In short
Private detox in Hawaii runs two ways. On the Big Island, Exclusive Hawaii Rehab at Hakalau detoxes on site inside its 30-day program, $49,000 to $69,000 depending on the room.1 On Maui, detox comes first, on the mainland or on Maui, and Maui Recovery in Lahaina admits once it is complete, program-confirmed from $60,000 for 30 days and paid privately or through out-of-network insurance.23 Detox through insurance or Med-QUEST is a different kind of program, run by state-contracted units on each island, and listed at the end of this page. If someone is in danger now, call or text 988.

The private tier
Two private routes: detox on site, or detox and then Maui.
Detox and treatment in one stay, on the Big Island. Exclusive Hawaii Rehab at Hakalau, on the Hamakua Coast north of Hilo, runs detox inside its 30-day program. Its medical director sets the detox protocol from blood work taken on arrival, which is why arrivals run Monday to Friday between 9 AM and 1 PM. The month costs $49,000, $59,000 or $69,000 depending on the room, and the program takes out-of-network insurance, paid up front and reimbursed afterward.1 Our guide to what Exclusive Hawaii Rehab costs sets out the detail.
Detox first, then a month on Maui. Maui Recovery in Lahaina does not run detox. Detox happens first, on the mainland or on Maui, and Maui Recovery admits once it is complete (operator-confirmed, 31 July 2026). It keeps eight guests across three houses above Lahaina.4 A 30-day stay is program-confirmed from $60,000 as of August 2026, paid privately or through PPO out-of-network benefits checked with admissions.23 Kahului Airport is 36 to 43 minutes away by car.5
If the stay itself has to include detox, The Exclusive does both in one place. If Maui is the draw, detox comes first, and the month at Maui Recovery follows it.

Through insurance or Med-QUEST
In-network and Med-QUEST detox is a different kind of program.
These programs are larger, contracted by the state or in-network with insurers, and paid through insurance or Med-QUEST rather than privately. For many people they are the right route. Hawaii CARES, at 988 or 1-800-753-6879, connects people anywhere in the state to them and finds an open bed.9
- Maui: Aloha House in Makawao, where most people stay five to seven days with nursing around the clock; it takes many forms of insurance and helps with Med-QUEST enrollment.67
- Oahu: the Salvation Army’s Addiction Treatment Services for men and its Women’s Way program for women, and the Institute for Human Services’ Imi Ola Piha.7
- Big Island: a men’s unit at the Big Island Substance Abuse Council, under state contract,7 and Hawaii Island Recovery in Kailua-Kona, which publishes a medically assisted detox program and is in-network with most major insurers.8
Our guide to luxury rehab in Hawaii ranks the private programs across the islands, and our Hawaii cost guide sets out what each one charges.
