About Big Island Substance Abuse Council – Keaau
Big Island Substance Abuse Council sets itself apart from the competition by providing a wide range of programs in the beautiful backdrop of Kea’au, Hawaii. They help adults who are on a recovery journey from drugs, alcohol and mental health disorders.
They provide a therapeutic living program that is staffed 24 hours a day and offers a structured place to recover with case management, counseling, and personal care. They also provide specialized homes for pregnant women and mothers with dependent children.
Their day treatment program is their most intensive non-residential option, but it still has some intensive services. But this level of care is mainly used as a stepping stone from a higher level of care. They also have an intensive outpatient program that is slightly milder in intensity than their day program. Finally, they have a standard outpatient program that includes evaluations, case management, and recovery services while still allowing you to return home after receiving treatment.
Some of their support programs include smoking cessation, which provides counseling, quit planning, and nicotine replacement therapy. Ola Kino promotes your health through exercise, nutrition guidance, and behavioral change. They also offer Po’okela vocational training to help you develop the skills you need to be ready for the job you want. Finally, Mahi’ai Ola is therapeutic horticulture that helps reconnect clients with nature and responsibility.
This clinic offers non-medical detox services which can last up to 7 days and can help you safely detox from intense drugs or heavy alcohol addictions.
