Hina Mauka/Teen Care

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Lihue has 4 other centers within 14 miles.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Lihue offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Lihue.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Lihue specifically.

They do video appointments, which matters if Lihue is a drive for you.

Most of recovery happens after the program, which is an awkward fact for anyone selling programs. A discharge plan should name the appointments, who prescribes, and what to do on a bad night. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.

Someone asks what is going on, what has been tried before, and what insurance you have. Honest answers get a better recommendation, and understating the amount is the most common way people get sent to the wrong level of care. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.

Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. Deductibles reset each year, so the timing of an admission changes the number. Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.
