Hui Ho‘ola O Na Nahulu O Hawai‘i The group that gives life back to the people of Hawaii
Program Description Hui Ho‘ola O Na Nahulu O Hawai‘i is a project of Drug Addiction Services f Hawai‘i, Inc., a non-profit service agency that provides information, prevention, referrals, treatment and continuing care for substance abusers in the State of Hawai‘i. Our program integrates science based substance abuse treatment approaches with the spiritual wisdom, healing, and traditions of the Hawaiian and local cultures to achieve landmark solutions to the problem of addiction.
Our Mission is to create a healing community grounded in the spirit and culture of Hawai‘i that reaches out to Hawaiians of all ethnicities suffering from the disease of addiction.Our purpose is to have one vision and one heart to create an environment of healing for the disease of addiction; to promote abstinence from drugs and alcohol; to enhance access to culturally appropriate services; and to increase the quality of life for the haumana, families, and the community.
Treatment Philosophy Assets Model Approach - Treatment emphasis is on strengths, talents in contrast to disease. Example, “Proud mother” vs. “drug addict”, Haumana vs. client Kupuna Abbie’s mana‘o – Everyone is born with talents and mana. Substance abuse separates the spirit from the person. Uhane hele (loss of spirit) - lost touch with mana - spirit needs to be awakened and reconnected.

GUIDELINES FOR CULTURAL/SPIRITUAL SERVICES • Staff themselves must make a commitment to spirituality – to discover their own spirituality and to learn and practice the values, behaviors, and concepts. Go inside for answers – from board to participant • Hire staff whose background matches the culture of the population • Philosophy must be congruent and consistent from management and administration to the curriculum • The setting must elicit a sense of comfort and relevance.
GUIDELINES FOR CULTURAL/SPIRITUAL SERVICES Cont’d • The core values must be universal and easy to understand. • Engage elders of the community who are respected in terms of family and community structure. • Maintain “pono”: staff interrelationships with self and others, God/Akua/Grandfather, etc. , and the land/sky/sea (as appropriate). Why? Because staff are powerful when modeling desired behaviors. • Accept that each person is a precious gift • Focus interaction on who you are • And where are you going?
