“I spent 2 months at the Cabin and it was life changing on how I deal with life. The staff are amazing from start to finish. I met some wonderful people during my stay and got to see some highlights of the area with the wonderful support staff who a great knowledge of the area.”

“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.”

Prescription Drug Addiction

Since prescription medications include a number of different drugs, which is why the symptoms an addict will be presenting depend heavily on what exactly they are addicted to. A professional rehab in Thailand like The Cabin will know exactly how to treat a specific prescription drug addiction and guarantee long-lasting recovery.

While there are no symptoms that are present in all prescription drugs you can get addicted to, there are some symptoms that are more noticeable than others. Those include nausea and vomiting, confusion, poor coordination, unsteady walking, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, memory problems or high body temperature.

Once again, behavioral symptoms can vary. However, one that is almost always present is that you suddenly need much higher doses to achieve the same results you used to with lower doses.
The need to take the drug can also result in making poor decisions, as satisfying the craving becomes a priority. Those addicted might request early refills or tend to “lose” their medications so that the doctor prescribes more of them.

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.

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.
