Big Island Substance Abuse Council is a dedicated drug and alcohol treatment facility serving the Kailua Kona community and surrounding areas of Hawaii's Big Island. Located at 74-5000 Puohulihuli Street, this facility specializes in helping adolescents, teens, and young adults overcome substance abuse and co-occurring mental health challenges. The program operates through a school-based model at Kealakehe High School, integrating treatment directly into the educational environment to support recovery without interrupting academic progress.
Big Island Substance Abuse Council offers outpatient substance abuse treatment designed to help patients maintain their daily responsibilities while receiving clinical care. Outpatient programs allow individuals to attend treatment sessions while living at home and continuing school or work, making recovery more accessible and flexible. The facility specializes in serving adolescents and teenagers who are struggling with substance use disorders, providing age-appropriate interventions that address the unique challenges young people face. Additionally, the center provides comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, recognizing that many patients deal with both conditions simultaneously. This dual-diagnosis approach ensures that underlying anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health conditions are treated alongside addiction, increasing the likelihood of sustained recovery.
Big Island Substance Abuse Council accepts insurance and works with patients to navigate payment options, ensuring that financial concerns do not prevent access to necessary treatment. Many insurance plans, including those required to comply with the Mental Health Parity Act, cover substance abuse and mental health treatment at levels comparable to other medical services. If you have questions about your specific coverage or need assistance understanding your benefits, the admissions team is ready to help clarify costs and payment arrangements.
