“I am incredibly grateful to be part of the team at the Cabin. The work environment is supportive, compassionate, and dedicated to helping individuals on their journey to recovery. The management truly values employee well-being and provides ample opportunities for professional growth and development.”

“I had the privilege of working in the inpatient treatment centre last year and it was a wonderful learning experience. The energy of the place and people was so nurturing and it challenged me to grow gently as well. Stepping into this space with an open heart and a curious mental posture can welcome a part of oneself they didn’t know existed- a part that is willing to learn, to grow and to be authentic…”

“Being a clinician in addiction services, I throughly enjoy working with The Cabin Chiang Mai. They have flawless processes in place starting from admission to treatment and then aftercare services. Their treatment program is trauma Informed Practice and has been prepared with a lot of care and consideration keeping in mind the complexity of addiction. They understand that recovery at an inpatient is only the beginning and link clients to professionals best suited to their needs in their hometown…”

“The Cabin took very good care of a family member recently. He has just returned home after 6 weeks in their care and is re-adjusted, full of positivity and looks the healthiest I have seen him look in years. I’m very happy to recommend The Cabin and their life changing (and saving) treatment programme.”

Benefits of Inpatient Internet Rehab

First and foremost, because internet addiction is so ingrained in daily life, many internet addicts find it incredibly beneficial to be removed from ‘regular’ life. Living at the treatment centre for a period of time allows them to unplug from the internet completely.

Other benefits of residential rehab include:

➤ Comprehensive Support: Engage in both personal and group counselling sessions, with 24/7 access to professional support.
➤ Focus on Recovery: Leave daily stresses behind. With meals, laundry, and schedules taken care of, your only responsibility is healing.
➤ Privacy Assured: Your time in recovery remains completely confidential, providing a safe space for open and honest growth.
