About Hina Mauka
Hina Mauka has been providing substance use treatment on Oahu for over 50 years, beginning in the late 1960s as a group of dedicated volunteers at the Hawaii State Hospital working with people struggling with alcoholism. Today the CARF-accredited nonprofit operates a multi-program campus at 45-845 Pookela Street in Kaneohe and a separate Teen CARE program for adolescents, making it one of Hawaii’s most established and comprehensive addiction treatment providers.
The adult program is built around three clinical tracks delivered across multiple levels of care: Track 1 (Substance Abuse Program), Track 2 (Co-Occurring Program for dual diagnosis), and Track 3 (Offender Program for court-ordered and justice-involved clients). All three tracks are available in residential, day treatment, and outpatient settings, allowing clients to step between levels as their clinical needs evolve. Medical detox, psychiatric and medical services, family programming, case management, and structured aftercare round out the adult continuum. The Ke Alaula program is a specialized track working with incarcerated women.
The clinical team is led by CEO Brian Baker, a Registered Nurse with more than 30 years of behavioral health experience, and Chief Medical Officer Toshiyuki Shibata, MD, a Board Certified Psychiatrist. CFO Desie Graves brings 27+ years of nonprofit fund accounting expertise, and Director of Administration Sherrie Kinoshita serves as the organization’s Compliance Officer. The adolescent Teen CARE program is led by Director of Adolescent Services Colleen Fox, PhD, CSAC, CPS, CCS, with school-based, community-based, and in-home therapy options for teens and their families.
Hina Mauka treats substance use disorders broadly — alcohol and all major drug categories — alongside co-occurring mental health conditions. SAMHSA records confirm dedicated programming for court-ordered clients and deaf/hard-of-hearing clients, with American Sign Language services available. Pregnant women and intravenous drug users receive priority admission, reflecting a clinical commitment to those at highest risk. Payment options include Medicaid (Hawaii Med-QUEST), private insurance, and self-pay clients, supported by the Kōkua Fund for clients who need financial assistance. The intake line is (808) 236-2600 and applications are available online through hinamauka.org.
