Big Island Substance Abuse Council is a dedicated drug and alcohol treatment facility located in Honokaa, HI, serving the Big Island community with compassionate, evidence-based care. The facility specializes in supporting adolescents and teens struggling with substance abuse, as well as persons living with HIV/AIDS who are navigating co-occurring addiction challenges. By offering school-based programming through Honokaa Middle School, the facility brings treatment closer to young people and families who need accessible help.
Big Island Substance Abuse Council provides outpatient substance abuse treatment services designed to help individuals maintain their daily responsibilities while receiving professional care. Outpatient programs are ideal for those who do not require 24-hour residential monitoring and can benefit from structured therapy sessions, counseling, and support while living at home or in a community setting. The facility's school-based program is particularly valuable for adolescents and teens, removing barriers to treatment by integrating services into a familiar educational environment. This approach helps young people stay connected to their studies and peer support systems while addressing their substance abuse concerns with specialized, age-appropriate interventions.
Big Island Substance Abuse Council works to ensure that cost is never a barrier to receiving the treatment you need. The facility accepts various payment options to accommodate different financial situations, and most insurance plans—including those required to provide mental health and substance abuse coverage under the Mental Health Parity Act—can be used toward treatment. If you have questions about your specific insurance coverage or need help understanding your payment options, the admissions team is ready to help clarify your benefits and discuss affordable care solutions.
