Why choose alcohol rehab in Thailand?

Walking outside

Every individual will have different needs when it comes to seeking the most suitable form of rehabilitation for them.

This is because every individual case of addiction – whether alcohol addiction, another form of drug addiction or even a behavioural addiction – will have a different effect on each person.

These effects vary in severity and history, as well as the type of effects the individual experiences i.e., physical or mental health effects.

For some individuals, it may be suitable to attend rehabilitation away from their home country.

This includes locations such as Thailand, which has a large number of rehabilitation centres that can be suitable for many different cases.

In addition, many professionals within the field of addiction are also encouraged to visit these countries to study the care provided there, leading to studies showing the effectiveness of this practice. [1]

In any case, individuals considering Thailand, or any other country offering suitable rehabilitation options, should always discuss these options with a medical professional or expert in the field of addiction to ensure that it is the most appropriate and effective option for their health and their overall drug and alcohol rehab journey.

What does alcohol rehab in Thailand cost?

Many individuals may assume that alcohol rehab options abroad must be more expensive than the options available in their home country.

However, this may not always be the case. This is because there are many different factors that contribute to the overall cost of these services, no matter where they are received, and this varies from person to person.

In addition, different rehab centres also have different ways of calculating the overall charges within their rehab facilities.

The following list suggests some examples of different factors that could influence the cost of an individual’s time in drug and alcohol rehab:

  • Total number of days stayed
  • Type of accommodation in residential rehab i.e., private or shared accommodation
  • Any additional medications that the individual received in care
  • Additional food/snacks purchased while in care
  • Different service fees and other costs associated with each individual case

Before entering any type of alcohol rehabilitation, it is vital that individuals discuss their financial options with a rehab professional.

Rehab 4 Addiction offers support and guidance in paying rehabilitation bills and is available to discuss this through our addiction hotline 24/7.

Can I pay for alcohol rehab in Thailand using private medical insurance?

Couple meeting a therapist

In some cases, individuals may be to pay for drug and alcohol rehab treatment through private medical insurance.

This is when a company pays for the individual’s rehab treatment, either by partially or fully subsidising the overall cost, as well as potentially negotiating on behalf of the client.

Private medical insurance varies depending on the provider of the insurance, as well as the specific plan that the individual is covered under.

For example, some private insurance companies may have specific clauses or conditions in which healthcare may not be compensated through their programmes, whereas others may be completely open.

If an individual is thinking about using their medical insurance to pay for rehabilitation (either in part or in full), then it is vital that they check their plan as soon as possible.

This may be done by contacting the relevant person at their place of work (if the plan is received through work), but it can also be done by contacting the insurance providers directly.

Often, with a name or referral number, an individual will be able to check exactly what their plan covers, including whether or not drug and alcohol rehabilitation costs are included within this, and furthermore if that would cover the cost of rehab treatment in Thailand specifically.

What types of therapies are offered at alcohol rehabs in Thailand?

Diverse people in a support group

The type of care that an individual receives while in alcohol rehab in Thailand will depend on the specific rehab centre they have chosen.

This also includes whether the individual has chosen to live within a residential centre, or if they are residing elsewhere and travelling to rehabilitation sessions, though this does not have as much impact as the former option.

Different rehab centres will offer different forms of care, and this is why it is so important that an individual is confident and educated about their options before they make a choice.

For example, some alcohol rehab treatment plans may be more traditional and include treatments such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), whereas others may be embracing more modern treatments and offering more holistic treatment options.

Typically, drug and alcohol rehab centres around the world will employ a wide range of therapies to help treat addiciton, including:

Alternative therapies offered at many drug and alcohol rehab centres in Thailand are covered specifically in the following paragraph.

Why are alcohol rehabs in Thailand so good for holistic treatments?

Massage

Holistic treatments differ from traditional treatments in the way that they focus on an individual’s self-identity, self-esteem, and self-confidence, [2] rather than simply focusing on the addiction itself.

This goes above and beyond what is explored in ‘purely’ traditional rehabilitation treatments and helps the individual explore other activities through therapy such as art, music, yoga, meditation, dance, equine activities and spirituality.

For example, a common treatment used in addiction recovery nowadays is acupuncture.

Many individuals may argue that Thailand is a country where some of these elements may be explored further, making it a better place in general for holistic activities.

