Ohana Makamae Inc

For residents of Hana and East Maui, accessing addiction treatment has historically meant leaving the community entirely. Ohana Makamae Inc changes that by providing a local outpatient program that people can attend while staying connected to their families, their work, and the place they call home. The center operates four days a week — Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM — giving participants a consistent, structured schedule that supports long-term recovery without requiring relocation.

This outpatient model is particularly meaningful in East Maui, where the nearest alternative treatment options are hours away. By keeping recovery rooted in the local community, Ohana Makamae makes it possible for adolescents and young adults to receive substance abuse treatment without the disruption of leaving home — and for families to remain actively involved in their loved one's recovery process.

Ohana Makamae addresses more than substance use. The program treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis conditions alongside trauma and PTSD, acknowledging that for many people in recovery, these challenges are deeply connected. An outpatient program that can hold both mental health and addiction needs in the same setting reduces the burden on individuals who might otherwise have to coordinate care across multiple providers.

This integrated focus is especially relevant for adolescents and young adults, who may be earlier in recognizing how trauma and substance use intersect in their lives. The center also extends support to individuals managing HIV/AIDS-related health needs, reflecting a commitment to serving the full range of people seeking recovery support in East Maui.

The center explicitly serves adolescents, young adults between the ages of 18 and 25, and individuals who need HIV/AIDS support alongside their recovery care. These are populations that rural programs frequently overlook or are not equipped to serve well. For families in Hana evaluating outpatient options for a younger person, Ohana Makamae's direct focus on these age groups is a notable distinction.

Financial access is also part of the picture. Ohana Makamae accepts self-pay and offers financial assistance, which matters in a community where economic barriers can be as significant as geographic ones. Anyone interested in learning more can reach the center directly at (808) 248-8538 or by email at [email protected].

Taking the first step toward an outpatient program is often easier when the program is close to home. Ohana Makamae's location at 39 Keanini Drive in Hana puts recovery support within reach for East Maui residents who would otherwise face significant logistical obstacles. The center's weekday schedule allows individuals to build treatment into their routine without sacrificing employment or family responsibilities.
