Our Approach to
Treating Ice Addiction
Our person-centred, trauma-informed approach to ice addiction recognises that it rarely exists in isolation and often masks underlying trauma, anxiety, or depression.
To give you the strongest foundation for lasting recovery, we help you overcome your presenting symptoms and the underlying issues contributing to your addiction.
When you arrive, you will receive a personalised treatment plan structured around our Treatment Roadmap, which guides you through progressive phases that stabilise your physical and mental health and prepare you for a confident return to everyday life.
In our safe, therapeutic environment, you will find the intensive support and supervision necessary to overcome one of the most challenging addictions and reclaim your future.

Personalised Meth Addiction Treatment
at The Dawn Thailand
At the Dawn, you will receive a personalised treatment plan tailored to your recovery needs and guided by our Treatment Roadmap. This paced, structured process manages meth withdrawal, addresses co-occurring mental health conditions, and prepares you for a successful return to everyday life.
Professionally Managed
Withdrawal
Weeks 1 to 2
It all begins with a comprehensive medical assessment to determine your detox needs so we can customise your treatment plan.
Methamphetamine withdrawal requires careful medical supervision as your central nervous system adapts to functioning without the drug.
You will detox onsite under the care of our fully licensed nursing team and in a comfortable, supportive environment, allowing your mind and body to stabilise before starting the next phase of treatment.
Managing Triggers
and Cravings
Weeks 2 to 5
Next, we focus on helping you understand your addiction patterns and develop the tools to break destructive cycles while healing the impact of your meth addiction.
Therapies include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to change thought patterns that drive addiction
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MCBT) to develop present-moment awareness
- Individual therapy sessions to explore and work through your personal issues
You will also participate in AA and NA meetings to build your sober community and receive peer support.
Addressing Underlying
Causes
Weeks 5 to 12
This phase is critical for preventing relapse and achieving lasting recovery.
We explore and resolve the underlying trauma, mental health conditions, and life experiences that led to your ice addiction.
Therapies include:
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) to safely process traumatic experiences that fuel your addiction
- Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories
How long is ice rehab?
−The average stay is around 60 days, though your treatment duration will depend on several factors, including the severity of your addiction and how you respond to treatment.
If you are struggling with co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma, a longer stay of approximately 90 days allows us to provide more thorough care that better prepares you for lasting recovery.
Once we complete your assessment, we will work together to determine the ideal treatment length for your situation.
How is meth addiction treated?
+Our trauma-informed treatment recognises that people often turn to methamphetamine as a way to cope with deeper psychological struggles like anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma.
To ensure sustainable recovery, we help you manage your withdrawal safely while addressing these root causes.
Our treatment combines evidence-based Western therapies like CBT and MCBT with holistic Eastern practices like mindfulness, yoga, and massage. This multifaceted approach addresses your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, leading to profound transformation on every level.
Your personalised treatment plan follows our Treatment Roadmap, which guides you through carefully structured phases tailored to your individual needs. Each phase progresses at a pace that works for you, so you're never overwhelmed as you lay the groundwork for a return to everyday life.
How is The Dawn’s meth rehab different to others?
+Several factors set The Dawn apart from other meth addiction treatment centres:
- Asia's only CARF-accredited rehab: This internationally recognised accreditation is awarded only to leading treatment facilities that demonstrate:
- evidence-based therapeutic methods
- person-centred, trauma-informed care
- strict adherence to international safety and care standards
- Highly personalised approach: Instead of following a one-size-fits-all 12 Step model, we thoroughly assess your specific circumstances and recovery objectives to develop a completely customised treatment plan. Our Treatment Roadmap then guides you through carefully paced phases that support lasting healing without overwhelming you.
- Comprehensive treatment: We combine evidence-based Western psychotherapy with scientifically-backed Eastern wellness practices to address your wellbeing on every level.
- Expert clinical team: You will work with compassionate clinicians trained in the UK, US, and Australia. Our low client-to-staff ratio also ensures you receive dedicated attention throughout your entire recovery journey.
- Therapeutic environment: Your treatment occurs in a setting far away from everyday stresses and triggers, allowing you to concentrate fully on recovery without the pressures of daily obligations.
- Ongoing support: Our Free Lifetime Aftercare Programme provides ongoing support to help you maintain your sobriety long after you return home.
- Relapse warranty: Complete 12 weeks of treatment, and if you relapse within one year, you can return for 28 days of residential treatment at no additional charge, giving you peace of mind as you navigate early recovery.
- Exceptional value: All of this is available at significantly lower costs than comparable Western facilities while maintaining the same clinical standards.

How does the quality of care compare to the rehabs in the US or UK?
−You can trust that your care meets the same rigorous standards as high-quality treatment facilities in the US and UK.
As Asia's only CARF-accredited rehab, we adhere to the strict guidelines for clinical care and safety that govern top-tier treatment centres in the US. This means we use evidence-based treatment methods tailored to your individual needs rather than the 12 Step one-size-fits-all model.
We also provide onsite detox with 24/7 medical support. We maintain a 90% programme completion rate, with 96% of our clients recommending The Dawn to others.
This exceptional standard of care comes at significantly lower costs than comparable Western facilities, allowing you to invest in longer, more comprehensive treatment without compromising on quality.
Is meth rehab in Thailand covered by insurance?
+Yes, The Dawn accepts insurance from leading healthcare providers worldwide for meth addiction treatment.
Coverage varies depending on your specific insurance plan and provider, so we recommend consulting directly with your insurance company about their coverage for international addiction treatment to ensure all your questions are answered prior to beginning treatment.
Many clients find that even with partial coverage, the significantly lower costs of treatment in Thailand compared to Western facilities can make comprehensive meth rehab more accessible and affordable than local options.
Is language a barrier in Thai rehabs?
+Not at The Dawn. All therapy sessions, medical care, and daily activities are provided in English. Our team speaks fluent English and includes licensed professionals trained in the US, UK, and Australia, so you will never have to worry about being misunderstood or lost in translation. Most of our clients are from the US, UK, and Australia, creating a familiar cultural environment for your recovery journey.
Inpatient vs Outpatient Ice Rehab
Inpatient ice rehab removes you from everyday triggers and offers intensive support that outpatient programmes cannot match.
At The Dawn, every aspect of your treatment, from therapeutic sessions and medical oversight to wellness practices and community support is coordinated within one facility. This integrated approach lets you focus fully on your healing journey.
Inpatient – Creates the perfect environment for deep healing and lasting recovery by removing you from the people, places, and circumstances that contribute to your ice addiction.
Outpatient – Increases relapse risk by keeping you exposed to triggers like stress, social situations, and ice availability, while you are also trying to manage treatment alongside daily responsibilities.
Inpatient – Provides uninterrupted care as detox and therapy take place in the same facility with 24/7 medical support.
Outpatient – Leaves you vulnerable during the critical transition period between completing detox and starting therapy.
Inpatient – Accelerates your progress through intensive daily treatment that combines medical supervision, individual therapy, group therapy, and holistic practices.
Outpatient – Slows your recovery progress through limited weekly or bi-weekly sessions that require exceptional self-discipline during your most vulnerable recovery periods.
Inpatient – Eliminates logistical stress by offering all services (detox, therapy, medical care, wellness sessions) in one convenient location.
Outpatient – Adds logistical complexity as you juggle multiple appointments across different locations and manage care from various treatment professionals.
Inpatient – Facilitates peer connection and mutual support through group sessions where you share experiences with others overcoming similar ice addiction struggles.
Outpatient – Limits peer support by typically providing only individual sessions without opportunities to connect with others navigating similar ice addiction recovery journeys.
