Bobby Benson Center provides a comprehensive range of treatment services to support individuals at every stage of recovery.

Our programs include:

• Residential Treatment for adolescents (ages 13–17) – 24-hour monitored care at our North Shore Kahuku facility.

• Outpatient (OP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) services for both adolescents and adults – conveniently located in Kalihi.

Each program emphasizes healing through connection, empowerment, and transformation, addressing both substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Our clinical team conducts a comprehensive assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care. We consider individual needs, mental health status, substance use history, and family circumstances. The goal is to ensure each client receives the right support in the right setting — whether that’s residential care, IOP, or outpatient services.

Bobby Benson Center accepts major insurance plans, including HMSA, UHA, Kaiser & Kaiser Quest, HMSA & HMSA Quest, United Healthcare Alliance, Optum, and Hawaii Laborers Union.

For those without insurance, we’ll work with you to explore state-funded options (such as CAMHD & ADAD) or discuss what other payment options are available. Our team is committed to helping every individual access the care they need without unnecessary barriers.

Absolutely. Family engagement is a core part of our treatment philosophy.

We believe healing is most effective when families learn, communicate, and recover together. Families are encouraged to participate in family therapy sessions, Sunday visits, and be involved in their loved ones treatment — building understanding and resilience for lasting change.

No. While we offer Outpatient services for adults unfortunately Bobby Benson Center does not offer residential treatment for ages 18 and above. Please visit Hawaii Cares 988 HERE to get connected with resources for Adults.
