Welcome from The Dawn Rehab in Thailand

Here at The Dawn Rehab Centre in Thailand, we meet you with kindness, not judgment. This is a place of safety, care, and real support.

We get to know you and your life as a whole, understanding all of the experiences that got you to where you are now – and create a custom treatment plan based on your personal goals for recovery.

We are here to walk with you, at your pace, every step of the way.

Our Approach to Addiction Treatment

We recognise that drug and alcohol use disorders, behavioural addictions, and mental health challenges all stem from adverse life experiences and unresolved trauma, which needs to be addressed in order to achieve lasting recovery.

Our structured treatment roadmap, informed by decades of clinical work in alcohol rehab and drug rehab settings, guides you through each step of your recovery. Each phase builds on the last to lay a strong foundation for your return to everyday life.

Away from the stressors of daily life, working with your dedicated therapist and supported by our community, you will undergo a deep transformation that targets the source of your struggles – not just the surface symptoms.

We are fully licensed

Our rehab centre is fully licensed by the Thai Health Ministry. This means The Dawn is regulated and undergoes regular inspections to ensure we meet high standards.

Staying at The Dawn Rehab Thailand

Our rehab centre in Thailand provides a healing environment far from the people, places, and situations that contribute to your condition. This distance allows you to focus solely on yourself and your treatment.

Holistic Treatment from World-class Clinicians

The Dawn employs only the most experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate professionals.

Our clinical team consists of experts educated and trained abroad at institutions in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia. Our client-to-staff ratio is low, ensuring you are always well supported.

Alongside proven Western therapy, your stay will include mindfulness, massage, yoga and physical exercise classes.

Luxury Accommodation and Setting

Our rehab is nestled on the outskirts of the quaint city of Chiang Mai, Thailand, set on sprawling lush green riverfront lawns that are far from the stressors of daily life.

We accommodate a maximum of 30 clients in private, resort-style ensuite rooms. You will have access to a range of luxury facilities including a swimming pool, a fully equipped fitness centre with regular wellness activities like Muay Thai classes, a massage studio, yoga studio, and library. 

Throughout your stay, you will experience meaningful offsite adventures such as kayaking, cooking classes, and cultural temple tours that support your healing journey.

The Dawn’s Addiction Treatment Roadmap

Throughout your time at The Dawn, you will progress through structured phases, each deeply personalised to your needs and designed to address both your presenting and underlying symptoms.

  • Create personal treatment plan based on your goals
  • Medically-assisted onsite detox (if necessary) and community integration

2

Address Presenting Symptoms

(Weeks 2 to 5)

  • Use of advanced therapeutic techniques and holistic work to develop your coping skills to deal with your presenting symptoms, triggers and cravings in everyday life.

The Dawn’s Signature Trauma Programme

Most Thailand rehab centres claim that they deal with underlying mental health conditions, trauma and PTSD. In our opinion, this is difficult to address effectively without the appropriate therapeutic interventions which go beyond traditional counselling. Our specialised Trauma Programme is made up of three key components: Trauma-Focused Individual Therapy, Trauma-Focused Group Work, and Trauma-Focused Somatic Work. It is carefully paced to avoid overwhelming you and reduce the risk of retraumatisation. Learn more.
