Why Middle East Residents find Effective and Affordable Treatment for Heroin Addiction at The Cabin Chiang Mai

Why Middle East Residents find Effective and Affordable Treatment for Heroin Addiction at The Cabin Chiang Mai

Heroin is a highly addictive and dangerous opioid analgesic. It is considered to be one of the most destructive of all illicit drugs. Heroin is made from a natural substance extracted from poppy plants. Pure heroin is a white, bitter powder. Most heroin sold on the street is diluted with additives such as starch or sugar and sometimes mixed with poisons like strychnine or other drugs. It is sold as a brownish powder or a brown or black, sticky, tar-like substance that is injected, snorted or smoked. It affects the opioid receptors in the brain creating an intense “rush” or euphoric feeling.

Many users who try it are addicted immediately. Addicts rapidly lose control of their lives and getting the “next fix” becomes their only priority.

Heroin addiction treatment at The Cabin Arabic Treatment Centre consists of 2 main elements:

Medical detoxification

Heroin is one of the most physically addictive drugs. Withdrawal can be extremely painful and uncomfortable. Symptoms can include cold sweats, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, insomnia, muscle and bone aches, depression, anxiety and severe cravings.

At The Cabin Arabic Treatment Centre, a client will be put on our detox treatment plan designed to ease withdrawal symptoms. During this period he will be watched closely at all times by our highly-qualified medical team, which is led by Thailand’s foremost detox doctor. They will perform regular physical exams and prescribe supplemental medication as needed to assuage any uneasiness.

Psychological treatment

During heroin withdrawal, many clients suffer from severe depression or anxiety and can even become suicidal. These powerful emotional reactions can resurface even months after the physical withdrawal has subsided if the psychological addiction is not addressed properly.

At The Cabin Arabic Treatment Centre our approach to healing heroin addiction comes from a place of compassion, understanding and strength. Recovery is led by a team of certified drug counselling specialists, many of whom have first-hand experience with heroin addiction.

Clients will be treated in individual and group sessions using a combination of counselling and psychotherapy techniques.

Our specialists have created an effective treatment model called Recovery Zones to address the cycle of heroin addiction at its root. This personalised treatment programme will include a secular version of the 12 Step techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness. We give clients the tools to avoid relapse by training them to identify their particular triggers and build a feasible and practical relapse prevention plan to confront and overcome the challenges they may face outside of rehab.

We also create a comprehensive health and wellness plan that uses massage and fitness therapy to restore physical and mental well-being. We give our clients a foundation of knowledge through specific training on heroin addiction and heroin relapse prevention in order to prepare them for long-term sobriety.
