 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After 3 years of school avoidance, residential and hospital stays, screen addiction and risky behavior, we didn't know how to help or talk to our 16 year old daughter. Pacific Quest seemed different from other programs we had considered for her, so we were hopeful for some positive change when we sent her 5 thousand miles away. After the first few weeks it was clear that the program and clinical staff were even better than we had hoped. Their holistic approach to health, emphasizing healthy diet, sleep, exercise and time in nature, balancing meds and supplements had an immediate positive impact. The care, kindness and respect that the highly qualified clinical team showed our daughter, allowed her to trust and be vulnerable in her individual therapy as well as our family sessions. She learned so much about herself, her emotions and how to manage them, while we learned about better ways to communicate with her,  within our family and how to repair broken trust. She is now attending an alternative boarding school, and for the first time in a long time, we are optimistic for her future. Hawaii is a magical place, and all the staff at PQ, the therapists, medical team and program team make Pacific Quest a truly magical healing place. I highly recommend it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our teen is currently in his 8th week at Pacific Quest and we have been very happy with the care and support he has received so far. We have seen significant progress since he first started the program. His therapist is a good fit and we receive feedback each week about our son's progress. I am glad that we chose this program with the help of an educational consultant.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pacific Quest is a blessing, a God-send. At first I was against an RTC placement & the long distance from mainland USA. However, PQ has a team of exceptional, experienced, well-trained, & loving personnel. In about 90 days, they achieved clear & immense progress for my child & me. Where once I had little to no hope for a positive relationship with my child, now hope is clear for our short-term & long-term relationship. PQ is a blessing & well-worth the costs, aka investment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Overall, we were satisfied with the level and type of treatment our daughter received at PQ. This was a necessary step after we had tried many other avenues to help her stabilize. We appreciated the holistic approach to medicine, food and supplements to help support a healthier way of living. The therapy and group interaction was also very helpful. Aside from our daughter's treatment, we, as parents were also following a parallel process to rethink the family dynamic. It was almost as much about our daughter as it was about us. Lots of parent groups, calls and family therapy to change our approach and learn how to handle situations in a better way. About 2/3 of the way thru the 90 day program, we attend the Family Program (Fam Pro) 3 day intensive. It turned out to be a very valuable use of time and allowed our family to connect and understand each other much differently. We really connected with Dr. Rob Gent and this provided a path to deeper understanding of our daughter and her mindset. There were a few bumps in the road and not everything PQ did was perfect. Nobody is, I suppose. But we provided feedback to them and hopefully they can learn new ways as well. We all can...

Meet the PQ Team

We are licensed by the Hawaii State Department of Health as a Therapeutic Living Program. Successfully undergoing this rigorous evaluation process means we are held to incredibly high standards when it comes to quality of care and safety, accountability and oversight, professional recognition and credibility, and protection of patients’ rights.

We are accredited as Residential Treatment by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), which is an independent, nonprofit organization that serves as an accrediting body in the health and human services industry worldwide. We chose the CARF accreditation because it’s more of a patient-centered care model (rather than insurance-centered model like JCAHO). For this accreditation alone, Pacific Quest’s program was evaluated on over 1,500 separate criteria.

We are accredited by Cognia, which is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that accredits schools and learning curriculum throughout the United States and internationally. This allows us to offer High School credits to our residents who need them.
