“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.”

Discover Our Drug Detox Program


We know just how challenging and potentially dangerous drug withdrawal can be. During your drug detoxification process at The Cabin, you’ll be under the close supervision of a dedicated clinic team and the best addiction professionals who will ensure your withdrawal is safe and effective. Here’s how our drug detox in Thailand usually works:

Upon your arrival, you’ll undergo a thorough medical assessment and examination by our clinical team and counsellors. Our specialists will look at your substance abuse history, existing medical issues, age, and potential co-occurring conditions. We’ll also run some tests to determine the level of substance in your system. This way, we can determine if you require withdrawal and, if yes, that your drug detox is safe and comfortable.

A controlled withdrawal is the process of allowing the body to rid itself of a drug while managing the symptoms of withdrawal. Everyone experiences different symptoms based on how severe their drug use is, how long they’ve been using, and the type of drug. However, some parts of rehab are the same for everyone. At The Cabin, our medical team provides 24/7 care and takes steps to ease withdrawal symptoms as much as possible.

Reducing drug cravings is an important first step, but it doesn’t address the deeper issues of addiction, like how to handle future cravings and triggers. That’s why, after your detox, you’ll continue with complete addiction treatment at The Cabin. Our experienced counselors will teach you new coping skills using methods like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), the 12 Steps, and mindfulness therapy to help support long-term recovery.

What Can I Expect During My Drug Detox & Rehab?

Upon arrival, you’ll undergo an initial assessment with our medical team and counsellors to determine the best course of treatment. For those physically dependent on drugs, a medically supervised detox will be the first step, ensuring safety and comfort during the withdrawal process.

Is Drug Detoxification Always Necessary?

Not all addicted people require detoxification before treatment. Detox necessity will depend upon a person’s medical condition, history of substance abuse, and age. What’s more, not all drug use will require a person to go through a medically supervised detox.

Upon arrival at our facility, you will undergo a thorough examination by our clinical staff and counsellors, who will then determine if you require a medically supervised withdrawal program before starting rehab.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Drug Detox in Thailand

Different drugs have different withdrawal symptoms, but in most cases, you can expect extreme mood swings, physical discomfort, feelings of anxiety, and severe drug cravings.

Some withdrawals are more dangerous than others. Detoxing from heroin or other opiates, for example, is not as risky as detoxing from benzodiazepines. While the withdrawal symptoms of opiates will be very uncomfortable, they pose little risk of serious physical health risk, especially when monitored by a professional. Detoxing from benzodiazepines, however, can result in serious seizures that can be life-threatening. The possibility of medical complications and the need for medication in some cases are the reasons that detox is best done at an inpatient centre such as The Cabin Chiang Mai.

Unfortunately, there is no one answer here. The length of any given treatment again depends on the severity of use and whether or not medication is necessary. In most cases, our experienced staff will be able to give each client an idea of how long the detox will take after their arrival at our facility.

At our drug detox center, we provide a luxurious and safe environment for detoxification, all while keeping costs significantly lower – often one-third of what you’d pay in Western countries. The cost will vary based on the length of your stay, so we recommend reaching out to our team for personalised information regarding your treatment needs.

A key component of any detoxification treatment is stabilization. This term covers all the medical and psychological interventions that occur in an effort to help the client achieve physical and psychological balance. Medication with a similar effect to the drug may be prescribed to regulate the symptoms of withdrawal. This medication would be tapered off gradually during the detox program.
