About CARE Hawaii Inc

CARE Hawaii, Inc. is a Honolulu-based behavioral health organization founded in 1999 that serves people across Hawaii living with mental illness, developmental delays, and substance-related issues. Their approach centers on giving clients and their families practical skills to handle life’s challenges, with attention to physical, emotional, social, and educational well-being. They offer a broad continuum for adults that includes community-based case management, day treatment, partial hospitalization, aftercare, and several levels of residential care. Case management is available on Oahu, Hawaii Island, Maui, and Kauai, while the residential programs are located on Oahu.

For people facing both serious mental illness and addiction, their Day Treatment program focuses on relapse prevention and recovery through group counseling, education, skill building, recreational therapy, and family services, followed by an aftercare track of group and individual therapy for graduates. The medically supervised Partial Hospitalization Program provides more intensive support, emphasizing crisis stabilization, coping skills, and medication management for those at risk of hospitalization. Their Specialized Residential Services Population program offers up to six months of 24-hour care for as many as eight adults, including those with co-occurring alcohol and drug problems, with programming aimed at maintaining abstinence, regaining employment, and rebuilding relationships. Wraparound supports such as psychiatric and nursing care, help securing housing and benefits, and Medicaid-funded housing assistance for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness round out their services.
