Drug Rehab Indonesians & Drug Addiction Treatment for Indonesians

Why Indonesians find effective and affordable rehab treatment for drug addiction at The Cabin Chiang Mai

The exact statistics for drug users in Indonesia are unknown. Drugs like putauw (street grade heroin), shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine) and other substances are cheap and easily accessible throughout most of Indonesia. Families are being destroyed as drugs ravage their loved ones, as well as entire communities.

Sadly, not only is the drug treatment model in Indonesia outdated and ineffective, but there are also not enough treatment centres to meet demand; the facilities that are available are overcrowded and understaffed. Ex-patients report that they are “more like prisons”, rather than caring, supportive treatment environments designed to help Indonesians who want to stop using drugs.

This is why Indonesians represent a growing client group here at The Cabin. We are able to support individuals who cannot access support locally – in a discreet and cost effective way.

Drug addiction does not have to be a terminal condition – though for many people who don’t seek help, it can be. However, it is a chronic illness that can – and must – be treated.
