12-Step Residential Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
Using a holistic residential programme we integrate the 12-step model of treatment with psychotherapy, complementary therapy and spa treatments.
Rehabilitation for Addiction and other Conditions
We can help with the following addictions: alcohol, benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, crack, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, other drugs, and gambling. We can help with depression, stress, anxiety, phobias and relationships.
Rehabilitation Program Components
The following components of the rehabilitation program are both comprehensive and complementary. We have an array of integrated and supplementary approaches to ensure the highest level of quality service and the greatest degree of successful rehabilitation.
Initial Assessment
We ask for some brief information about drug or alcohol use, an overview of current circumstances and expectations for attending treatment.
Comprehensive Assessment
Clients are assessed by one of our counselors or psychotherapists prior to admission. A needs assessment ensures we can meet the requirements for treatment.
For clients taking prescribed medications we liaise with our qualified psychiatrist. Prescribed medication use is monitored and evaluated during your stay.
Detoxification at an International Hospital
During initial assessment we make a full evaluation of the client’s current circumstances. Some clients may require detoxification.
For clients who require detoxification before attending the Breathing Space Thailand program, we can refer to a nearby English-speaking International Hospital in Chiang Mai. Supervised medical detoxification is conducted under the care of a fully qualified medical team, and under the supervision of our specialist addictions psychiatrist.
Detoxification and any medication prescribed as part of your detoxification is at an additional cost.
Individualized Client Plan
An individualized client treatment plan recognizes each client is unique and that recovery is a process. The client assessment forms the basis of an agreed upon addiction rehabilitation plan. Each week clients attend integrated as well as complementary offerings, including
- Three 1-2-1 therapy sessions
- Five group therapy sessions
- Two psycho-educational workshops
- Spa treatments
- Tai Chi (Chi Kung)
- Yoga
- Personal Training
- Nutrition Consultation
- 12-Step Meetings
Therapy
The psychotherapies used in our program are proven to deliver results for the treatment of addiction and disorders. We use many types of therapies, depending on the individual clients needs.
Group Therapy
Groups help to complement 1-2-1 therapy by sharing individual experiences of drug or alcohol addiction with others and gaining valuable insight from fellow peers. Clients write a daily diary to describe their current thoughts, feelings and behavior to review in the group. Group therapy is a focal point for self-analysis and a very powerful catalyst for change.
Psycho-educational Workshop
These sessions broaden an understanding of addiction and empower the client with information they can apply to their recovery from drug or alcohol addiction.
These solution-focused workshops provide a reliable skill-set that you can apply to recovery during your time at Breathing Space Thailand and when you return to everyday life. While these results-orientate workshops take place in groups, they include also modules that are individualized for each client, taking into consideration the substance(s) they’ve used and their own personal experience of addiction. Workshop topics include triggers, cravings, cycle of change, high risk situations, coping strategies and relapse prevention.
Drug and Alcohol Addiction Recovery – Aftercare
Eight aftercare therapy sessions are included in the program fee, for all programs of 28 days and above, with a therapist in your locality.
Breathing Space Thailand considers the aftercare process to be an integral part of recovery. Success beyond the stay with us will come from maintaining a focus on recovery.
To remain substance free in everyday life requires that the client apply everything they have learned at Breathing Space Thailand and build on it with aftercare therapy.
We support our clients in the aftercare process by working together with them to devise an individualized aftercare plan they can follow when they return home. On completion of treatment, we place clients with a qualified and experienced therapist to continue the process of change achieved at Breathing Space Thailand.
If a therapist is unavailable in a client’s location, we arrange telephone or online therapy through our international network of qualified therapists.
