Questions people ask about Ku Aloha Ola Mau - Methadone Maintenance

What kind of care does Ku Aloha Ola Mau - Methadone Maintenance provide?

They are set up for 3 levels: outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Honolulu, 1 offers a bed.

They detox from opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 1 of the 8 centers near Honolulu offers one at all.

Is there a program at Ku Aloha Ola Mau - Methadone Maintenance for people like me?

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Honolulu does.

Is there a residential program at Ku Aloha Ola Mau - Methadone Maintenance?

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is under a mile away in Honolulu.

Is there an interpreter at Ku Aloha Ola Mau - Methadone Maintenance?

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Honolulu has 8 other centers and not all of them do.

What separates a good program from a bad one?

The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

What will I actually pay?

List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. A center that takes your plan will usually quote your share rather than the full price, which makes two quotes hard to compare. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.

Is there anything for the family?

Most programs include family sessions, and many treat the family as part of the work rather than as visitors. Visiting is usually restricted in the first week and opens up later. Look up the free family groups in Honolulu as well, because they outlast any program.
