About CARE Hawaii – Kailua-Kona
CARE Hawaii in Kailua-Kona provides mental health support, including addiction treatment for adults and adolescents. Their outpatient programs make it easier to focus on recovery while keeping up with daily life. With the ocean nearby and a peaceful island setting, healing can extend beyond treatment into moments of connection with nature.
The doors opened here in 1999 with a simple goal. People on the islands needed quality mental healthcare, and CARE wanted to make it accessible. They believe real recovery happens when people feel supported, and every person who walks through their doors is met with respect and understanding.
In the Intensive Outpatient Program, you’ll attend therapy three times a week for 12 to 16 weeks. Sessions last about three hours. You’ll participate in group discussions and activities that help you work through recovery.
Therapists use science backed treatment methods to help you build better coping skills, manage cravings, and set yourself up for successful sober living.
Mental health and substance use challenges don’t exist separately, so treatment shouldn’t either. Their Dual Diagnosis Intensive Outpatient Program (DDIOP) gives you a steady routine with therapy, relapse prevention, and practical skills woven into each day. You stay in the community, but with a structured plan that keeps you grounded in recovery.
Watching a child struggle with both mental health and substance use is tough, but support is out there. The Adolescent Dual Diagnosis IOP (DDIOP) gives teens the structure they need without hospitalization. Therapy sessions focus on helping your teen understand their emotions and practice healthier coping skills.
The program wraps up with a graduation ceremony. At graduation, your child will get to showcase their talents and celebrate how far they’ve come.
CARE Hawaii provides a supportive, structured approach to addiction treatment while allowing you to stay connected to your daily life. With a focus on professional care and personal connection, it’s a place worth considering for a compassionate and holistic recovery environment.
