Our founder; President & CEO - Dr. Jamal F. Wasan

When the crystal methamphetamine epidemic escalated on the Big Island of Hawaii in the late 1990’s, Dr. Jamal F. Wasan responded by founding Waikoloa Community-Based Substance Abuse Rehabilitation and Recovery Program, now known as Lokahi Treatment Centers (“LTC”). He quickly learned that drug abuse was not an isolated problem and expanded LTC’s services to create an integrated model to address related mental health and anger issues, as well.
