Our daughter went to Pacific Quest (PQ) in the spring of 2018. She suffered from depression and anxiety. Regular therapy at home was not enough and we heard about PQ. We were very reluctant to send her away from home. However, the staff made us feel better about the decision. Now, we know it was the best decision we could have made. It changed her life! The healthy living made a huge difference. The on-going therapy with Andrew Vispo (who was absolutely fantastic) helped her immensely and helped us. We will be forever grateful to PQ, Andrew and the rest of the staff.

PACIFIC QUEST ADMISSIONS
Process & Profile
Pacific Quest is not a one-size-fits-all treatment experience. Since 2004, we’ve developed and refined a successful approach to working with youth experiencing internalized distress. The Pacific Quest admissions process has evolved in parallel to ensure we enroll students we feel confident we can help.
Call us: 808-937-5806
It all starts with a phone call. Our non-commissioned admissions team is ready to answer your questions, learn more about your situation and goals, and discuss options.
We’ll also discuss insurance options and review your plan benefits.
Application
Our confidential online application takes most families an evening to fill out. This is a chance to learn more about patterns, relevant medical history, and therapeutic goals. There is no fee to apply.
Review
Our multidisciplinary review takes 1-2 days in most cases. In some situations, our team may need to speak with current medical or therapeutic providers. In these cases, the review process may take a bit longer.
In addition to reviewing for fit, our team will develop an initial treatment plan and assign a treatment team. We will often have a number of follow up questions to ensure we are ready to provide a smooth transition into our care.
Enrollment Logistics
Provided PQ is a good match, we will work through the following logistics:
• Arrange travel into either Hilo (ITO) or Kona (KOA) airport.
• Complete enrollment documents/releases
• Submit recent physical exam (within 14 days of admission) and TB screening (within 1 year) ; in many cases these can be completed here.
• Arrange payment
Arrival
We’ll work with your family to create an arrival plan that ensures a smooth and safe transition into our care.
Student profiles include:
We’re not the best option for students…
• Experiencing psychosis/schizophrenia or other thought-based disorders
• With primary substance addiction or students at risk for withdrawal
• Displaying out-of-home aggression
• Diagnosed with certain types of mental health disorders and are not compliant with medication
• Exhibiting certain types of high risk behavior
• Experiencing acute mental health crisis
• Requiring regular access to specialized medical care
• With certain types of chronic health conditions
Our Work with Clinical Professionals
When our clinical team communicates with home-based therapists and professionals, we’re better able to create a cohesive experience for our participants. This collaborative approach is essential to each student’s treatment plan, progress, and success.
