Drug Treatment in Thailand:

Which Drugs Are Treated at The Cabin’s Rehab Centre?

Our comprehensive and effective drug rehabilitation programme is equipped to deal with any drug addiction. The most common drug addictions that we treat here in Thailand are the following:

Amphetamine addiction can lead to severe physical and psychological consequences, impacting every aspect of an individual's life. At The Cabin Chiang Mai, we offer comprehensive treatment that addresses both the physical dependence and underlying psychological factors contributing to amphetamine abuse.

Cocaine addiction is a powerful and destructive force, often leading to serious health and social consequences. The Cabin Chiang Mai offers specialised treatment for cocaine addiction, combining medical support for withdrawal symptoms with intensive therapy. Our holistic approach addresses the physical, psychological, and social aspects of addiction, helping clients build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.

Ecstasy addiction can result in severe neurological and psychological damage. At The Cabin Chiang Mai, we provide a tailored treatment program that addresses the unique challenges of MDMA dependence. We combine medical care with therapeutic interventions to develop healthy coping mechanisms for long-term recovery.

GHB addiction presents unique risks, including dangerous withdrawal symptoms and a high potential for overdose. The Cabin Chiang Mai's expert team offers round-the-clock medical supervision during detox, ensuring client safety. Our rehabilitation program incorporates personalised counselling and group therapy, empowering individuals to overcome GHB dependence and rebuild their lives.

Heroin and opiate addiction often create a gruelling cycle of dependence. Our holistic healing blends evidence-based treatments with compassionate care. Our integrated approach combines medically supervised detoxification, innovative therapies, and wellness practices to guide clients towards freedom from opiate addiction.

Ketamine abuse can lead to severe cognitive impairment and bladder dysfunction. We combine evidence-based treatments with holistic healing practices to address ketamine addiction. Our integrative program encompasses medical care, psychological support, and wellness activities, assisting our clients with transitioning towards sustainable abstinence and improved overall health.

Despite its reputation as a "soft" drug, marijuana addiction can alter mental clarity and daily routines. The Cabin's tailored treatment program addresses the psychological aspects of cannabis dependence through evidence-based therapies and mindfulness practices. Our holistic drug addiction treatment helps clients rediscover clarity, motivation, and purpose beyond marijuana use.

Methamphetamine ravages both body and mind, often leaving users feeling trapped in a downward spiral. The Cabin offers a lifeline with our comprehensive methamphetamine addiction rehab program. We tackle the intense cravings and unique psychological hurdles of meth addiction head-on, blending cutting-edge medical treatments with holistic healing methods. Our goal is to help our clients regain renewed health and freedom from methamphetamine dependence.

Prescription drug addiction, particularly to medications like OxyContin, Vicodin, Valium, Xanax, Lyrica or Pregabalin, often begins innocently but can quickly spiral out of control. We recognise the complexities of these dependencies with a nuanced treatment approach. Our treatment combines medically supervised tapering with holistic therapies so our clients can break free from prescription drug reliance and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Understanding Our Drug Treatment Process in Thailand


We begin by getting to know you and your situation. This helps us create a recovery plan that works specifically for you. Your recovery journey is guided through three key phases: the Medical Detox Programme to manage withdrawal safely, the Residential Drug Treatment Programme offering comprehensive therapy and holistic care, and the Aftercare Programme to support your long-term success and well-being.

Before you begin your recovery journey, we perform a thorough medical assessment to determine if you have a physical dependence that requires detox. If needed, our licensed medical team will create a personalised detox plan tailored to your individual situation.

In our Medical Detox Programme, you'll receive 24/7 supervision to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the process. Our team will monitor your progress closely, making any necessary adjustments to support your well-being providing you with a strong foundation for the next steps in your recovery.

The Cabin's Residential Drug Treatment Programme offers a transformative experience in Thailand's serene setting. Our acclaimed ‘Changing Pathways' treatment approach combines modern, evidence-based therapies with holistic approaches. We offer programs ranging from 4 to 12 weeks.

During your stay, you'll work closely with our expert team to uncover and address the root causes of your addiction. We'll equip you with practical tools to manage cravings, build healthier habits, and rediscover joy in sober living.

Recovery doesn't end when you leave our centre. We'll work with you to create a solid plan for your return home and connect you with local support groups and counsellors.

