Ka Hale Pomaika’i is Moloka’i’s premier Recovery Community Organization. Its members, participants, staff and board of directors are all comprised of persons in recovery or are family and allies of persons in recovery. Anyone who is on the path of sobriety is welcome to meet and join with other who are on this shared road.
Ka Hale Pomaika’i presently provides counseling services to people who may need introduction to or support in becoming sober. Many of our participants are adults who come to the organization for advice or support in their recovery. Others are those who have been referred because they have demonstrated a need to re-examine their substance use.

  • avoid relapse
  • assist a distressed family member of a substance abuser
  • hear information on addiction or the effects of alcohol and other drug abuse
  • receive referrals to other related community social services
  • gain information and outreach support for various 12-step self-help groups
  • schedule emergency food box pick-up
  • arrange for transportation to a recovery related meeting or appointment
