The Dawn Wellness Centre and Rehab Thailand
ASIA’S ONLY INTERNATIONALLY ACCREDITED TREATMENT CENTRE WITH SEPARATE PROGRAMMES FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION REHAB
The Dawn is the only international rehab centre in Asia-Pacific to receive accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF International), putting us on par with the top rehabs in America. Our CARF accreditation highlights our continuous commitment to high-quality addiction and mental health treatment.
The Dawn has helped hundreds of individuals seeking to turn their lives around and start afresh at our alcohol rehab Thailand or drug rehab in Thailand. We have also assisted those struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and dual-diagnosis to truly heal and recover at our peaceful riverfront sanctuary in the city of Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand. Here, far from your daily triggers, you will be poised to reap the restorative benefits of ground-breaking Western therapeutic techniques as well as traditional Asian wellness practices.
Our holistic treatment approach takes your whole picture into account – your presenting issue, underlying issues, past experiences, relationships, environment, and family dynamics – and addresses problems at their source. Even if you have been resistant to treatment in the past, we believe that with enough personal attention you can experience a deep transformation beyond what you ever thought was possible.
Asia’s Boutique Rehab Where Big Changes Happen
Here at The Dawn alcohol and drug rehab Thailand, we take the time to get to know you. We don’t just look at the issue that brought you here, but your life as a whole, and all of the experiences that got you to where you are now. Unlike bigger rehabs where high turnover and an overwhelming number of clients can add to your stress, we keep things small and low-key. That means you will easily make friends with others in your programme, and you’ll have an all-access pass to our team for support whenever you need it. And while we may be known to the general public overseas as one of the best rehabs abroad, we are equally respected in the international professional mental health community for our highly-effective mental health programme.
We are different from most Thailand drug rehab centers in that we specialise in treating unresolved trauma, a hidden cause of most addictions. You will receive a thorough assessment and custom-designed treatment plan, which will be adjusted over the course of your stay to ensure it meets your ever-evolving needs. Our multidisciplinary team of Western-educated therapists are up-to-the-minute trained in the latest treatment techniques. They are supported by a 24-hour onsite professional nursing team who have vast experience in handling detox as well as supporting patients with psychological issues, making us the best drug rehab in Thailand.
The Dawn’s Life-Changing Mental Health Retreat
All Thailand rehab centers claim to treat mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. However, at most of these Thailand rehabs, your mental health disorder will only get addressed for an hour or two a week during your weekly or biweekly individual counselling sessions – instead of being the main focus of your treatment. This is because the drug and alcohol rehabs in Thailand are mainly addiction-focused centres offering just an addiction programme and are therefore only capable of treating a mental health problem as a co-occurring disorder, a common manifestation in addiction sufferers.
At The Dawn, however, we offer a dedicated mental health programme that is separate from our addiction treatment Thailand programme, for those struggling with mental health issues not related to addiction. However, it is common for individuals struggling with their mental wellness to turn to substances to cope. In such cases, we can move clients seamlessly between the two programmes – as and when they are clinically ready. We also offer TMS therapy for people resistant to antidepressant medication – an FDA-approved technology not available at any other residential treatment facility in Asia.
TEAM OF EXPERT CLINICIANS
Our highly experienced team, who all hold at least a Master’s Degree in their field, are truly dedicated to their vocation and will always go the extra mile to ensure you get the most out of your treatment. Our clients and staff are one big family, and as soon as you arrive, you will be welcomed into it. You won’t feel like a number here – everyone you come into contact with each day will know you by name. At The Dawn addiction rehab Thailand, we treat you as a person, not a problem.
PROGRESSIVE TREATMENT METHODS
The Dawn rehab in Thailand combines evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and the 12 Steps with modern treatment methods like TMS for an all-encompassing approach to your recovery. Your psychotherapy will be enhanced by ancient yet scientifically-proven holistic practices like mindfulness meditation, yoga, and massage to accelerate your progress. By learning new practices, you will gain the tools you need to deal with life’s temptations and challenges – ensuring long-term recovery.
