Hina Mauka is a top tier treatment and rehabilitation center located in Waipahu, Hawaii, in the United States. The services that it offers include programs directed at adults, adolescents, and families to overcome alcoholism and addiction issues in a setting that is safe and nurturing (Hina Mauka, 2009). Each of these programs has different goals and objectives that are outlined as manners to measure its success. This essay will exam Hina Mauka's Teen C.A.R.E. program, which is aimed at middle and high school students.
Hina Mauka's Teen C.A.R.E. program is an innovative program that offers outpatient treatment to adolescent patients during the school day and on campus. The program collaborates with a number of high schools on both the Island of Oahu and the Island of Kauai (2009). It locates counselors on the campuses of these high schools and middle schools, which facilitates consistency, visibility, and accessibility of the services, while also providing support for both the staff and the students of the high school (2009). The treatment that the Teen C.A.R.E. program offers includes individual and group process, counseling, recreational activities that do not include drugs or alcohol, and healthy role modeling (2009).
There appear to be multiple goals incorporated in the Teen C.A.R.E. program, although the website only states one, "to have the adolescent reduce or abstain from alcohol or drug use." No...
program. There is one clear objective that is stated on the website, which is "to role model healthy communication and teach skills that will make life work for them: staying in school, staying away from illegal activity, giving and receiving respect, and learning that it can be safe and healthy to trust." The objective is much more clearly defined, as it is clearly stated on the website that there is one; the goals are less clearly defined because, while the website states that there are "goals" in the plural form, only one is listed on the website. It is unclear as to which other goals they are referring.
The Teen C.A.R.E. goal, to have students reduce use of and abstain from alcohol and drug use, is clearly a goal because it is something that is to be accomplished in the long-term. Meanwhile, the objective, to "role model healthy communication and teach skills that will make life work for them: staying in school, staying away from illegal activity, giving and receiving respect, and learning that it can be safe and healthy to trust," is clearly an objective. The reason for this assessment is that teaching specific skills, helping students to stay in school, helping students to stay away from illegal activity, and learning to give and receive respect and trust, are much more concrete attainments. They can be achieved by following a certain number of steps,…
There are both manifest and latent characteristics of the goal and objective listed on the Hina Mauka Teen C.A.R.E. website. The latent characteristics include such achievements as receiving respect and learning that it can be safe and healthy to trust: these accomplishments may not be outwardly evident to a third party, thus making them latent. Meanwhile, there are a number of manifest goals which can be witnessed by a third party. They include staying in school, staying away from legal activity, giving respect, and reducing and abstaining from drug and alcohol use.
While it is evident that Hina Mauka has defined the reduction and abstinence of alcohol and drugs as its goal, and the role modeling of healthy communication and the teaching of life skills to their participants as the objective, the two also follow the traditional characteristics that would be found in a goal or objective, respectively. Again, the reduction and abstinence of alcohol and drugs is a goal because it is a long-term goal that is to be accomplished. It, in itself, is the reason the Teen C.A.R.E. program exists, and is based on ideas and incorporates a broad plan and fairly generic action. Meanwhile, role modeling healthy communication and teaching life skills is clearly an objective because it is more tangible and exists on a shorter term, comparatively speaking. The objective is based on fact, and incorporates a much narrower plan, such as promoting staying in school and staying away from illegal activity. It also consists of much more specific action that must be taken. Therefore, the goal and objective listed on the Hina Mauka website are accurate in their claims.

Treatment Plan When a client presents for alcohol addiction, one of the most fundamental facts a therapist should understand is that the substance and its physical effects on the body is seldom the fundamental reason for continued struggle. During the first step of creating a treatment plan, the therapist should therefore consider the underlying psychological and mental conditions that might have led to the first appearance of the abuse or dependence
A counselor like any other physician, or medical practitioner must help. That is their first and only objective. The relationship between a counselor and their client must first and foremost be a beneficial and safe one. If at any point either party begins to feel as though the relationship is no longer helpful, or either party feels threatened in any way then the relationship must be terminated. Treatment should never
Intensity of the patient's illness, long-term prognosis, balance between medical and somatic symptoms, and realistic goal-setting will influence the patient's ability to function and his or her treatment (Groth-Marnat, 2009, p.604). Duration of the treatment course is another factor to consider: Long vs. short-range treatment duration is determined by the intensity of the disorder; its specificity; the age and level of social support of the patient; and the patient's level
