“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.”

Understanding Our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Program


Mental health disorders rarely resolve on their own, and many people turn to alcohol or drugs as self-medication. At The Cabin, 37% of those abusing alcohol and nearly half of drug users also face a mental disorder. Effective dual-diagnosis treatment requires addressing both conditions simultaneously, and our Western-trained clinical team has seen great success in this approach. Here’s how our treatment program works:

The treatment starts with our dedicated medical and clinical team conducting a comprehensive one-on-one assessment upon your arrival. This evaluation identifies whether dual diagnosis treatment is necessary and if an alcohol or drug withdrawal period is required before starting. It also allows us to create a personalized treatment plan, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for your recovery, tailored to both your addiction and mental health needs.

At our dual diagnosis treatment center, our Western-qualified mental health and addiction specialists provide the support you need to fully understand your co-occurring condition. You’ll receive a customized treatment plan designed to guide you through the inpatient dual diagnosis program. Our holistic “Changing Pathways” treatment method usually combines various types of counseling, mindfulness, and fitness therapies that tackle both your addiction and co-existing issues.

The Cabin understands that aftercare and relapse prevention are crucial for maintaining long-term recovery, especially for those with dual diagnosis. Our alumni community, comprised of peers, staff, and aftercare providers worldwide, offers ongoing support and access to recovery resources. Through events like reunions, training, and seminars, we ensure former patients stay connected and equipped to manage both mental health and substance use challenges for lasting sobriety.

What to Expect at The Cabin Dual Diagnosis Rehab Center in Thailand

Upon arrival at our Chiang Mai center, you’ll receive a thorough assessment to tailor your dual diagnosis treatment plan. If substance dependence is present, a medically supervised detox will be the first step to ensure a safe and comfortable withdrawal process.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Dual Diagnosis Rehab in Thailand

A co-occurring disorder is where an individual has a substance abuse problem and a mental health disorder. For example, an inpatient dual diagnosis may see a patient suffering from a mental illness like post-traumatic stress disorder and an alcohol or drug addiction. Statistics show that roughly half of all people who suffer from a mental health condition will also suffer from substance abuse disorders.

Suffering from severe mental health conditions, such as bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder, or depression, comes with unique challenges. It’s critical that co-occurring disorders treatment centers correctly diagnose each issue as each condition can exacerbate the other if left undiagnosed, and an appropriate integrated dual diagnosis treatment plan is put in place.

Choosing Thailand for residential dual diagnosis treatment provides several advantages. The programs offer integrated care for both mental health and addiction, leading to more effective recovery. You also benefit from access to highly trained specialists, including Western-qualified professionals, all within the tranquil, healing environment of Thailand’s serene landscapes. Additionally, Thai centers like The Cabin offer comprehensive treatment at a much lower cost, often just a third of what Western facilities charge.

While our dual diagnosis treatment center offers luxurious accommodations, we can keep costs significantly lower – often just a third of the price of similar programs in Western countries. The total cost will depend on the length of your stay and the specific treatment required, so we recommend speaking with our staff for a personalized assessment and pricing details.
