The Cabin Chiang Mai is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility located in Chiang Mai, Thailand.[1][2][3][4][5] The center has offered treatment for alcohol, drug and behavioral addiction since 2009.[6][7][8] The center is a noted medical tourism location for international patients from countries such as the United States, U.K., India, Oman and Australia.[9][10]
History
The Cabin treatment center was founded in 2009.[4] The center provides both short and long-term inpatient care with Western-trained medical staff.[6][11][12] Residential inpatient programs lasting from 28 days to three months are offered at the center, which holds 50 beds between two sites.[2][13][14] The ages of patients at the center ranges from 18 to 65.[6][7][4] The Cabin does not publicly disclose its location as part of its policy to protect patients’ privacy.[4][13] In 2011, The Cabin experienced an influx of clients from West Australia.[6][7][14] This increase has made Australians the largest segment of the center’s international clientele.[9][14] In 2012, the center began expansion on the site to add 16 more beds.[12] In 2013, The Cabin treated 44 patients from Singapore.[15] The Cabin has treated several celebrities and athletes including, Pete Doherty, Michael Barrymore, Nathan Baggaley,[16] Cat Marnell, Chris Maund, Grant Denyer,[17] and Gail Porter.[18][19][20][21][22][23]
In October 2014, News.com.au featured a profile on The Cabin and a visit to the facility.[24] The Cabin announced The Cabin Hong Kong, the first outpatient addiction treatment facility in Asia, in November 2014.[25]
As of 2014, The Cabin has treated more than 1,000 patients and has a 96% program completion rate.[26]
Treatment methods
The Cabin uses both modern and holistic rehabilitation methods,[6][11][12] for both chemical (drugs and alcohol) and process (sex, gambling, and gaming) addictions.[27] The center claims a non-religious approach combining the AA 12-step method, cognitive behavioral therapy, and physical exercise tailored to patients’ needs.[6][12][28] In addition, the program facilitates the three circles method by using abstinence and routine as tools in rehabilitation.[2][13] Weekly activities such as expressive therapy, fishing, rafting, rock climbing and elephant trekking are included as part of the recovery process.[28]
