When it comes to addiction treatment there are two broad types – inpatient and outpatient rehab (aka as dayhab).
But what is best for you?
Here are some questions to ask yourself and factors to consider before you put together a shortlist of centres to compare.
Going abroad for treatment may seem stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.
At The Cabin, you can rest assured that all aspects of your treatment – from initial assessment to aftercare – will be handled seamlessly.
Below is a overview of our admissions process:
Step 1: Your Initial Phone Call or Email
Your journey with The Cabin starts when you contact us by phone or email to learn about our treatment programme and how it can help you. During your guidance call, we’ll ask you questions, walk you through our treatment options and give you all of the information you need.
This simple, confidential phone call will serve as a useful guide on what to do going forward.
Step 2: Your Phone Assessment
After your initial guidance call, you’ll receive a second call from one of our counsellors to help us understand your personal, medical and substance abuse history in more detail.
This call will help our counsellors begin to develop an appropriate treatment programme suited to your individual needs.
Step 3: Registration, Deposit
& Travel Arrangements
You’ll receive a registration form and invoice from our admissions team. Once you make your deposit payment, we’ll work with you to arrange your flights and visa.
Step 4: Arrival in Thailand
Upon your arrival in Chiang Mai, you’ll be greeted at the airport by one of our support staff members. Once we’ve collected your baggage, you’ll be privately transported to our secluded rehab location, which is only 30 minutes from the airport.
Step 5: Arrival at The Cabin
Before you start treatment at The Cabin, you’ll have a comprehensive medical and psychiatric evaluation with our medical team, allowing us to develop a treatment plan that takes into account your unique circumstances, needs and preferences.
Step 6: Treatment at The Cabin
After your assessment, you’ll settle into a routine of one-on-one and group counselling, wellness therapies, physical exercise and excursions with your fellow clients.
Step 7: Aftercare in Your Home Country
Once you’ve completed treatment at The Cabin, we’ll provide you with a discharge summary and a list of aftercare options for when you return home. You’ll continue to receive guidance and support via follow-up treatment at one of our intensive outpatient programmes, online video aftercare, our alumni network and more.
Feel free to let us know if you need any assistance in getting to Thailand.
We can help you to arrange flights, travel insurance, visas and many other aspects of your trip.
Here’s some basic information to help you make your initial plans:
Visas
Upon entry to Thailand, most nationalities are eligible to receive a 30-day visa exemption. Should you wish to attain a longer period of visa validity, we can either assist you in applying for a visa before leaving your home country, or help you to extend your visa from Chiang Mai. If you need more information regarding visa applications, please feel free to contact us.
Flights
For most journeys, you’ll have to transfer in the capital city of Bangkok (although this is not always the case – direct flights to Chiang Mai are available from several cities including Singapore, Seoul and Kuala Lumpur). Chiang Mai is a one-hour flight from Bangkok and there are frequent connections throughout the day, from early morning until late night. Your admissions officer will assist you with flight bookings.
Airport Transfers
Once you arrive at Chiang Mai airport, our staff will greet you and take you on a short 20-minute drive to our facilities by private transportation.
Arrival Times
Except under exceptional circumstances, we ask that clients arrive at The Cabin before 4pm, preferably Monday-Friday, to ensure a smooth admission.
Payment Procedure
At the time of booking, we will also require a 35% deposit.
