The Middle East finds effective, compassionate and affordable rehab treatment for drug addiction at The Cabin Chiang Mai
It is common knowledge that countries in the Middle East are generally quite strict in their tolerance for drugs and alcohol. Drugs in particular are absolutely taboo across the Middle East and the punishment for drug addiction can be anywhere from 4-10 years in jail in most countries, to significantly longer in other regimes. If one is caught with enough drugs to be considered a trafficker in the Middle East, the punishment can be life in prison or even a death sentence. Due to religious and cultural concerns, addicts must be careful about where they seek support and who they rely on to help them through a drug rehabilitation process.
Many Middle Eastern residents are afraid to talk to their families or close friends about their drug addiction as it could lead to possible jail time or other punishments if word ever got out about the addiction. Culturally, families may feel shamed or culpable if one of their own is found to have a drug problem or gets in legal trouble due to the addictive behaviour. This has caused an even greater rift among patients and their families – further reducing the number of individuals who actively decide to get help through rehab. Add to that the complete lack of high quality treatment centres across the Middle East and you have a recipe for disaster.

There are thousands of individuals who need help across the Middle East, but the environment in many Gulf states is not one that is conducive to curing these addicted patients. Instead, more and more addicts today are seeking the help of an international treatment centre located in Northern Thailand. At The Cabin Chiang Mai, patients will find compassionate, discrete, and effective treatment options for drug dependency, where positive habits and supportive activities will help to get lives back on track and drug addictions eliminated forever. Our 96% success rate proves that our program is incredibly effective at helping addicts from all over the world.
Why The Cabin is the right choice for Middle Eastern patients
After just a quick flight from the Middle East, patients will arrive at The Cabin Chiang Mai. This incredible treatment centre is located in Northern Thailand and is a world-renowned facility that is dedicated to helping patients who desire an effective and affordable solution to their drug addiction. Patients who choose The Cabin Chiang Mai to combat their drug addiction will engage with a world-class treatment and rehabilitation centre that is located in a serene corner of Thailand right along the famous Ping River, where patients will find a soothing environment, Thai-style bungalow accommodations, and a peaceful and relaxing energy that helps their journey toward an addiction-free lifestyle. Patients are quickly amazed at the resort-style treatment centre, and note that it feels more like a high-end getaway than a rehabilitation facility. The idea is simple – to deliver an incomparable treatment program in a comfortable and calming environment that is ideal for helping patients recover from their addiction.
At The Cabin, patients can choose between either an English or Arabic-speaking rehabilitation program. Therapy sessions are led by either English or Arabic-speaking professionals, and Western-style treatment options are skilfully combined with holistic elements to create a treatment process that results in our 96% success rate. The English-language program combines a standard 12-step treatment program with physical therapy, holistic treatments, and more, and draws upon the expertise of professional therapists, drug addiction counsellors, medical doctors, and concierge staff. For those who prefer the Arabic-language rehab, the treatment program employs the use of native Arabic-speakers who fully understand the cultural needs and sensitivities of our Middle Eastern patients. The Arabic-language treatment program offers the same high standards of treatment as our English-language program and remains culturally sensitive at all times, including family inclusion practices and offering halal foods for Arabic guests.
There is so much to do in the local area, too! Patients at The Cabin Chiang Mai will be busy working through the various components of treatment during their drug addiction rehab treatment, but they’ll also be right in the middle of the bustling city of Chiang Mai and can participate in many planned outings. Chiang Mai is rich with history – ancient temples and ruins and countless cultural opportunities. And there is also a wide range of other things to do – from elephant rides to zip lining through the jungle canopy at Gibbons. Patients will rest comfortably within their private, Thai-style bungalows during their stay at The Cabin, and the quiet setting and lush tropical foliage provides the perfect environment for a comfortable and effective rehabilitation program. It feels more like a resort than a rehab facility!
