In Chiang Mai lies the Orchid, a world-class treatment centre registered with Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health. With our holistic, client-focused approach to drug and alcohol rehab, we provide comprehensive, personalised care to help you or your loved one on your recovery journey.
What Are Synthetic Drugs?
Some drugs can be cultivated from plants. For example, both cocaine and marijuana are derived from the coca and cannabis plants. However, this is not the case with all drugs.
Some drugs are not derived from plants or natural substances. Instead, they are synthesised in labs. These drugs can produce various effects, and there are cases where existing laws do not cover them because of their formulation. An example of this is opioids, which have proven to be quite a public health concern in recent years.
Synthetic Drug Addiction Treatment in Thailand
Treating synthetic drugs can be done with a combination of medication and therapy. However, the recovery process may not be easy. Treating illicit drug use can take time, and even with professional drug rehab, a person may find themselves relapsing and using substances again. This is why thorough aftercare is so important for long-term recovery. It’s also important to treat co-occurring mental health troubles, as they can often be underlying issues for substance abuse.
Behavioural therapies are essential treatment methods for long-term recovery. They can help a person understand the thoughts that contribute to their alcohol and drug use as well as learn how to manage without substance misuse. Some therapies can help a person resolve their trauma, as trauma can often drive a person to substance use. An important part of the rehabilitation process is staying motivated; some therapies can help a person find the intrinsic motivation to change.
Why Choose Rehab in Thailand?
There are several benefits to coming to Chiang Mai to recover from addiction. Some of these benefits include:
Cost-Efficiency
An Australian rehab centre can be quite expensive. However, we can offer the same level of care for drug and alcohol addiction that any private rehab in any country in the world can. But we can do it more cost-effectively, making world-class treatment more accessible.
Privacy
There are many people for whom addiction can be a sensitive subject. Many people may value their privacy in treatment. Coming to Thailand can help protect a person’s privacy through sheer distance alone, as being far from Australia can put a person far from prying eyes.
Distance from Triggers
Additionally, coming to Thailand can distance a person from their normal circumstances and the people who may have enabled their addiction. This can give a person the space to focus on their recovery with minimal risk of being triggered.
Accepting
Thailand is one of the most tolerant countries in Southeast Asia and was one of the first countries in the region to recognise same-sex marriages. In keeping with this high level of tolerance, our treatment facility in northern Thailand accepts men, women, and members of the LGBT+ community.
Thorough Aftercare
The recovery process doesn’t end with residential care. Often, people in recovery require extensive aftercare to help them maintain the progress they’ve made in residential treatment. At Orchid, we conduct regular aftercare sessions to ensure continued support is given to our clients.
Various Activities
At Orchid, we offer a variety of activities to make the treatment process more enjoyable and foster holistic recovery. Some of the activities we offer include Thai boxing, golf, hiking, and cooking classes.
What's Treated in Thailand?
In Chiang Mai, we help people address a variety of concerns. Some of the conditions that we treat at the Orchid include:
Substance Use Disorder
We offer treatment for addictions to substances such as marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, alcohol, and other substances. These substances can majorly impact a person's mental and physical well-being.
Process Addiction
Additionally, we also treat process addictions such as gambling, shopping, gaming, and social media. Like chemical dependence, these addictions can profoundly affect a person's health.
Mental Health Disorders
Furthermore, we also offer treatment for mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and clinically stable mood disorders. However, we do not treat psychiatric cases with suicidal ideation.
Levels of Care for Substance Use
At Orchid, we offer various levels of care in our treatment process. Our treatment process includes:
Detox
In our facility in northern Thailand, we offer detox services to help people purge their bodies of any illicit substances they’ve taken. Our team is prepared to help with withdrawal symptoms. For complex cases of withdrawal, we refer patients to a nearby hospital.
Residential Treatment
An important part of helping those who are struggling with addiction is our residential treatment. We offer programmes that last 4, 8, or 12 weeks, depending on the patient’s needs. Some members of our staff are also in recovery themselves.
Therapies in Our Treatment Centre
At the Orchid, we will use a variety of therapies in our treatment. These therapies include:
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy can be vital for drug or alcohol recovery. In these sessions, a person can find a safe space wherein they can delve into the root causes of their substance use and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Family Therapy
In our rehab in Chiang Mai, we offer family therapy. After a person’s treatment, loved ones can participate in family therapy at our luxury rehab. Online video conferencing tools are also available as an alternative.
Group Therapy
We also offer group therapy in our addiction recovery programme. These sessions can be vital for the recovery process as they can offer a supportive environment where people in recovery can connect with others who have been through their struggles.
Recover in Thailand
Recovery can happen anywhere. But we can offer a path to recovery that other places can’t. In Thailand, you’ll find a place to relax and recover. Our recovery process is designed to help you achieve comprehensive recovery from addiction. In Thailand, you’ll find a peaceful place to rediscover sobriety.
