In 2013, BISAC had to close its West Hawaii treatment center because of budgetary concerns stemming from a loss of funding from the state.
BISAC has brought on Dr. Katherine May to head the program in West Hawaii. She is originally from London and has a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Surrey. She is also a certified substance abuse counselor with more than 10 years of experience in the United Kingdom and Hawaii, in the field of addiction and mental health.
