Hope Advanced Program

“Long-Term Treatment for Long-Term Success”

Recovery can take time, and for many people, a longer period of structured support can make the transition back to everyday life more manageable. Hope Rehab offers special rates for extended treatment through our 90-day Advanced Program, including reduced rates for 12-week stays. This provides clients with the opportunity to spend more time developing their recovery in a safe, supportive environment.

Staying at Hope’s seaside facility also gives you the chance to experience more of Thailand’s culture, natural beauty, and wonderful quirks. There is plenty of serious recovery work to do, but a longer stay also allows time to explore the Sri Racha area, experience local life, and interact with the community.

The Advanced Program builds on the strong foundation established during the initial weeks of treatment. Rather than simply extending your stay, it gives you more time to practice, develop, and embed the skills needed for lasting recovery before facing the challenges of returning home.

The 90-Day Advanced Program

Returning home after a 30-day, or even 60-day, treatment program can be a significant transition. For clients who are willing to commit to a longer period of recovery, our Advanced Program provides additional time to strengthen recovery skills, work on personal goals, and continue receiving therapeutic support.

The Advanced Program normally begins around 6–8 weeks after primary detox and treatment at Hope, depending on each client’s individual needs and progress. A longer stay provides the opportunity to move beyond the initial stages of treatment and begin putting recovery skills into practice in a more independent and realistic way.

The Benefits of a Longer Stay

The Advanced Program is designed to help clients grow in confidence, responsibility, and independence while remaining within a supportive recovery community. Depending on individual circumstances, opportunities may include:

* Taking on peer leadership roles
* Developing peer-support skills
* Catching up with online work or studies
* Voluntary and community work
* Off-site meals and activities
* Shopping and practising everyday independence
* Dental treatment
* Additional healthcare support
* Extra excursions, including Thai markets, temples, and beaches
* Yoga lessons at a local Sri Racha yoga school
* Muay Thai training at a local boxing gym
* Off-site spa treatments
* Beauty and self-care activities
* Cinema evenings
* Attendance at recovery meetings

These activities are not simply recreational. They provide opportunities to practise independence, develop confidence, manage everyday situations, and begin reconnecting with life outside the treatment environment.

Learn Advanced Skills and Strategies for Recovery

By choosing to stay for the Advanced Program, clients have more time to develop the practical skills and strategies needed for long-term recovery. Recovery can be viewed as building a **toolbox of effective coping strategies**. The more useful tools you develop, the better prepared you are to manage stress, emotions, relationships, cravings, and the challenges of everyday life. An extended stay gives you the space to strengthen these skills in a safe environment before returning home and facing the pressures of normal life.

What the Advanced Program Offers

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – is a goal-focused approach that helps people develop greater psychological flexibility and make meaningful changes in their behaviour. ACT can help clients identify behaviours that are unhelpful, understand what is driving them, and move towards actions that are more consistent with their values and recovery goals.

SMART Recovery – stands for Self-Management and Recovery Training. It is a peer-supported recovery approach based on principles including cognitive behavioural strategies. At Hope, staff help guide the process while clients are encouraged to participate actively, share their experiences, and support one another. This creates an opportunity to build confidence, responsibility, and practical recovery skills.

Refuge Recovery – is a peer-support approach incorporating meditation and mindfulness practices. It provides another opportunity for clients to explore recovery, self-awareness, and emotional regulation through a supportive group environment.

Sober Coaching – In addition to regular counselling, clients can receive extra sessions with a Sober Coach focused on preparing for life after treatment. This may include practical areas such as life planning, routines, personal goals, relapse-prevention strategies, and preparing for the challenges of returning home.

Senior Peer Roles – Many people in recovery benefit from developing a life based on helpfulness, responsibility, and service to others. Taking on a Senior Peer Role can provide valuable experience in supporting other clients who are facing similar challenges. Helping others can also strengthen confidence, purpose, gratitude, and a sense of personal responsibility.

Family involvement – is tailored to the individual and may include sessions involving the client, family members, and counsellors. These sessions can provide an opportunity to rebuild relationships, improve communication, explore wants and needs from both sides, and begin the process of making amends where appropriate.

Building Your Recovery Toolbox – Thirty days is a relatively short period of time when recovering from addiction. Initial treatment must focus on the most important elements of recovery and establishing a solid foundation for a new way of living.

A longer program gives you the opportunity to go further.

The Advanced Program allows you to practise your recovery skills, develop greater independence, explore new interests, strengthen relationships, and prepare more thoroughly for life after treatment. Most importantly, it gives you more time to turn recovery from something you learn into something you live. Give yourself the space and time to build a stronger foundation for long-term recovery and a healthier, more fulfilling life beyond treatment.
