About Comprehensive Health and Attitude
Comprehensive Health and Attitude Management Program, doing business as CHAMP Clinic, operates a federally certified Opioid Treatment Program at 173 South Kukui Street in downtown Honolulu, with a companion clinic on Maui. The program is built around methadone maintenance therapy, which has decades of clinical evidence supporting its use for people dependent on heroin, prescription opioids such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, and semi-synthetic narcotics. Patients receive carefully titrated dosing alongside the structured counseling required by federal OTP regulations.
Clinical services extend well beyond medication. CHAMP integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, individual counseling, and case management to address the practical and emotional dimensions of recovery. Case managers help patients stay engaged in treatment while simultaneously working on housing, family, employment, and legal challenges that often accompany long-term opioid dependence. Counselors guide patients through the stages of behavioral change, from planning through implementation and reintegration into the community.
For patients who demonstrate consistent abstinence and adequate social supports, CHAMP offers gradual, individualized detoxification rather than abrupt discontinuation. Vocational planning and community-resource referrals are woven into the recovery plan, drawing on government and nonprofit programs across Hawaii. Emotional support is available through both scheduled appointments and an open-door policy that lets patients meet briefly with a counselor when cravings or stressors arise unexpectedly.
The Honolulu clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay. CARF accreditation and federal OTP certification reflect ongoing third-party oversight of the program’s clinical and ethical standards. Dispensing hours run early in the morning Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday so that patients can dose before work, and free confidential consultations are available by phone in both Honolulu and Wailuku.
