The Cabin sponsors this year’s UK/European Symposium on Addictive Disorders (UKESAD 2016)
This year, The Cabin Addiction Services Group was one of the two main Associate Sponsors of UKESAD 2016 – the UK’s premier addiction and behavioural health conference held from the 2nd - 4th May. The event attracted some 500 addiction recovery professionals from Europe and around the world, who gathered to learn about the latest developments in treatment as well as to network.
Our Programme Director Alastair Mordey presented on ‘Existential Crisis: Treating Addiction as a Nihilistic Disorder as a Pandemic of Modernity’. It was an analysis of addiction on three levels: neurobiological (as a dopamine-related disorder), psychological (as an encounter with the unknown) and transformative (as an opportunity to gain understanding through suffering). His talk was well received and sparked a lively discussion among peers during the Q&A.
Here are some photos of the event.

Alumni Update
Over 1,700 clients have successfully completed treatment with us since we began operations in 2010, and we try to stay in touch with all of them and follow their progress. When a client leaves The Cabin Chiang Mai they are only just embarking on their journey of recovery, certain to be filled with challenges and temptations as they begin their new life back home. Here we’d like to share some updates from our alumni.

Ryan, Singapore, graduated February 2015
Today I'm returning back to full time work, I have healed much of the damage of my past, I regularly attend and contribute to AA meetings and I am of service to others in the recovery community. Life is good, and more importantly, when it isn't good I have tools and skills to cope, and that is what is allowing me to stay sober. read more
