About Aloha House, Inc – Makawao
Aloha House is based in Makawao, Hawaii. They provide comprehensive, behavioral health services to prevent and treat drug abuse. Aloha House offers detox, residential, outpatient, sober living, and aftercare programs for adults. They also have programs for children and teens.
The detox program is medically monitored, which means you’ll be overseen by medical staff. Medications are used to provide as much comfort as possible. The meds also help reduce cravings, so you’ll have a greater chance of not relapsing. Once the detox is complete, the next phase of treatment can begin.
Residential treatment is for those who need a high level of care and support. You’ll have a highly controlled environment with structure, routine, and rules, all geared towards living a substance free life. One specific type of treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps address co-occurring mental and behavioral health disorders. Group classes are offered on a wide variety of subjects related to addiction and recovery. Recreational activities, like sports and beach trips are included along with all meals. The program generally lasts up to six weeks.
Outpatient treatment is for those who can receive treatment while also going to work and maintaining their personal and family responsibilities. This program is a good fit if you graduated from the residential program or are stable and don’t need a high degree of care. Common treatment methods include individual, family, and group counseling.
Sober living homes are there if you need a safe and structured living environment. You can keep working on recovery in the company of others who are doing the same. This program is for those who need more time to regain strength to move forward in life. Common areas of focus in sober living homes are education, finding a steady job, and handling life’s challenges while remaining sober.
Just in case you need it should a relapse occur, a mobile crisis unit is available. The entire program is accredited by CARF, so you know it meets a high standard of care.
