Hina Mauka/Teen Care

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Kaneohe, 3.4 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Kailua, about a mile away.

They do video appointments, which matters if Kailua is a drive for you.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Kailua has 8 other centers to compare.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Kailua specifically.

Plenty of programs accept referrals from a court, a probation officer or a child welfare agency. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Confirm the program is on the approved list before the first session rather than after it.

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. Clothing rules exist at many places, usually about what is written on it rather than what it costs. Ask what the first twenty four hours look like, because that is what you are packing for.

Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. If a license or a clearance is involved, get advice specific to your profession.
