About Maui Champ Clinic Inc
Maui CHAMP Clinic Inc is a SAMHSA-certified Opioid Treatment Program serving Hawaii residents with opioid use disorder, including dependence on heroin and prescription narcotic pain medications. The Maui location at 270 Waiehu Beach Road, Suite 115 in Wailuku operates alongside a companion clinic on Oahu at 173 South Kukui Street in Honolulu, giving Hawaii patients access to one of the only methadone-based opioid treatment programs in the state. The clinic is CARF-accredited, signaling sustained investment in clinical quality.
The core clinical service is methadone maintenance therapy, the most extensively researched and validated treatment for opioid dependence. Methadone is taken daily under medical supervision to reduce cravings and block the euphoric effects of illicit opioids, allowing patients to stabilize and rebuild active, meaningful lives without the chaos of active addiction. The clinic dispenses methadone four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) during early-morning windows, with case management, counseling, and behavioral support wrapping around the medication.
Gradual detoxification — tapering off methadone over time — is available for patients who demonstrate consistent abstinence and have stable home, work, and social resources to support discharge from maintenance therapy. The decision is individualized rather than time-bound; the clinic emphasizes that detoxification is more successful when it’s gradual and supported by adequate community resources, and is undertaken on a case-by-case basis. For some patients, long-term maintenance is the right clinical answer; for others, eventual taper makes sense.
Beyond methadone, the program provides comprehensive case management focused on whole-person recovery: emotional support through scheduled and open-door counseling, vocational planning with referrals to government and community resources, and assistance navigating the changes that recovery requires. SAMHSA records confirm dedicated programming for veterans, pregnant women, young adults, seniors, men, and women. Payment options include Medicaid (Hawaii Med-QUEST), Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay. Free confidential consultations are available at the Maui line (808) 249-8784 or the Oahu line (808) 426-4515.
