Lōkahi Treatment Centers

When the crystal methamphetamine epidemic escalated on the Big Island of Hawai‘i in the late 1990’s, Dr. Jamal Wasan responded by founding the Waikoloa Community-Based Substance Abuse Rehabilitation and Recovery Program, which is known today as Lokahi Treatment Centers (LTC). Dr. Wasan quickly learned that drug abuse was not an isolated problem and expanded LTC services to create an integrated model to address related mental health and anger issues. Today, LTC provides services island-wide and has offices in Hilo, Honoka‘a, Kailua-Kona, Kohala, Pahoa and Waikoloa. LTC is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization
