The key to escaping addiction is to combine your determination for change with the right resources.

By choosing an appropriate addiction treatment program, you greatly increase your chances of success. Here are just some of the reasons for why Hope Rehab Thailand might be exactly what is needed:

Hope Rehab Is Where the East Meets the West
Our program emphasizes approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, 12-step work, and mindfulness therapy because these are backed by evidence. We believe it is important to offer you a good selection of therapies because this increases the likelihood you will end up with the tools you need to succeed in the future. There are some local practices here in Thailand that are of value to people in recovery, and we have also incorporated these into our program – e.g. Thai massage, mahasati meditation, and brahma vihara meditation.
You Will Find Support and Understanding in Our Community
Almost all of our therapists and support workers have the experience of dealing with addiction in their own lives. It is also common for clients who pass through the Hope program to stay involved afterwards – some of them even decide to come back as volunteers. This means you will be entering a community of people who have a good understanding of what you have been going through. We have confidence in the Hope program because it allowed us to become free of addiction and it continues to help us on a daily basis – our advice may be of more value to you because it is of ‘do as we do’ variety rather than ‘do as we say’.
Our Location Provides the Perfect Environment for Recovery
Hope Rehab is located in a secluded residential area in Sri Racha, Chonburi. We are less than an hour away from the International Airport. Our treatment center is located on a hill overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, and we are surrounded by jungle. It is a peaceful environment where you can begin to recuperate and transform your life. There are some amazing things to see in this part of Thailand, places most foreigners miss out on, and you will get to visit some of these locations during your stay with us.
Our Program Gets Results and is Gaining Respect Internationally
Many clients choose to come to Hope after hearing about us in the media – our facility is increasingly being talked about in newspaper and magazine articles, and there have also been documentaries featuring our treatment approach. We are gaining respect internationally because our program gets results.
Hope Gets the Balance Right between Affordable Treatment and the Comfort of Clients
If you are uncomfortable in your surroundings, it is going to be hard for you to get the most out of any treatment program. This is why we strive to offer a good level of luxury while still providing treatment at an affordable cost. Our accommodation is similar to what you will find in a decent resort here in Thailand, and our facilities include an air-conditioned gym, swimming pool, and ample well-maintained communal areas.

6. The power of Hope’s groups:
We are not alone in this world, so we learn from each other at Hope. Sharing is paradoxical; when you share part of yourself to stay well, you help others at the same time. Relationships In our community help you learn how to maintain healthy boundaries with others and the world at large.
7. Getting Structure in your Life:

Think about the cost of your using and lost opportunities against the cost of entering the Hope rehab program, also the bigger picture of your improved life.
9. Positive withdrawal
from society to evaluate yourself and your life. Research suggests that people sometimes achieve change and acceptance through “positive withdrawal” from old environments. Relocating to a new and different environment like Hope Rehab in Thailand can change your perspective by meeting new and interesting people from around the world with different ideals and cultures, the inspiration of new landscapes, which is often found by travelling to somewhere you have never been before.
10. Personal transformation:
The Cocoon metaphor represents a process of change and growth achieved by working an intensive and challenging program. A father and his son walk through the forest in late spring. They spot a butterfly struggling to break free from its cocoon. The boy asked his father to free the butterfly from its natural prison, so he takes out his knife and carefully opens the cocoon. Sadly the butterfly falls to the ground and lies there helplessly trying to flap its wings unable to fly.
