Questions people ask about Kokua Support Services - Main
What kind of care does Kokua Support Services - Main provide?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Honolulu, 1 offers a bed.
Does Kokua Support Services - Main offer a detox?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is a few streets away in Honolulu.
What ages does Kokua Support Services - Main treat?
They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Honolulu has 8 other centers to try.
Is there a program at Kokua Support Services - Main for people like me?
Veterans are one of the 14 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Is there anything in Honolulu besides paid treatment?
Honolulu has 81 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Will a program make me come off my medication?
Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.
Is there family counseling?
There is almost always a family role, and centers differ most in how early it starts. A release of information, signed by the patient, is what opens that door, and it can be narrow or wide. Ask what the family part of the program is called and who runs it, because that shows how seriously it is treated.
What is buprenorphine used for?
Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. How long someone stays on a medication varies from months to years, and that decision belongs with a prescriber. If a specific medication matters to you, ask for it by name rather than asking about medication in general.
