The Dangers of Addiction for Young Men
Young people are at an especially high risk of developing an addiction. Addiction often manifests in young men as feelings of purposelessness, restlessness, irritability, unhappiness and extreme boredom.
Addiction is progressive—it gets worse over time. The good news is that young men are at a prime point in their life to make a change. Young people who catch their addictive behaviour in the early stages are able to reverse the effects before reaching a critical stage. Early intervention is the key to living a healthy life which allows young men to attain their full potential.
Our programme especially benefits young men with:
Drug or alcohol abuse issues
Lack of direction or failure to launch
Poor academic performance
ADD/ ADHD
Depression
Trouble with law enforcement
Unsuccessful attempts at other rehabs
What Makes The Edge Effective?
The Cabin’s world-renowned Recovery Zones treatment method is an integrative approach that draws on the key elements of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), the 12 Steps and mindfulness. Through counselling sessions with our team of experts, young men are able to discover new pespectives and create new patterns in order to break the cycle of addiction and self-destructive behaviour.
Our stunning location in the mountainous outskirts of Chiang Mai provides the optimal space for participants to be immersed in nature and Thai culture while distancing themselves from triggers and negative influences. While in treatment, participants can choose between Muay Thai boxing or triathlon training, and take part in memorable wilderness excursions. This treatment element teaches young men about discipline and provides all the psychological benefits of meeting and overcoming challenges by working as a part of a team. They are able to bond with others who have similar struggles and create lasting friendships in recovery.

This place has lifted me up from a rock bottom (suicide) state. With the support and advice given to me from the staff at the facility, I am well on the way to a great future. One I was never going to have if I hadn’t come to The Cabin.
