Frequently Asked Questions
Most rehab facilities in Thailand cater to an international clientele and operate on a self-pay basis. While some may assist with paperwork for insurance reimbursement, direct billing to international insurance providers is uncommon. Treatment is often significantly more affordable than in Western countries.
Inpatient (or residential) treatment requires you to live at the facility 24/7, providing an immersive, highly structured environment. Outpatient treatment (like PHP or IOP) allows you to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, offering more flexibility to maintain work or family commitments.
Thailand is a premier destination for addiction treatment due to its combination of high-quality, internationally accredited care at a fraction of the cost of Western rehabs. The serene, tropical environment, focus on holistic wellness, and resort-style facilities provide a peaceful and discreet backdrop for healing.
You should typically bring about a week's worth of comfortable, lightweight clothing suitable for a tropical climate, essential toiletries (alcohol-free), your passport and ID, and a list of important phone numbers. Most facilities will provide a detailed packing list. Leave valuables, electronics, and non-prescribed medications at home.
