    The purpose of this article is two-fold. First, it aims to understand some of the earliest documented perspectives voiced by Native Hawaiian communities and their appeals for the concept of culturally based treatment. Second, it presents research, practice, and policy considerations with the goal of evolving the base of evidence supporting cultural treatment. Within the context of Hawai'i and Native Hawaiian history, this paper first contextualizes the emergence and conceptual orientation of culture-based addiction treatment. In discussing substance use disorder treatment in the Hawaiian context, insights and perspectives consider cultural-political trauma a key factor in developing a beneficial framework of practice. This historical background, however, reveals that contemporary culturally based design and service delivery is not aligned with the objective of specifically improving treatment for Native Hawaiians.
