Alcohol Detox Thailand

Orchid is a luxury rehab treatment centre nestled in the heart of Chiang Mai. We offer alcohol detox as part of our comprehensive alcohol addiction treatment plan. Our team prioritises both the physical and emotional well-being of our clients.
A Holistic Approach to Alcohol Detox
At Orchid, our detox program is part of a holistic treatment that enables clients to work towards a healthier self. Our prime location in Chiang Mai creates this healing space so that clients can regain control over alcohol dependency. Orchid’s team members strive to make the environment as supportive as possible for those who want to overcome addiction.
During detox, our team will customise the treatment plan according to your needs. We have a full-time psychiatrist and 24/7 nursing staff who can monitor your withdrawal symptoms and vital signs for a comfortable detox process.
Alcohol Detox in Orchid
The Orchid’s alcohol detox program aims to help clients achieve long-term sobriety. Before starting detox, we will assess your medical and substance abuse history to tailor the program accordingly. This thorough assessment also helps the medical team to approach the situation with a holistic perspective. Orchid’s team operates under the direction of Dr. Suttipan Takkapaijit, a psychiatrist with 30 years of experience. His direction guides us to use the most appropriate combination of evidence-based methodologies and holistic approaches for the most effective results. Dr. Takkapaijit’s oversight also enables the team to safely address withdrawal symptoms and deliver medications as needed.
The alcohol detox program at Orchid typically lasts between five to seven days, depending on the client’s progress and addiction severity. If the client has a complex case or other health complications that may need a hospital setting, they arrange to have this done at the National Hospital 30 minutes away from our facility. During detox, clients can expect therapy sessions to provide additional emotional reinforcement and holistic therapies to promote lasting mental clarity and balance. We make it a point to care for the whole person, not just the addiction, during this difficult time.
Why Choose Orchid for Alcohol Detox?
Affordable Luxury Addiction Treatment
The Orchid recognises that costs shouldn’t be a barrier to recovery, and everyone has the right to access affordable treatment. We take pride in offering luxury and comfort in our rehab centre in Thailand. Every client who goes through treatment with our team will experience the full benefits of their program while feeling safe and supported.
Full-Time Psychiatric and Mental Health Support
The presence of a full-time psychiatrist ensures that every client has access to expert guidance throughout their detox journey at Orchid. Mental health is as important as physical well-being during detox, so we approach this concern with empathy. Clients will have access to individual counselling and group therapy during detox for a holistic recovery.
Comprehensive Aftercare
At The Orchid, our residential rehab program comes with two months of complimentary aftercare. This can help clients integrate back into daily life after completing rehab. Even after clients leave our facility, they will have access to check-ins, counselling sessions, and relapse prevention plans to maintain their progress.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many cases of addiction coexist with mental health issues. At The Orchid, our detox and addiction treatment program can be designed to address both disorders through Dual Diagnosis Treatment. We use different types of evidence-based and holistic therapies to address underlying issues that contribute to addiction. This creates a more comprehensive approach to addiction treatment so that clients can achieve long-term recovery.
Privacy and Confidentiality
The Orchid respects each client’s privacy, especially because alcohol detox is a highly personal experience. Our addiction treatment centre will maintain a confidential environment for clients so that everyone going through detox can focus on recovery and not worry about anything else.

Benzodiazepine detox helps reduce the client's dependency on drugs such as Xanax, Valium, and other similar medications.

Orchid makes this process safer and more comfortable through personalised care.

Opiate Detox
Opiate addiction consists of drugs like heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers. Withdrawal from opiates can create intense cravings and physical discomfort, so 24/7 medical support is necessary to support clients who want to stabilise themselves.

While cocaine withdrawal isn't as difficult as other drugs, it's still a challenging process. Detoxing from this drug can be physically and psychologically demanding.

How to Prepare for Alcohol Detox

Learn More About the Detox Process
While the detox process will look different for everyone, the underlying principles remain the same. Learning as much about the detox process as possible can help clients be physically and emotionally ready for this challenging time. It's best to ask the clinical team about what to expect during the detox process beforehand and discuss any concerns you may have about it.

Build a Positive Mindset
A positive mindset can help people going to alcohol rehab, and detox approach the process with more optimism. This outlook can make clients ease into treatment since they will be better focused on the goals of treatment. Going into addiction rehab with a positive mind will also make clients feel more open to receiving support that leads to long-term sobriety.

Be Physically Ready
Being physically ready for alcohol detox is important so that the body can handle the challenges of withdrawal. We know that it can be difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle while struggling with addiction. However, small steps like staying hydrated and focusing on eating whole foods can make clients feel strong and prepared for detox.
