ABOUT ALOHA HOUSE, INC.
Located on the Hawaiian island of Maui, Aloha House, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation that provides a range of services for adults and adolescents struggling with addiction. Since its inception in 1977, Aloha House has expanded its services from offering outpatient and residential treatment to include “comprehensive, family-centered behavioral health interventions for the prevention and treatment of individual and family dysfunction.” Medically monitored detoxification and aftercare planning are also offered.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
In line with the belief that no single treatment is appropriate for all individuals, all clients are thoroughly assessed to assist in the creation of an individualized treatment plan. This can often include family involvement, in order to fully understand the impact that drugs and alcohol have had on the client’s life.
Unique to Aloha House, clients are considered key members of their own treatment team; in fact, clients are required to sign off on their own treatment plans. These initial plans are then adjusted on an ongoing basis as progress is made toward individual goals — for instance, from residential to outpatient treatment.
According to the facility’s website, Aloha House has two components: a Substance Abuse Services Division and a Mental Health and Social Services/Child & Adolescent Mental Health Programs Division.
Residential programs within the Substance Abuse Services Division provide a structured environment for care that includes group and individual treatment, family therapy, recovery education, case management, discharge planning, and help to develop sober living and support within the community. There are also sober living and outpatient services with a track specifically for men and day treatment for those struggling with co-occurring disorders.
The Mental Health and Social Services Division is designed to assist adults in the recovery process with accessing healthcare, housing, jobs, and food through residential, outpatient, and community-based services. The center’s staff is also available to children and adolescents with a range of issues such as bullying, anxiety and fears, acting out, family problems, and attention problems. Psychiatric services are available to those whose treatment involves medication.
