Prescription Rehab Thailand:
Freedom from Painkillers Starts Here
Prescription drug addiction has reached epidemic proportions globally in recent years. The types of medications most commonly abused are opioids (such as hydrocodone), benzodiazepines (such as Xanax) and stimulants (such as Adderall). This disturbing trend has led to a host of problems, including increased ER visits due to accidental overdoses.
Despite this growing concern, prescription medications are profusely over-prescribed. Because they are recommended by a doctor, prescriptions are often seen as safe; many users don’t understand the seriousness of their side effects and addictive potential. And because they are more socially acceptable, it is possible to be a high-functioning prescription drug addict for a long period of time without even realising you have a problem. Those trying to get sober from prescription drugs also have a high incidence of relapse.
At The Dawn Thailand, we understand how challenging it can be to recover from prescription drug addiction. That is why our prescription rehab Thailand has designed a comprehensive treatment programme that helps you to safely detox and prepare you for long-term sobriety. And we are here to support you through the entire process.
Effects and Risks of Prescription Medication Abuse
While the effects of each drug differ from one another, all prescription medications have a powerful effect on the brain. They produce their effects by working on your neurotransmitters, changing the way your brain works. This effect becomes more pronounced when you increase your dosage over time, which commonly happens as you begin to build tolerance.
Depressants like benzos can cause difficulty speaking or breathing, sleepiness at inappropriate times, confusion and impairment of motor skills. Opioids may cause you to feel extremely drowsy, nauseous, bloated and constipated. They also depress (and can even stop) your breathing, which is the main cause of overdose in opioid-related deaths. Stimulants like prescription amphetamines cause your heart to race and your body temperature to skyrocket. And the effects of all of these drugs become worse and more complicated when combined with other drugs or alcohol, which is often the case.

GET HELP WITH PRESCRIPTION DRUG ADDICTION TREATMENT
Why Our Inpatient Prescription Rehab in Thailand is the Most Effective Option
In outpatient rehab (during which you remain at home while regularly attending counselling), you are at greater risk of being exposed to negative influences and triggers. But in our inpatient prescription rehab Thailand there are no distractions to deter you from your treatment pathway. The old habits and daily stressors that once drove your addiction are kept at a distance, while you have the space to work on yourself and lay the foundation for a life of sobriety in an international rehab abroad.
How Our Prescription Drug in Thailand Programme Works
Depending on your level of dependency, you may need to detox from the drugs in your system before receiving addiction treatment. As some prescription drugs produce dangerous withdrawal symptoms, it’s important to taper off them in a controlled environment under medical supervision. At The Dawn drug addiction treatment in Thailand, we have a certified medical team with extensive experience in performing all types of medical detox. You’ll be cared for 24 hours a day by our attentive and compassionate staff, and stay in relaxing private accommodation to make your detox as comfortable as possible.
At The Dawn, our programme will be customised to your needs and adjusted to reflect your progress, but the main components of your psychotherapy will include:
- Individual and group therapy
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Non-religious 12-Step support
- Relapse prevention plan
- Online aftercare
We also offer integrated treatment for those with co-occurring mental health conditions.
We offer a variety of holistic treatments to support your therapeutic process and help you feel clear and grounded. These include:
- Mindfulness meditation
- Yoga
- Massage therapy
- Exercise
- Art therapy
- Muay Thai boxing
You will also have access to our gym, swimming pool and meditation spaces, so you can restore your body and mind to an optimal state of balance.
