The State of Hawaii - Office of Youth Services (OYS) funds this service. OYS - HYCF is a
Substance Abuse Treatment Program for incarcerated youth. Youth who choose to
participate in this program receive structured substance abuse education and
treatment services while incarcerated in the HYCF.
Services include individual/group sessions
focusing on substance abuse education, relapse prevention, social, recreational
and life skills. Program goals for
participants are to develop an awareness of how their substance use had a
negative impact in their lives and learn skills to maintain abstinence and
support a healthy lifestyle upon release from the facility. A follow-up is completed at 3 and 6 months
after a youth is discharged from the program or released from the HYCF.
