Bobby Benson Center

North Shore Mental Health Main provides specialized outpatient addiction treatment designed for active duty military personnel across O'ahu. Their 30 and 60-day outpatient programs allow service members to engage in comprehensive substance abuse treatment while maintaining their military duties and responsibilities.

The recovery center serves multiple O'ahu communities including Aiea, Honolulu, Kaneohe, Wahiawa, and the North Shore areas of Kahuku and Sunset Beach. This broad service area ensures military families throughout the island can access consistent addiction treatment without extensive travel requirements.

The facility emphasizes family involvement as a cornerstone of successful long-term recovery. Their individual and family counseling services recognize that addiction affects entire family systems, particularly within military communities where deployments and service demands create additional stressors.

Clinical director Kama Tam, LMFT, CSAC, leads the therapeutic team in delivering psychotherapy services that address both substance abuse and underlying mental health concerns. This dual focus supports comprehensive recovery that extends beyond immediate addiction treatment.

North Shore Mental Health Main maintains 24-hour, seven-day-a-week mental health crisis support, providing immediate assistance when recovery challenges arise. This continuous availability ensures that clients have access to professional support during difficult moments in their recovery journey.

The facility's crisis support system complements their regular outpatient programming, creating a comprehensive safety net for military personnel navigating both addiction recovery and service-related stressors. This round-the-clock accessibility demonstrates their commitment to supporting long-term recovery success.

The recovery center accepts Ohana Wellcare insurance and receives federal government funding for substance abuse programs, making their services accessible to military families. This financial accessibility removes common barriers to addiction treatment within military communities.

Since 2024, the facility has focused exclusively on serving active duty military personnel, developing expertise in the unique challenges this population faces in recovery. Their specialized approach recognizes the intersection of military service demands and substance abuse recovery needs.
