There are several local resources available to help you find the best substance abuse treatment for you. Each program has its strengths and weaknesses. What’s important is that you find one that you feel comfortable with.
The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division of Hawaii’s Department of Health provides a full list of treatment and recovery facilities located on the islands, complete with contact information and a summary of services provided at each one. The Hawaii Prevention Resource Center is also a valuable source of information on drug abuse, prevention efforts, rehab facilities, and more.
There are a number of 12-Step meetings held on the Hawaiian Islands that are free to attend and offer a supportive community of peers in recovery. Visit the Hawaii chapters of Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous (East Hawaii, West Hawaii) to find a meeting near you.
If you’re not sure whether you want to stay in Hawaii for treatment or visit another part of the country, try SAMHSA’s Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator. You can search by city, state or zip code to find a rehab that suits your needs.
If you are experiencing a crisis and are in danger of hurting yourself or others, call 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
Remember, addiction treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Regardless of the type of recovery program you wind up choosing, what’s important is that you took the first step towards a healthy, sober life.
You can also contact American Addiction Centers (AAC) for free at to learn more about treatment options.