Typically, activities such as yoga and meditation are considered to be more widely studied and practised across countries such as Thailand, and many individuals opt to attend yoga and mindfulness getaways outside of rehab-based activities purely for the experience of these activities within these environs.

This makes Thailand uniquely advanced when it comes to implementing holistic therapies and other alternative treatments for addiction recovery.

What is the admissions process for Thailand alcohol clinics and rehab?

Before an individual chooses to attend alcohol rehabilitation in Thailand, there are several factors that they will need to consider that would not be applicable should the individual choose to attend rehabilitation in their home country.

This comes down to three main factors:

  • Flights – in most cases, individuals who choose to attend alcohol rehab in Thailand as individuals from other countries will need to book flights in order to get there. These can be expensive, so planning to attend rehabilitation in Thailand is not often cheap, as rehabilitation is something that should be attended sooner rather than later to avoid negative and long-term consequences to the individual’s physical and mental health.
  • Getting to the individual’s chosen alcohol rehab location – as well as getting to Thailand in general, an individual must also think about their onward travel plans. This may be something as simple as a taxi or bus ride, but it may also include more technical and planned options – some rehab locations can be remote for privacy and focus.
  • Accommodation – unless the individual is residing within the alcohol rehab itself (through a residential rehab treatment option), then they will need to ensure that they have a safe and secure place to stay while they are undergoing treatment. Though this is a rare occurrence (as most individuals choose residential rehab when attending rehab abroad), it is still something that individuals in specific circumstances must think about and plan for.

How long does alcohol rehab in Thailand last?

Drinking coffee

As with the cost of rehabilitation, every individual will require a different amount of time at a drug and alcohol rehab in Thailand.

This refers to both the individual’s stay in a rehabilitation centre or their attendance at rehabilitation sessions outside of dedicated centres.

The main reason for the difference in time that each individual needs at rehab is due to personal and individual differences.

Addiction is a complex mental health issue, meaning that every individual will require different types of care, as well as different durations of these forms of care.

It is also important to consider the different stages of rehabilitation.

Typically, individuals who seek support through Rehab 4 Addiction are recommended to follow the following three stages:

Depending on the rehabilitation choices that an individual makes, they may receive estimates of the duration of their care, though this will depend on the substance that they are addicted to, any previous attempts to recover, as well as their history of addiction and any long term consequences they may be suffering from as a result of substance abuse.

Ten alcohol rehab centres in Thailand

If an individual is seeking residential alcohol rehabilitation in Thailand, then look no further than Rehab 4 Addiction’s ten recommended rehab centres for the country.

The following subheadings outline the different residential rehab options across Thailand, highlighting some of the key features within these different centres, as well as providing more general information.

This list is not extensive, and there are other options available – these are ten high-quality rehab providers that are available at the time of writing.

Holina Rehab

Licensed by the Thailand Ministry of Health, Holina Rehab is a beachfront rehabilitation resort.

With specialities in trauma and emotional recovery, this rehab paradise location offers some of the most varied and holistic treatments that are available in the modern world.

As a key treatment feature, Holina Rehab combines a non-religious 12-step programme with holistic approaches, meaning that individuals will be able to attend specialised individual and talking therapies that are designed with their recovery in mind.

This centre also attempts to train all staff to be multidisciplinary, meaning that each member of their team will be able to help in a range of different environments, circumstances and – if needed – addiction-related emergencies.

The Hills Chiang Mai

With an on-site hospital and full-trained medical staff, The Hills Rehab in Chiang Mai offers a slightly different approach to rehab than others.

An onsite hospital, for example, makes it the only centre in Thailand to be able to support full on-site medical detoxes and provide ongoing withdrawal support.

The Hills Rehab also offers a unique mountainside location, with weekly excursions available for those who are suited and/or able, as well as the option for private villa accommodation.

As a purpose-built rehab centre, The Hills Rehab offers space for 20 inpatients and offers support for a range of co-occurring mental health issues, with the overall focus of treating both mind and body to ensure overall health and wellbeing.

group-standing

Phuket Island Rehab

Self-declared as a ‘recovery sanctuary’, Phuket Island Rehab accepts only twelve clients at a time but offers a comprehensive recovery process as a result of this.

