The Middle East finds effective and affordable rehab treatment for alcohol abuse and addiction at The Cabin Chiang Mai
According to The Economist magazine, the Islamic world has seen a 72% increase in alcohol consumption from the years 2001 to 2011. This, while the rest of the world has witnessed a 30% increase in alcohol consumption over the same timeframe. Even in much of the Middle East where alcohol is strictly forbidden, drinking is becoming commonplace. And considering the influx of expatriates to many blossoming Middle Eastern nations today, these individuals are bringing their perspective on alcohol are drug use to the Muslim world.
It is well known that many of the Gulf States and much of the Middle East has incredibly strict laws around drug and alcohol use. Severe penalties can be imposed on those who use alcohol in public or are publically intoxicated. Get behind the wheel of a vehicle while impaired and you can face jail time. Since drinking is so taboo in the Middle East, most individuals end up drinking at home – either legally or illegally. The problem with this is that there is no real way to track just how much people are drinking, but the statistics show that the number of alcohol and drug-related deaths in the Middle East is rising each year.

Most Middle Eastern countries lack appropriate medical facilities to help addicts who want to be cured of their addiction to alcohol or drugs, while the social stigma alone prevents most individuals from even taking the first step on the road to recovery. This is why the Middle East represents a growing client group at The Cabin, as we are able to offer a discrete alternative to the Middle Eastern-based rehab facilities that are available today. These sites can’t compare to our success rates, and they often rely solely on religious counselling to help the patient. The Cabin Chiang Mai is the ideal option for residents of the Middle East who need access to the finest in rehab programs, drug and alcohol addiction treatments, and overall health and wellness.
Why The Cabin is the right choice for Middle Eastern Patients
Middle Eastern patients who choose The Cabin Chiang Mai to combat their alcohol addiction will find a world-class treatment and rehabilitation centre that is located in a tranquil corner of Thailand in the city of Chiang Mai. The Cabin is situated right along the famous Ping River, where patients will find a comfortable and soothing environment, Thai-style bungalow accommodations, and a peaceful and relaxing energy that helps their journey toward an addiction-free lifestyle.
To enhance the effectiveness of the program, patients can choose from either an English or Arabic-speaking rehab program. These alcohol rehab programs are facilitated by either English or Arabic-speaking professionals, and Western-style treatment practices are intelligently paired with holistic elements to create a treatment process that results in a 96% success rate. The English-language program combines standard treatment steps, physical therapy, holistic treatments, and more, and draws upon the expertise of therapists, drug addiction counsellors, medical doctors, and Thai concierge staff.
The Arabic-language rehab program employs the use of native Arabic-speakers who fully understand the cultural needs and sensitivities of our Middle Eastern patients. The rehab program will maintain family inclusion practices and offer halal foods, and the Arabic-language treatment program offers the same high standards of treatment as our English-language program and remains culturally sensitive at all times.
Patients at The Cabin Chiang Mai will be quite busy during their alcohol addiction rehab treatment, but they can also take time to explore the local area and participate in several planned outings.
