The Cabin Chiangmai

Our inpatient addiction treatment method is comprised of a modern, intelligent, physical and holistic program for which we are highly commended amongst the medical community globally. The principal treatment used is 3 Circles – it combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a highly personalised approach tailored to the individual’s specific addiction treatment needs, with the renowned 12 Steps method, which has been ’secularised’ and ’rationalised’ by our clinical team to better suit modern addiction terminology and treatment. The core substance abuse treatment program is augmented by Mindfulness (therapeutic meditation techniques) and tailored Exercise Therapy. The overall aim is to create both a sound mind and body.

With clients from a diverse range of countries and regions including Australia, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Middle East, SE Asia and India, our holistic approach consists principally of 3 main elements:

1. Counselling Therapy

The 3 Circles is ‘an all addictions' counselling model used by The Cabin Chiang Mai which allows for a less religious ‘take' on treatment than traditional methods like AA's 12 Steps whilst still maintaining their principles. 3 Circles also lends itself much better to the use of modern therapies like CBT than a traditional 12 step approach.  Read more

2. Alcohol Detox and/or Drug Detox

Alcohol
Long-term alcohol abuse can lead to both a physiological and physical dependence and where physical dependence is present, a detox will be required. A medical detox's necessity will depend upon an individual's age, medical condition and their history of alcohol consumption.  Read more

Drug
Long-term abuse of certain substances, usually sedatives like opiates (heroin and opiate prescription drugs such oxycontin and tramadol) and benzodiazepine (diazepam and alprazolam etc), lead to a physical dependence where the body's central nervous system develops a tolerance to the drug. Where a physical dependence to a drug is evident, a drug detox will be required. Read more

3. Physical Fitness Therapy

Fitness therapy is an important and beneficial part of the addiction recovery process. Exercise enhances an individual's physical well-being and helps them to build strength while in rehab. Regular exercise increases endorphines and has been proven to reduce cravings in users. Read more
