Our Picks: The 5 Leading Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centres in Thailand
If you know someone who’s facing substance abuse, one of the best actions you can take is to get outside help. Several families in Thailand have members who suffer from addictions, whether it be alcohol or drugs and thankfully, the country is equipped with facilities to aid them.
These aren’t just your typical rehabilitation centres, however, as these places are considered a haven for long-term healing. This is why you’ll find something more than just a hall or a room where people get treated the traditional way.
With that being said, here are some of the best alcohol/drug rehab facilities in Thailand and their respective highlights and lowlights:

One of the things that we love about Hope Rehab Thailand is its wide array of treatments that cater to different kinds of struggling patients. For instance, they offer mindfulness programs for those who are used to taking substances to cope with life problems.
Furthermore, we were also impressed to see how they offered different treatments for different kinds of substances. This further cemented our confidence in them, giving us the idea that they know that different cases require different levels of care and kinds of treatments.
As for their alcohol programs, you can expect a packed treatment as well. Their package includes mindfulness meditation, a fitness program and various types of therapy.
They also offer recovery programs that they insist on continuing long after the patient’s time in rehab to maintain sobriety. All in all, they offer one of the most impressive sets of packages and treatments that we’ve ever seen in Thailand.
The only downside we saw during our ocular here was that some of their spaces aren’t well-maintained. Some needed some updating while others weren’t on par with our standards when it came to cleanliness.
If you can look past these issues, however, we can say with confidence that you’ll be in great hands, as they’re equipped with the best people, facilities and treatments.
Pros
- Wide array of treatments
- Personalised treatments for different kinds of substance
- Great rooms and amenities
Cons
- Can improve cleanliness in some area
- Some areas need updating
I felt cared for every step of the way
“I’m incredibly thankful to Hope Rehab for guiding me towards a new way of life. Before joining, I was lost in fear and unsure how to move forward. Thanks to my wonderful counselor Michael and the supportive staff, I felt cared for every step of the way. I’m grateful for this second chance at life. I recommend this to anyone who hesitates to find help on addiction that this is the right place. Thank you HOPE REHAB <3”

My mind, body, and soul are so grateful!
“I spent 2 months at Hope and went through tremendous personal growth there. My counsellor, Vinny, got to know me well and led me on a journey (not easy) back to my joyful authentic self. Alon is amazing and always shares her love with others. Her healing guided meditations were highlights for sure. The daily group counseling sessions offered me a great chance to connect with others and I enjoyed the weekly outings. Danny is a wiz at helping folks navigate the Hope experience. The food was delicious with tons of variety. I appreciate Hope’s commitment to overall health. My mind, body, and soul are so grateful!

Miracles Asia Rehab Thailand is one of the most perfect testaments as to why Thailand is known for holistic wellness and healing. This rehab centre feels more like a resort with its luxurious rooms and overall laid-back vibe.
Speaking of rooms, the ones that come here will do more than a great job of making you feel at home as they come with modern amenities you’d typically find in hotels. Plus, there’s also a gorgeous outdoor pool where you can wind down during your long-term stay.
We also love how they cover a wide spectrum of recovering patients, whether it be overcoming addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling, or even the internet.
It also helps that their team is as legit as it can get, featuring aftercare facilitators, therapists and tons of client support.
One of our favourite things about this place, however, is their exciting excursions that allow their patients to gain newfound appreciation in their lives. For instance, one of the weekend excursions here lets them ride on a boat and explore the surrounding islands of Phuket.
The only problem with choosing a lavish rehab centre such as this is the steep price. We can say that it’s great value-for-money though, as you’ll be getting premium perks and major benefits that you simply won’t find in a regular rehab facility.
Pros
- Fun excursions
- Resort-like lifestyle
- Offers a myriad of treatments
Cons
- Expensive rates
Glad I had the opportunity to connect with Miracles Asia
“I had a fantastic experience in my 60-day stay at Miracles Asia. The professionalism of the company and the excellent facilities truly stood out. The teachers conducting the classes were top-notch, making my time here both enjoyable and enriching. Glad I had the opportunity to connect with Miracles Asia.”

“Gave me a life I never knew I could live”
“I have just completed my first full year of full sobriety after years of battle with alcohol (my first rehab elsewhere back in October 2018). After my stay in Miracles I was fully supported by the Miracles extended care and network of solid friends I made during my time there.
For me, it wasn’t only lifesaving but gave me a life I never knew I could live (can’t believe it’s me saying this). Thanks, Mark and everyone who made this possible.”

