About Tripler Army Medical Center – Honolulu
Tripler Army Medical Center is located in Hawaii on the island of O’ahu, specifically in the Moanalua area of Honolulu. They provide mental and behavioral health treatment to active duty military members and veterans who are reacting to stress or traumatic experiences, including challenging mental health conditions or substance use disorders.
The military health system uses Targeted Care to ensure you receive the right mental health support, including individual or group therapy sessions and non-clinical support. The military rolled out the Targeted Care program as a pilot test at nine hospitals and clinics in 2023. This unique program was then rolled out to all hospitals and clinics in 2024 to connect you to the most appropriate mental health resources to improve care delivery and finance efficiency.
Targeted Care allows the military to identify clinical and non-clinical resources that can effectively address your specific needs, as opposed to the past process of using specialty mental health as the resource to handle all mental health needs. The program synchronizes your resources beginning with a preliminary assessment.
This leads to a treatment plan that may include primary or specialty care consultants, military and family life counselors, and a chaplain. Other services include primary care behavioral health consultants, health psychology services for medical issues, and psychiatric medication management.
Your program may include skills building classes that improve your mindfulness, decision making, and problem-solving strategies. You do not need a referral to receive care which includes substance abuse treatment using medication assisted options when appropriate. They also offer a crisis stabilization walk-in clinic and intensive outpatient programs that address trauma, addiction, and depression.
They accept TRICARE insurance, which covers medically and psychologically necessary treatment for inpatient and outpatient services.
