In this podcast, we answer the question... What's included in a treatment program?
We will use SafeHouse Rehab Thailand as a model, as the better treatment programs include:
- Best-practice therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Group therapy, one-on-one therapy, etc.
- Full licensing from the government entities charged with enforcing regulations. SafeHouse Rehab, for example, is fully licensed by the Ministry of Public Health of the Kingdom of Thailand.
- Licensed treatment counsellors who have earned qualifications and degrees in addictive disease, and licensed clinicians on staff or on call.
- Comfortable, modern private accommodation, healthy balanced meals, fitness facilities, and weekend excursions. Additional features could include meditation, art therapy, and massage therapy.
- Aftercare programs that give clients the tools and support they need to begin a lifetime journey of clean and sober living.
Successful treatment programs provide a recovery experience for the mind, the spirit, and the body. All three dimensions must be addressed given the need to heal the person in a holistic manner.
