Established in 2004

Pacific Quest represents the evolution of wilderness therapy. Our behavioral health program integrates nature’s healing capabilities and a residential program’s clinical resources and safety. We use horticultural therapy, individualized experiences, and a treatment approach that prioritizes whole-person wellness. Through these tools, our program equips young people to lead better, more fulfilling lives.

Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, our program is rooted in connection to nature and sustainable growth.

Growth

Each young person at Pacific Quest learns to navigate life transitions—both now and in the future. `

Change

Our wellness program centers on the mind-body connection and provides tools for young people to care for both.

Wellness

Our family had what I would call a "complete" experience at Pacific Quest. Our daughter's whole being was nourished by this beautiful tropical environment filled with the beauty and teachings of the plants and the highly qualified and compassionate staff. The challenging work that both she and her father and I underwent was well worth all the soul searching, the hours of writing and self reflection and the transformed daughter we embraced at the end of her stay at PQ. I cannot recommend this experience enough for a teenager living in these chaotic and trouble times.
