LGBTQ Dual Diagnosis Treatment 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.

Being able to be yourself in treatment

Treatment works best when you can talk honestly about your life: your partner, your family, your gender, where and why you use. In a program that runs an LGBTQ group, those conversations are expected rather than awkward. Ask any program how staff are trained and how they handle names, pronouns and rooming.

See questions to ask an LGBTQ rehab before you commit.

How dual diagnosis treatment works

Depression, anxiety, PTSD and other conditions can drive substance use, and substance use can make them worse. Treating both together breaks that loop. Ask programs near Hawaii whether a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner is part of the team.
