Kona Community Hospital

What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Kona Community Hospital

Kona Community Hospital is a substance use treatment operated by State government in Kealakekua, Hawaii. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (residential, detox), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 79-1019 Haukapila Street, Kealakekua, HI 96750.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 9 distinct service lines (12-step facilitation, Co-occurring disorder treatment, Detoxification, Hospital inpatient, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 7 clinical treatment approaches (12-step facilitation, Anger management, Brief intervention, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling). It serves 8 specific population groups (Adults, Justice-involved individuals, Men, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Persons with co-occurring pain, Women, Young adults) with 1 language of care (Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, plus 6 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment, Federal military insurance (e.g., TRICARE), Federal, or any government funding for substance use treatment programs, Medicaid, Medicare, Private health insurance).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented substance use treatment listings in Hawaii: it reports 35 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 24% of 88 facilities statewide (state median: 25). More attributes reported generally means more of your specific questions (payment type, language, care setting) are answered before you call.
