About VA Pacific Islands Health Care System – Kauai CBOC

The VA Pacific Islands Health Care System Kauai CBOC, also known as the Lihue VA Clinic services Veterans on the island of Kauai, Hawaii.

The clinic offers substance use and alcohol treatment, mental health care and primary care services tailored to adult Veterans, including women Veterans, older adults, LGBTQ+ Veterans and those experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Care here is rooted in a whole-person approach connecting Veterans to the broader VA Pacific Islands network while keeping support close to home.

Veteran-Centered Health Care

I found that the Kauai CBOC provides outpatient substance use and alcohol treatment alongside integrated mental health services for Veterans navigating addiction, co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis concerns.

As part of the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System the clinic draws on a coordinated network of providers experienced in Veteran-specific recovery needs.

Treatment may include outpatient and intensive outpatient programming, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and aftercare support.

Sessions are designed to address both substance use patterns and underlying mental health conditions with telehealth options available to keep care consistent and accessible.

Island Access and Whole-Health Support

Beyond addiction care, I appreciate that the Lihue clinic offers primary care, laboratory services, caregiver support, geriatrics and homeless Veteran services, allowing recovery to take place within a fuller continuum of health.

Transportation assistance, including DAV van coordination and beneficiary travel benefits helps reduce access barriers for Veterans across Kauai.
