Drug Detox Thailand

Orchid, located in Chiang Mai, Thailand, offers drug detox as part of our addiction treatment programme. Our approach to treatment makes the detox process safe and comfortable so clients can be stable enough for succeeding treatment.
The Importance of Detox During Drug Addiction Treatment
Comprehensive drug detox provides clients with a stable foundation for recovery. When people are addicted to drugs, their body gets used to the presence of these substances. Quitting these substances can result in withdrawal symptoms as the body readjusts to their absence.
During detox, professionals will monitor a person’s withdrawal symptoms and vital signs. They can make the process more comfortable, especially because these withdrawal symptoms can be difficult to manage. Detox is the first step to addiction recovery and builds the path to long-term sobriety.
Drug Detox at Orchid Chiang Mai
At The Orchid, we take a client-focused approach to our drug, alcohol, and mental health treatments. This is reflected in the way we emphasise safety and comfort at the treatment centre. The process of detoxing at our centre starts with an assessment by our full-time psychiatric staff. While we provide detox services at our rehab centre, clients with complex detox cases or other health complications may need a hospital setting. If this is the case, clients can arrange to have the detox process done at the National Hospital, 30 minutes away from our facility.
Orchid’s detox program is part of a drug addiction treatment program in Thailand. We customise each treatment to each client’s situation so that they can be ready for the next steps of drug rehab. Our detox program usually lasts around 5 to 7 days, and our team may use medications if needed. We strive to create a comprehensive treatment experience so clients can expect a blend of evidence-based and holistic approaches at our addiction treatment centre.

Drug Detox Approaches

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a staple in drug addiction treatment, as it helps clients reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to substance abuse. During CBT, clients work with therapists to uncover these negative thoughts and behaviours so they can learn healthy coping mechanisms that help build resilience.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is another type of talk therapy that encourages clients to embrace change. It helps guide clients to regulate their emotions and manage their stress. During DBT, clients learn different techniques to manage stressful situations without relying on drugs and alcohol.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
MI consists of therapists helping clients find the motivation to change their behaviour. When a client goes through detox, therapists can use MI to explore the personal reasons for quitting substance abuse. It utilises a non-judgmental and supportive dialogue to help build internal motivation for recovery.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
In EMDR, therapists utilise specific eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help clients heal from traumatic memories. EMDR can be included during drug detox because clients who also suffer from unresolved trauma or PTSD can use this therapy to address deep-rooted issues.

Support Groups
In a drug detox and treatment setting like Orchid, support groups can provide a safe space where clients interact with others who are going through the same challenges. Regular sessions with support groups can reduce feelings of isolation that may arise when someone is battling a condition like substance abuse.
