Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Honolulu has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Honolulu differ on it.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Honolulu, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They do not prescribe it. Ask them who they refer to, because somewhere among the 8 centers near Honolulu will.

Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. Where an employer is funding treatment, it is normally told that you attended and not what was discussed. Ask for a copy of whatever release you sign, and read what it covers.
