Lokahi Treatment Centers

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Pahoa is set up for.

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Pahoa does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Pahoa.

Pahoa has 10 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Pahoa.

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.

Having both is the ordinary case, and the programs built for it are described as integrated. Treating one and postponing the other is the pattern that sends people back for a second attempt. Ask whether both conditions are handled by one team or passed between two.

Outpatient programs run early and late for exactly this reason, so many people are treated without taking leave. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