The River Rehab is one of the most well-rounded rehab facilities in the country. It features a solid set of treatments while also offering a world-class residence for patients who want to be admitted for long-term recoveries.
Right off the bat, one of the things that solidified our confidence in this home is their amazing clinical team. One of their claims is that they are “world-class”, and upon further inspection, we discovered that their therapeutic teams are trained internationally.
We also saw this team as a highlight based on the previous patients that we interviewed, all of whom had good words to say about them.
This team is in charge of the variety of treatments that they offer for different recovering patients around the world, which by the way, are worth highlighting themselves. One particular thing that we love is their adventure therapy, which allows patients to go on exciting excursions.
Lastly, we also love the overall laid-back vibe of this rehab centre, as it creates a serene environment for the recovering patients. This ambience is evident from the lavish rooms down to its world-class facilities as well.
The only thing they could improve upon is their pricing. Although they have a “competitive price”, we still find it to be a bit too expensive for locals’ standards.
Pros
- Offers exciting outdoor adventures
- World-class clinical team
- Wide variety of treatments
Cons
- Expensive rates
A provider of quality care and services
“Care and attention to residents’ needs are the cornerstones that make Homerly a safe, enjoyable, beautiful Care Resort for the elderly. As the resort grows and more residents join in the future, the Homerly team can differentiate activities to meet the needs and interests of the increasingly diverse group of residents.
In short, Homerly has established itself in the market as a provider of quality care and services for residents. With management’s customer-focused approach and attentive, caring staff, the Care Resort will continue to improve and establish new industry best practice standards for quality elderly care in Thailand. Well done to everyone in the Homerly Team. Keep up the good work!”

Plenty of activities are arranged for most days
“My brother has been at Homerly for over two years.
He is well cared for, the staff are very attentive and there are plenty of activities arranged for most days.
The apartments and villas are spacious and well-maintained. The on-site restaurant provides a good selection of meals for both residents and visitors alike.”

The Cabin Chiang Mai Rehab Centre is another facility that feels more like a resort that we highly recommend because of its luxurious treatments.
However, what sold us was that it’s also one of the oldest rehab centres in the country, so we thought that if there was anyone credible to promote recovery, it would be them. Of course, we had to take a closer look, and we must say that we weren’t disappointed at all.
For starters, we loved how they offered treatments for a wide variety of addictions, allowing them to cater to a broader audience. Plus, we also wanted to note that each treatment is helmed by their highly-trained and professional staff members.
We also love how they include holistic approaches to their rehabilitation process. For instance, they offer Sunday excursions where patients can experience a day filled with fun activities like whitewater rafting, zip lining, sightseeing and more.
As for the traditional methods, they also offer therapy and evidence-based methods like medical consultations.
Of course, the downside of having all these luxuries is the steep price that you’ll have to pay, which is something that a lot of people can’t simply overlook. We can say, however, that it’s still cheaper compared to other rehab centres in Western countries.
Pros
- Exciting excursions
- Well-trained team
- Wide variety of holistic and practical treatments
Cons
- Expensive rates
Truly changes lives for the better
“I am incredibly grateful to be part of the team at the Cabin. The work environment is supportive, compassionate, and dedicated to helping individuals on their journey to recovery.
The management truly values employee well-being and provides ample opportunities for professional growth and development. It’s inspiring to witness the positive impact we make in the lives of our clients every day.
The interdisciplinary and holistic approach allows us to address the complex needs of each individual comprehensively. I feel honoured to contribute to such a vital mission and proud to be associated with a centre that truly changes lives for the better.”

The Hills Rehab Thailand immediately piqued our attention for their claim of being the most reputable luxury rehab in the country. Of course, we had to take a closer look, and fortunately, we did, as they drive a strong case for this claim.
For starters, it’s hands-down one of the most beautiful rehab centres in the country, being located in the foothills of Thailand. It also helps that the centre itself looks more like a retreat destination as opposed to a traditional hospital-like facility.
We can see how they value having this kind of ambience, as we saw on their website that they believe in how peacefulness helps in recovery. Aside from setting a serene atmosphere, they also offer a variety of both medical and holistic treatments for their recovering patients.
Their medical treatments come in courtesy of their resident nurses and doctors. Furthermore, we were impressed to find out that they have their own on-site hospital.
Another thing we loved about their programs is their inclusion of excursions. This gave us the impression that they value the improvement of their patient’s quality of life by not confining them within the four walls of their rehab centre.
If we were to improve one thing about this place, it would be its price point. We felt that it’s a bit too high from a local’s standpoint and we think that it’s priced that way to entice foreigners.
Pros
- On-site hospital
- Peaceful ambience
- Wide variety of treatments
Cons
- Expensive
Accommodations were top-notch
“This place was great. Accommodations were top-notch. Ahmed was my counsellor during my stay. I stayed 2.5 months.
I needed Special psychiatry. Dr. S Was a big part of making my stay proper. I came out of a huge cocaine psychosis that was eight months long. I’m from Vancouver Canada.
I stayed with the 12 steps after my stay. My clean date is March 08/2023. I am committed to keeping it by going to meetings and staying away from old friends.”
