Questions people ask about YMCA of Honolulu
Is YMCA of Honolulu inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Waialua, 9.0 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Does YMCA of Honolulu offer a detox?
They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Waianae does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Waianae has 8 other centers to ask.
Can I do this by video instead?
They do video appointments, which matters if Waianae is a drive for you.
Can a 16 year old be treated at YMCA of Honolulu?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, which in Waianae is worth confirming before you drive over.
Does YMCA of Honolulu prescribe medication for opioid use?
They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Waianae has 8 other centers.
Should family be part of this?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. A release of information, signed by the patient, is what opens that door, and it can be narrow or wide. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.
Is 30 days enough?
Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.
