Waimea Canyon/Teen Care

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Waimea has 1 other center within 14 miles.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Waimea offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Waimea often still has to be in person.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Waimea has 1 other center to compare.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Waimea.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Waimea has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Four questions separate most programs: who prescribes, what the step down is, what it costs, and who it is built for. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather have someone else do the comparing.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. Family education is often the part that changes how a household behaves, which is what the person comes home to. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.
