Kikuyo Hospital

About

Kikuyo Hospital, located in Kikuyo-machi, Kikuchi-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture, provides internal medicine services while specializing in addiction treatment, with a particular focus on alcohol and gambling addiction. Addiction is characterized as a control disorder involving excessive involvement with a substance or behavior, and is considered an illness that disrupts emotional and sensory balance. The hospital offers treatment programs centered on inpatient psychotherapy, including structured rehabilitation through the Alcohol Rehabilitation Program (ARP) and Gambling Rehabilitation Program (GRP). Treatment is comprehensive, featuring educational sessions, cognitive behavioral therapy, creative activities, group meetings, sports, OB sobriety gatherings, hospital-wide meetings, and Coping Skills Training (CST). Through communal living, inpatients engage in learning and discussions with fellow patients to develop the mindset needed for sobriety and abstinence from gambling, while working to restore healthy daily routines. Since addiction affects not only the individual but also their family and those around them, family support is also prioritized. The facility accepts credit cards and electronic payments, offers parking, and is barrier-free accessible. English language support is available. Consultation hours are weekdays from 8:45 AM to 12:30 PM. The hospital is closed on weekends, holidays, and during the New Year period.
