New Hope Rehab Combined Online and Residential Course
Please Note: Using our latest online help that we are providing is not meant to replace or substitute actually being at Hope Rehab itself for detox and treatment. Hope Rehab is where you experience the powerful realizations and unity working together as a group, learning to work as a team, or the face-to-face intimate relationship with your counsellor. Part of what makes Hope one of the best treatment centers is our secure environment and unique atmosphere, the Thai culture, the diverse team, the facility and accommodation, the food, sharing the everyday lessons learned by living in our community, also all our many recourses and much much more…we do understand this! — However, our online program that we have (initially used for aftercare) now also used for pre-Rehab preparation due to delays in getting here is working very well and is now part of our package.
Begin Your Journey To Hope Before You Get to Thailand
Did you know that the period just before coming to rehab can be just as challenging as the transition back home following treatment? During this waiting time your motivation can start to fade (this is even more likely if there is a delay of a few weeks before the decision to quit and getting the help you need) and your life can be further damaged by those final episodes of drug use. In response to these risks, we have created Hope Online Treatment, so you can begin your recovery journey even before you arrive in Thailand. This new addition to our treatment package compliments our aftercare program that is designed to ease your transition back home.
What to Expect From the Hope Online Starter Program
Apart from giving you a taste of the Hope Rehab Program itself, online engagement also increases your readiness and ability change. The course has been thoughtfully designed and structured with built in flexibility for the convenience of clients wherever they are.
We can offer either harm reduction advice or relapse prevention tools that you will be able to use until you arrive at Hope in Thailand. These also include tools for managing cravings, anxiety, & depression. If you feel up to it, you can even start work on the Hope Program using our handbook and assignments. This means you will be able to hit the ground running when you get here.
Your counsellor can become a mentoring offering a sense of accountability which helps many people stick with any healthy decisions being committed to. In addition we provide support & advice with interpersonal relationships as these can be a source of high stress to clients waiting to come to Hope.
Hope even gives your family or loved-ones some support while you wait to be admitted.
Practical help we offer includes Supporting letters for employers, education providers and the authorities generally, we will advocate on your behalf. We offer crisis management, guidance and problem solving solutions that may not have access to otherwise.
Detox Advice

Hope. It’s all in the name really. I was broken when I arrived at Hope. I’d been in and out of Rehabs in Australia, never really coming to terms with, or believing it were possible to stay sober. Hope changed all that. Hope not only got me clean, It helped me find purpose. It helped change my mindset. It gave me Hope again.