RESORT-STYLE THAILAND REHAB
Our tranquil grounds are set on the banks of the Ping River, on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, surrounded by picturesque rice fields and traditional Thai villages. You’ll feel relaxed in your comfortable private bedroom, where you can wake up to sunny skies, fresh air, and stunning natural scenery. And you will have access to our full range of services and amenities such as a swimming pool, massage studio, and fitness centre.
The only Thailand Rehab offering a Relapse Warranty
We are confident that our high quality of treatment and your personal growth combined with the coping skills you will accumulate while in treatment will prepare you for a life of sobriety. As the top drug and alcohol rehab Thailand, The Dawn offers a rare Addiction Relapse Warranty policy, which ensures that anyone who completes 12 weeks of treatment for drug or alcohol addiction can come back for an additional 28 days of residential treatment, at no additional cost, if they relapse within one year.

FAQS
Q. How much does rehab cost in Thailand?
A: Services and the quality of the services offered determine the cost of rehab in Thailand. Based on the level of clinical care and amenities available at each facility, treatment programmes can range from $6,000 to $18,000. At The Dawn, we stand out through:
- The Dawn is the only rehab in the Asia-Pacific region with CARF International accreditation, a status shared with high quality U.S. treatment centres
- We offer personalised treatment plans as well as a Trauma Programme (vs a basic 12-step group-approach programme)
- 24-hour medical support and onsite detox
- Resort-like accommodation and amenities
- 30% of the price of similar quality rehabs in the US such as Sierra Tucson, The Meadows and The Guest House
- Less than 1/2 the price of similar quality centres in the UK such as The Priory, Lifeworks and Castle Craig
- 1/2 the price of similar quality centres in Australia such as Palladium Private and South Pacific Private
Q. How long is rehab?
A: The length of a rehab programme can last from 28 days to 3 months, but a 28-day programme often provides only short-term solutions, while research shows that a longer programme offers the best chance for long-term recovery and relapse prevention. At The Dawn, our Treatment Roadmap is based on a 90-day duration, which allows enough time to address both presenting and underlying issues through a phased approach: Phase 1. Detox and stabilisation – this includes teaching you coping skills to manage your triggers and cravings Phase 2. Treating the root causes of your addiction or co-occurring mental health disorders Phase 3. Step Down Programme for transitioning back to daily life
Q. What is the success rate of rehab?
A: The success rate of rehab varies depending on factors such as: (1) the quality of the treatment programme – does it address the root cause of the addiction such as co-occurring mental health issues? (2) the length of time spent in treatment, (3) the individual’s commitment to the recovery process, (4) participation in aftercare programmes and support groups. Research indicates that completing a rehab programme significantly improves the chances of achieving and maintaining long-term sobriety. At The Dawn Rehab in Thailand, based on our SF-12 survey* 2023 results, we boast a
- 90% programme completion rate
- with 88% of clients reporting significant improvement in their ‘quality of life’ and the remaining 12% seeing satisfactory improvements
- 90% of detox clients completed their detox within 10 days with a CIWA* score of 0-1 (no withdrawal symptoms)
Q. Are rehabs in Thailand good?
A: Rehabs in Thailand can offer quality treatment that meets international standards, but it's important to verify accreditation from recognised bodies like CARF International to ensure proper medical oversight. Thoroughly researching credentials, staff qualifications, and treatment methods is essential to finding a facility that matches your specific needs. The best facilities combine Western therapeutic practices with Thai hospitality, creating a unique healing environment.
Q. How to choose a rehab facility in Thailand?
A: Selecting a rehab facility in Thailand requires evaluating several key factors: accreditation, medical staff credentials, and treatment programmes aligned with your specific needs. Consider the facility's location, accommodation and amenities, and whether they offer a comprehensive aftercare plan to support long-term recovery. Requesting detailed programme information, and confirming that the facility provides evidence-based treatments alongside any holistic approaches. A quality facility should be willing to answer all your questions about their programmes and protocols.
