International Accreditation
We are the only Asia-Pacific rehab and mental health treatment facility with international accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF International), a mark of high quality treatment centres in America.

Our Treatment
Approach
Personalised
Treatment
We understand that every person is unique and in need of personalised treatment, guidance, and care. With this in mind, our dedicated therapists aim to create treatment plans that are specifically suited for each client. We want to ensure that every client receives the right balance of treatment, relaxation, and wellness.
24 Hour
Medical Support
We have a 24-hour professional nursing team onsite who have vast experience in handling detox as well as patients with psychological issues. They monitor and assist clients as required under the supervision of our psychiatrist who handles all medication prescription.
TMS – Cutting Edge Treatment
The Dawn is the only mental health and rehab in Asia offering the innovative Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation treatment or TMS – an FDA approved, non-invasive technology that helps in the treatment of depression and anxiety related disorders. TMS is exceptionally effective in individuals who are resistant to normal depression medication. Moreover, TMS treatment does not have the unpleasant side effects associated with many depression medications.
Trauma
Programme
In our Trauma Programme, we delve into and address the underlying causes of your addiction or mental health condition. We utilise a personalised, trauma-informed approach through evidence-based therapies such as TF-CBT, EMDR, exposure therapy, and somatic techniques to achieve true recovery.
Aftercare
Support
The Dawn offers structured online aftercare support to provide clients with guidance and support once they are home. These group therapy sessions are held at a convenient time for our clients in US, UK and Australian time zones.
Addiction Relapse Warranty
We offer an Addiction Relapse Warranty for clients who complete 12 weeks of treatment for alcohol and drug addiction – if you relapse within 12 months you can return to The Dawn for 28 days of treatment at no additional cost.
Private Rooms
Every client gets their own private room with an ensuite bathroom, WiFi, and a full range of amenities in a resort style setting. The Dawn Rehab in Thailand offers a wonderfully peaceful sanctuary in which to relax and heal your mind, body, and soul.
Weekly Outings
Weekly excursions are offered to clients so they can experience the cultural and beauty of nearby attractions in Chiang Mai. Outdoor activities include temple visits, bike riding through rice fields, a visit to the elephant sanctuary and more.
Affordability
Due to the lower drug rehab Thailand cost of living in South East Asia compared to the West, The Dawn’s high-quality, all-inclusive inpatient treatment programmes cost less than half the price of similar standard treatment centres in Australia, the USA and the UK.

Frequently Asked
Why do people go to Asia for rehab?
Many people choose rehab in Asia for its mix of affordability, quality, and privacy. Treatment costs are often far lower than in the US, UK, or Australia, yet many centres are staffed by internationally trained professionals.
Being far from home offers anonymity and distance from triggers, while tropical settings and resort-style facilities create a calming environment. Programmes often blend evidence-based therapy with local practices like meditation, yoga, and massage. Shorter wait times also make Asia an attractive option for those seeking immediate help.
