Understanding the Severity of Addiction in Thailand

 

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), Addiction in Thailand is diagnosed on a spectrum of eleven criteria, including:

 

• Lack of control
• Desire to quit but unable
• Spending a lot of time trying to get the substance
• Cravings
• Lack of responsibility
• Problems with relationships
• Loss of interest
• Dangerous use
• Worsening situations
• Tolerance
• Withdrawal

 

The severity is determined by how many criteria you meet. For example, if two to three of the criteria apply to you, you would have a mild substance use disorder. But even if you have a mild diagnosis, you should still seek the help of qualified professionals.

 

When to go to Rehabs in Thailand

 

Substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths globally though when it comes to addiction it can prove very difficult to admit that a problem exists.

 

As a general guide if substance abuse and addictive behaviors are causing a negative effect on any aspect of your life then it’s time to consider a period of rehabilitation and recovery. If you’re questioning whether you may need help in rehabilitating your life then it’s very likely that you do, especially if your concerns are around alcohol, opioids or any other psychoactive substance.

 

Inpatient or Outpatient Recovery in Thailand

 

After the decision has been made to undertake a period of rehabilitation one of the first decisions will be to choose between inpatient rehab or outpatient treatment. At Worlds Best Rehab we are firm advocates of inpatient treatment models, given the greater chance of long-term complete recovery.

 

Statistically, those choosing residential treatment in 48-day, 60-day or 90-day programs stand a greater chance of success long-term. The 28-day rehab model can also be successful although do remember that if the 28-days includes a period of medical detox then the total number of ‘therapeutic days’ will be greatly reduced. For this very reason many rehabs in Thailand have after care or secondary treatment options to assist a client reintegrate into their new life in recovery.

 

Alcohol and Substance abuse is one of the biggest killers in the World with nearly 3 million directly attributable deaths per year and countless more unattributed. Even with these facts it remains the one with the most stigma. Worlds Best Rehab is designed to help people make informed choices about high end treatment for recovery from a life threatening condition.

 

Thailand Detox

 

Phase one of inpatient Thailand rehab usually starts with detoxification and it’s the detox phase of recovery that presents the most brutal physical symptoms of addiction. Detox can be undertaken in a medically supervised home detox environment though this must be under the guidance and direction of a Thailand rehab physician.

 

A poorly managed detox can be fatal as the potentially life-threatening effects of suddenly quitting (withdrawing) from alcohol and substance abuse can be very severe.

 

For many people it is safest and preferable to detox under medical supervision in a Thailand rehab facility.

 

Next Phase of Thailand Rehab

 

After a successful detox, therapeutic efforts begin at the in earnest at the Thailand rehab of choice to address the underlying symptoms and catalysts that lead to substance abuse and behavioural disorder. During inpatient Thailand rehab this phase of recovery includes therapy, counseling, peer support and medical care if required.

 

Additionally, many holistic and nutritional therapies can be applied at this stage including nutritional rehabilitation, biochemical restoration, equine therapy, art therapy, yoga, exercise and a raft of local and international techniques.

 

Admissions Process for Thailand Rehabs

 

There are many different pathways into rehab in Thailand and we still believe that reaching out to rehabs and treatment centers directly is the best way.

 

You may be referred by your medical specialist or interventionist, but it pays to ask whether that physician or referrer will receive a commission for your admission. Be sure not to accept the first recommendation for a Rehab Facility in Thailand and check our full list of handpicked and expertly vetted facilities in Thailand.

 

From making the initial inquiry to a Thailand Rehab our featured treatment centers will work with you to understand the nature of the clients condition and to assess whether their facility or treatment models are best suited to the individual needs and requirements. Often, a client will be based out of State or indeed internationally and the rehab team will work closely alongside other medical and sober transport agencies to ensure a safe and secure transport pathway to admission. If you are traveling to Thailand you will also need to ensure you have the right Thailand Visa for your stay.

Outpatient Rehabs Options in Thailand

 

Outpatient treatment varies in length, depending on the specific needs of the patient and might require 13-26 hours of treatment participation per week and can last from 3 to 12 months. Outpatient treatment in Thailand can be successful, of that there is no doubt. Though many patients need to draw upon huge reserves of self-motivation and self-discipline to fully recover. And during active addiction such reserves have generally been exhausted through the very cycle of addiction that leads a patient or their loved ones to consider rehab in Thailand as the only option.

 

Dual Diagnosis in Thailand

 

Dual diagnosis: In Thailand, the term dual diagnosis refers to psychiatric disorder and addictive behaviour. Dual diagnosis allows the treatment of co-occurring mental health issues alongside other individualized treatment methods.

 

Biochemical Restoration in Thailand

 

Rehabs in Thailand have embraced the importance of biochemical restoration over the past decade, in line with the general evolution of this dynamic approach to addiction treatment globally. Biochemical restoration in Thailand analyses and treats the biochemical imbalances in the body that make a person more prone to addiction. Lab testing and blood work to identifies biochemical imbalances such as hormone levels, neurotransmitters, amino acids and nutrient deficiencies while checking for the presence of heavy metals and toxicities.

 

Nutritional rehabilitation in Thailand

 

Comparing the symptoms of nutritional deficiencies that were formed during addiction assists nutritional experts to identify which exact biochemical imbalances are triggering the addictive state, and to begin to restore the biochemistry of the body, over the course of treatment. Proper nutrition can often be the last piece of the puzzle that can make biochemical restoration successful for sobriety.

 

Secondary Rehabs in Thailand

 

Secondary care rehabs cement the life skills required for recovery over a far longer period than would traditionally be feasible in a primary care facility. These extended exposure and life skills geared programs enables clients to operate their day to day lives and remain in a constructive system over a long period of time, which is universally the key to a sustained recovery.
