If you or someone you care about is having problems with drug or alcohol abuse you are probably wondering what to do. Since you are reading this you are probably considering a residential drug rehab or alcohol rehabilitation programme. Most rehabilitation programmes require a commitment of 12 weeks or more and it may not be practical to take that long out of your life to attend a rehab programme, especially if you have a demanding career or children. Also you may not want your problems to become common knowledge. We offer a discreet, and shorter, alternative.

Set in a lush tropical paradise on the banks of the River Kwai, Channah offers you a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) programme unlike anything available elsewhere in the world, and tailored to your needs.

Combining the best elements of 6 and 12 week CBT programmes you now have the opportunity to take a 28 day ‘holiday’ whilst undergoing a drug rehab and alcohol rehabilitation programme. This allows you to keep your rehab a private matter, if you wish, without compromising the quality or depth of the programme.

Should you find even 28 days too much, our course can be arranged in one week modules making it possible for you to spend one or two weeks dealing with certain areas that are causing you problems. You can talk to our referral team who will help you decide which modules will be most useful to you. We also offer longer programmes if you feel it is necessary.

When you return home you will still have a full three month aftercare package to support you in those crucial early days.

At Channah we believe that drugs or alcohol are not the problem, they are the solution to the underlying issues of why you started using drugs or alcohol in the first place. If the underlying issues are dealt with in an effective manner the need to use addictive substances to deal with them will lessen and become manageable.

You may have made some bad decisions in your past but we believe you have the strength and determination to change your behaviour now, you have already taken the first step by reading this, the next one on your path to sobriety is to send us an email or pick up the phone and call one of the numbers on the contact us page.

If you are struggling with drug abuse or alcohol abuse now is not the time to wait, it is the time to act. There is no need to do this on your own, we can help. Rehab is what we do and we are very good at it, you can join the many clients that have been to Channah and now enjoy an alcohol or drug free life. Residential drug and alcohol treatment followed by aftercare and a continuing commitment on your part to live a drug or alcohol free life is your best chance for recovery and a life without substance abuse.

Coming to Thailand may seem like an extreme way to deal with your problem, however getting as far away from your present environment while you deal with your substance abuse is probably one of the best decisions you will ever make. Coming to Channah for residential treatment and detox will give you several advantages over a local drug and alcohol treatment centre. You will be in a safe environment surrounded by caring and understanding professionals that are here to help you, you will not be subjected to your regular triggers that are part of your everyday life while you learn the tools you need to deal with them in an appropriate way, you will be in a place with no opportunity for relapse and, most importantly, you will be in a caring professional environment during your primary treatment.

Channah's treatment completion rate since opening is 92%, thus ranking the centre among the best in the world. We have managed this success rate by being in a remote location, making our facilities as comfortable as possible, treating each client as a unique individual with dignity and respect, with no access to drugs or alcohol.

About our drug rehab and alcohol rehabilitation and addiction treatment center

The drug and alcohol rehab and addiction treatment center at Channah Thailand is Asia’s leading drug rehab and alcohol rehabilitation programme for English speaking clients. Channah offers a drug rehab and alcohol rehabilitation programme unlike anything available in the world and is the leader in Asia. Once a client is accepted to the drug rehab center they are detoxed on site if possible, offsite if necessary, after a full medical assessment in a private hospital. Each client at Channah participates in a clinical rehabilitation programme that has been designed specifically for their needs and will include individual 1:1 therapy, cognitive-behavioral approach based groups, relapse prevention and awareness, breathing exercises, and physical training. In addition to clinical programs, Channah offers a wide range of activities to support client recovery, including group excursions, acupuncture, outdoor activities, massage, meditation, kayaking on the River Kwai, personal training three times a week, and a large selection of sports and recreational equipment. The facilities at Channah are much more like a luxury resort than a drug and alcohol rehab and addiction treatment center.

Residents at the Channah drug rehab center always enjoy a luxurious and relaxing stay, with beautiful premises, gourmet meals, laundry service, WiFi Internet access, private accommodation, and personalized treatment that only a small drug rehab center can provide.

Most clients fly into Bangkok airport where they are greeted by an English speaking member of staff and escorted by private car to the drug and alcohol rehab center to start their treatment. Prior to coming to Thailand a qualified member of staff will conduct a short phone interview to be sure Channah’s drug and alcohol programme is the most suitable programme for your needs. Upon arrival at Channah you will be inducted into the programme and an in depth assessment will take place at that point.

Channah offers a recovery programme comparable or superior to the best rehabilitation centers in California or the UK. Being 15 km from the closest town you will be in a safe, supportive, and relaxing environment, far away from the temptations of drugs and alcohol, our addiction treatment center is unparalleled in the world.

This is not an alcoholics anonymous, AA, narcotics anonymous, CA, cocaine anonymous, or NA programme but we do acknowledge the benefits of 12 step programmes. CBT is an alternative that doesn’t require a life long commitment. We believe you have it in you, if given the appropriate tools to change. If you wish to use the 12 step fellowship as part of your aftercare we will work with you to achieve this. We also believe each client is an individual and their drug rehab and treatment should be tailored for them personally. We can also provide you with contact information on 12 step meetings and other available help in Asia.
