About Lokahi Treatment Center Pahoa
Pahoa, Hawaii is south of Hilo and known for its free spirited, laid back vibe and its natural landscapes forged by the powerful Kīlauea volcano nearby. This small town offers an alternative to common tourist destinations, and it’s also where you’ll find one of Lokahi Treatment Center’s outpatient clinics. They treat mental health conditions and substance use and deliver court ordered classes as well.
Lokahi accepts most insurance plans, which may include Medicare and Medicaid. You can call the Pahoa clinic directly to verify your coverage before you start treatment.
Outpatient Treatment for Addiction and Mental Health
One thing that stands out about Lokahi is their commitment to culturally appropriate care for all ages on the Big Island. They provide a non judgmental environment and provide strengths based holistic treatment.
Outpatient and substance use treatment starts with assessments to fully understand your needs. It will also help the team determine if you need integrated care for co occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
Services include individual, family and group therapy. The groups can be gender specific and they also have co ed options. If necessary, they can administer and monitor psychiatric medications.
Classes For Those in the Justice System
Another service that caught my attention is the court ordered classes and assessments that the Lokahi team supplies. It’s common with certain types of criminal charges to have educational requirements as part of the probation or parole process or as an alternative to jail.
The Lokahi Treatment Center administers anger management and domestic violence assessments and classes. They report your results to the courts, allowing you to satisfy legal requirements and move forward with your life.