Blending traditional and evidence-based techniques with modern and holistic approaches, Phuket Island Rehab has one of the most personalised and tailored programmes available in Thailand – something which is very beneficial to addiction recovery in general.

Phuket Island Rehab requires an initial 1-hour meeting before any new clients are considered, and this coincides with an extensive assessment into needs and requirements for the individual’s health.

Common therapies include group therapy and family therapy, but individuals are also recommended to partake in their twice-weekly personal and individual sessions with their allotted therapist.

Horizon Rehab Centre

Horizon Rehab Centre prides itself on ‘integrating Western and Eastern therapies’ to treat addiction and co-occurring disorders with a professional approach to addiction recovery.

As part of the Thonburi Healthcare Group, Horizon Rehab Centre offers support to anyone who needs it through the stages of a medically led detox, residential treatment programmes, and on-site wellness services.

This makes it a great environment for professionals needing addiction support, as well as those who enjoy being part of a group.

This centre offers group therapy sessions 7 days a week, meaning that an individual will always be able to partake in group activities, building on their own experiences and learning from others.

Female therapist with male

Treehouse Thailand

Self-proclaimed as one of Asia’s only centres offering neurofeedback and a distinct non-12-step approach to rehabilitation, Treehouse Thailand provides unique support for those struggling with addiction.

Neurofeedback refers to the complementary brain mapping session that Treehouse offers, highlighting how their brain activity may signal both addiction and mental health issues and supports the diagnosis of these.

In addition, Treehouse Thailand also offers unique excursions and holistic-based treatments such as elephant sanctuary visits and river kayaking, traditional Thai cooking classes, ziplining, night safaris, and ATV Tours, just to name a few.

Kembali Recovery Centre

Founded by a mother and her son, Kembali Recovery Centre is one of the smallest centres on the list, offering space for just 8 clients.

Kembali Recovery Centre is located in Bali, an island far south of Thailand, but it remains as an abroad location and one that may be suitable in some specific cases.

However, this provides the opportunity for unique care, provided in a personalised and holistic manner to help the individual recover with all the support and compassion that they may require.

Kembali Recovery Centre focuses on the client’s self-awareness and understanding of themselves and their condition – a key feature for a long-term effective recovery programme.

Miracles Asia VIP Treatment

As perhaps the most private and discrete of the rehab options on this list, Miracles Asia VIP Treatment offers one-client-at-a-time care.

This is suitable for high-profile clients, or for those who may need complete and utter secrecy while they recover.

As there is only one client on the site at the time, this means that everything is brought to them and they never need to leave the resort once they are there.

This fully assists their immersion and focus, allowing them to commit to their rehabilitation programme fully.

Group therapy - hands in air

The Beekeeper House

Located within a beautiful Thai forest, The Beekeeper House is a bespoke treatment centre that offers Eastern philosophy as the heart of its treatment.

With a team of fully qualified psychologists, mental health specialists, and addiction programme leaders, The Beekeeper House also focuses on clinical psychology, offering the 16 clients that it can house the opportunity to experience a full and clinical recovery programme.

As well as the specific rehab centre, The Beekeeper House also encompasses a variety of wellbeing companies across Thailand and Cambodia, meaning that they offer support in a variety of different methods, not just in a residential centre.

The Cabin

In Thailand’s northern mountains, The Cabin offers a ‘mission-led’ approach to alcohol rehabilitation, as well as to addictions to sex, internet use, food and gambling.

With a key focus on the root cause of the addiction, The Cabin boasts a high success rate and the individual’s commitment and adherence to their own programme will greatly boost the effectiveness of this.

The Cabin boasts a number of other 5-star amenities such as swimming pools, private villa accommodation, lush gardens, and an open-air restaurant on site.

The Dawn Rehab

As the final recommendation on this list, The Dawn Rehab describes itself as one of Asia’s only internationally accredited rehab treatment centres.

It holds accreditation from the American Accreditation Commission International (AACI) within the Psychiatric and Behavioural Health Services category.

For The Dawn Rehab, this means that they blend ‘Western therapeutic techniques’ with ‘Eastern wellness practices’ to make effective recovery programmes within this resort-like facility.

The Dawn Rehab also offers specialist services for trauma and other emotional issues associated with addiction.
