About Ku Aloha Ola Mau Turban Joseph MD

Kū Aloha Ola Mau has been around since 1976. Their holistic addiction recovery center is located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The name of their center means “stand lovingly and compassionately in everlasting life and health,” and they use this as their motto. They help about 400 clients every day by helping them recover from heroin, cocaine, alcohol or other substances.

They provide medication assisted treatment as well as traditional Hawaiian healing methods. They also serve families that are impacted by the substance abuse of one of their loved ones. There’s an array of clinical treatments, and their team includes certified substance abuse counselors, marriage and family therapists, doctors and registered nurses and volunteers. You can also get telehealth services for optimal convenience.

Services at the Honolulu clinic include screening and assessment, prevention, and either intensive outpatient or outpatient treatment depending on the severity of your addiction. I like that they do outreach and present to community groups on request.

Their medication assisted treatment program provides clients with FDA-approved medication including methadone and buprenorphine to combat opioid use disorders. You can get either short or long term detox and maintenance doses.

As part of your treatment, you’ll get access to a counselor for individual therapy. In these private sessions, you’ll explore the root causes of your addiction and also learn how to reframe your thoughts. You’ll set recovery goals and work towards them. In group sessions, you and a small group of peers will be facilitated by a counselor as you share your experiences, ask and answer questions and learn together.

I like that they also offer prenatal counseling for expectant parents as well as HIV prevention education.

Their Hui program is based on spiritual practices that use traditional cultural healing practices and ceremonies that are also proven in the addiction fields.

Amenities

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Metropolitan Area

Addiction treatment in the metro area benefits clients by offering seamless connections from the city, around the state, and those seeking out-of-state treatment. Another benefit of attending a metro area drug rehab is that you’re close to major airports and ground transportation services.

Business Center

Business centers are a preferred amenity in many mental health and addiction recovery facilities and typically feature secure, high-speed internet, computer stations, printers, and related business technologies. Business centers are designed to enable professionals and students to continue to participate in work or school activities without leaving the treatment facility.

Yoga Studio

Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

Men and women over 18 who struggle with substance abuse can receive treatment through an adult program in Hawaii. Programs may include inpatient and/or outpatient care and typically include individual and group therapy methods.

LGBTQ Friendly Rehab

Offering specialized addiction treatment for LGBTQ+ people, LGBTQ-friendly rehabs in Hawaii provide a safe space and they employ experienced staff that are trained in understanding the unique challenges and stressors of the LGBTQ+ community. This allows the programs to see higher success rates.

Alcoholism

Remission from alcohol use disorder is achieved through effective alcohol rehab in Hawaii. Participants learn how to cease heavy drinking and develop healthy lifestyle habits that lead to long-term sobriety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Hawaii teaches people positive behaviors to replace alcohol and drug use. They learn better ways to cope with negative thoughts and emotions and challenging situations.

Drug Rehab

Drug rehab in Hawaii is for individuals suffering from substance use disorders. Treatment addresses the many issues involved with addiction, typically through a combination of medical and psychotherapy treatments.

Men's Rehab

Men’s rehab in Hawaii often reduces the risk of relapse and increases treatment completion rates by giving men the opportunity to create bonds with other men who have similar challenges. They feel comfortable sharing their struggles, and continue the supportive relationships after treatment.

Rehab For Veterans

During Veteran’s rehab in Hawaii, participants undergo an assessment to identify any co-occurring disorders such as PTSD. Specialists then develop a rehab plan tailored to each Veteran’s needs. Treatment may include individual therapy, group therapy, and support groups.

Opioid Treatment

Opioid rehab in Hawaii helps people recover from opioid use disorders and improve their lives. Treatment teaches participants new skills to end opioid dependence and prevent relapse. Methods include detox, inpatient, and outpatient treatment.

Women's Rehab

Because women often abuse substances for different reasons than men, women’s rehab in Hawaii provides treatment that is targeted for women. Programs focus on specific trauma, stigma, bias, and gender-role issues that can affect substance use disorders among women.

Teen & Adolescent Program

A young adult program in Hawaii is important for addressing the needs of this stage of life. Young adults face different challenges and have different motivations for using substances than older adults, and a young adult rehab program addresses these unique needs.

Levels of Care

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Aftercare & Alumni Program

Aftercare rehab in Hawaii typically lasts for a year after your initial treatment. This program provides ongoing support to maintain sober living. Support may include budgeting assistance, career guidance, and continued counseling, as well as 12-step meetings.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Intervention services in Hawaii are often necessary to convince your loved one to get the treatment they need. Professional intervention specialists can provide pre-intervention counseling for family members, assist with staging an intervention, and provide resources to create a treatment plan.

Detox & MAT

The first step to becoming drug-free is detox. During this initial stage of drug rehab in Hawaii, your body is cleansed of all additive substances. The length of time varies by individual, but it always involves 24/7 medical supervision for a slow, safe process.

Outpatient Rehab

During outpatient rehab in Hawaii, you will have more freedom and less oversight than with inpatient treatment. The goals will be to stay clean, demonstrate the ability to act responsibly, and show continual progress toward recovery. This will include attending therapy and support group sessions.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

Often, substance abuse and mental health disorders are intricately linked. For successful recovery, Hawaii dual diagnosis treatment is necessary. This integrated approach provides crucial tools for improving both conditions and putting you on the path to recovery.