But what sets us apart is our unique Online Video Continuing Care Programme. It lets you join face-to-face group sessions or one-on-one counselling from anywhere in the world. It's our commitment to your long-term success.

What Can I Expect During Rehab?

As a leading rehabilitation centre, our comprehensive treatment programme aims to heal body and mind simultaneously. Upon arriving at our facility you will undergo an initial assessment with one of our counsellors and a member of our medical team.

Those who are physically dependent on drugs will be required to undergo a medically supervised alcohol detox programme for the first few days and under the care of the team.

A World-Class, Effective Treatment Programme

At The Cabin’s cutting-edge centre in the picturesque city of Chiang Mai, Thailand, we have garnered global recognition for our residential addiction treatment methodology. Our programme is celebrated not only for its holistic approach but also for the inclusion of vital drug addiction counselling services.

At the heart of our distinctive treatment protocol is the concept of ‘changing pathways’, a pioneering approach that seamlessly integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the renowned 12-step programme, and the practice of Mindfulness Meditation. This unique blend of therapeutic techniques and counselling addresses the complexities of drug addiction, helping individuals reclaim their lives from the clutches of substance abuse.

Our commitment to drug addiction counselling is unwavering. Within our programme, we place a profound emphasis on the importance of regular counselling sessions, which are tailored to each individual's unique needs and experiences.

These sessions provide a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore the root causes of their addiction, gain insight into their behavioural patterns, and develop coping strategies that foster lasting recovery.

The first step to recovery from drug addiction is expert counselling

The Cabin’s approach to drug addiction counselling is a defining feature of our comprehensive addiction treatment programme in Thailand. We firmly believe that addressing the psychological and emotional aspects of addiction is as crucial as managing its physical manifestations. This approach sets us apart from other drug rehabilitation centres in Thailand and underscores our commitment to providing holistic, evidence-based care that supports individuals on their journey to sobriety.

The Cabin Group’s international network of facilities offers a steadfast commitment to drug addiction counselling as a core component of our comprehensive addiction treatment programmes. Whether seeking inpatient or outpatient care, individuals can trust in our utmost dedication to helping them overcome addiction and achieve lasting recovery through the power of counselling and holistic treatment.

Benefits of Inpatient Drug Care in Thailand

Inpatient or residential drug treatment in Thailand offers clients a chance to get away from their daily lives, which can be full of triggers. Our luxury drug rehab in Thailand provides a resort-like facility where the ability to find drugs is near impossible, giving them the chance to focus solely on their own recovery.

As well, The Cabin Chiang Mai has staff working round the clock, meaning that at any time of day or night, there is someone available should you need assistance in any way. For many, especially those with a severe addiction, inpatient rehab is the only feasible recovery method.

What About Detoxification?

Detoxification is not required by everyone. Upon arrival at our facility, we will determine whether or not a medically supervised drug detox programme is required.

Highly Trained Staff

At The Cabin Chiang Mai, our team of Western-trained and licensed drug counselling specialists has decades of combined experience dealing with all forms of drug addiction. In fact, many of our addiction counsellors are in recovery themselves, allowing them to draw on personal experience when providing treatment.

Beyond the counselling team, we have full-time medical staff who specialise in addiction treatment. Our staff includes the head psychiatrist and several psychologists, combined with our professional nursing team, who are onsite and available 7 days a week, day or night.

The Cabin Chiang Mai: A Serene and Healing Environment for Drug Addiction Treatment

Our drug addiction treatment programme is world-class and is well complemented by the unique healing environment in which it all takes place.

The Cabin Rice Villa in Rainy Season

In the scenic mountainous outskirts of Chiang Mai, comfortable private villas sit amidst lush tropical gardens. A swimming pool glistens invitingly in the hot summer sun, and people are busy across the expansive grounds with yoga, meditation, physical fitness, and, of course, scheduled therapy and treatment sessions.

The Cabin Chiang Mai offers private rooms, 24/7 care, and a treatment programme that is of the highest quality – all at approximately one-third the price of a similar or even lesser-quality addiction treatment centre in the West. The Cabin’s Dependency Centre in Thailand is the perfect place for you or your loved one to begin the healing journey towards full recovery.
