thousands of dollars out of pocket vs. entrusting Tripler to care for them (except for the Pulminory Department- which is exactly opposite of this generalized rating) almost every other Department I have had to deal with has practically made things worse or at least caused me frustration or treated me like I was a "hassle" and not a patient.

Do not bring your children here. The moment your child seems to be different than other children or average children weight wise they are quick to call CPS and say neglect when they didn't have any evidence of abuse or neglect. They will misdiagnosed your child with whatever and not listen to the parents concerns and waist your time. They also use CPS to try and enforce medical procedures when all other tests are normal. Save yourself the emotional stress and take your kids somewhere you are listened to and are given really great advice for your child s care. This hospital doesn t even know what neglect or abuse even looks like if it was in front of their faces.
