LGBTQ Drug Rehab in Hawaii

Treatment rules and programs in Hawaii

Who oversees treatment

In Hawaii, the Department of Health's Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division accredits substance use treatment programs, while the department's Office of Health Care Assurance handles state licensing of special treatment facilities and therapeutic living programs.

Prescription monitoring

Hawaii's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is operated by the Narcotics Enforcement Division of the Department of Law Enforcement and keeps a record of controlled-substance prescriptions that prescribers and pharmacies can use.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Hawaii law (added to Chapter 329 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes by Act 217 of 2015) protects a person who seeks medical help in good faith for a drug or alcohol overdose from arrest and prosecution for certain offenses such as drug possession.

Court-ordered treatment

Hawaii's civil commitment law in Chapter 334 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes allows court-ordered involuntary hospitalization for a person with mental illness or a substance abuse problem who is imminently dangerous, gravely disabled or obviously ill and has no suitable less restrictive option.

Featured drug treatment programs in Hawaii

Family, rejection and recovery

Many LGBTQ people carry experiences of family rejection or strained relationships into treatment. Research on LGBTQ young people has linked family rejection with higher rates of substance use and depression, while family acceptance is protective.

Good programs make room for chosen family and offer family sessions when they help. Our guide on family rejection and recovery covers this in more depth.

How drug rehab works

Good drug rehab treats the whole picture: the drug, any mental health conditions, physical health and the social life around use. If you use more than one substance, tell the program so the plan covers all of them.
