Mental health retreat in Thailand

If you’re struggling with a mental health problem, and have found yourself drinking or using drugs to cope with it, you might be feeling like there’s no way out. Fortunately, professional help is available. Our mental health retreat offers low-cost, high-quality mental health care to treat both your mental health issues and the related substance abuse problems.

Many people develop substance dependencies as a way to self-medicate underlying mental health problems such as anxiety or depression. Moreover, mental health issues can exacerbate the problems of substance abuse, eventually leading to full-blown addiction. If left untreated, mental health disorders can be extremely dangerous and even life threatening.

Choosing from a range of mental health retreat centres can be a challenge as prices for the best private programmes can be difficult for many to afford. Public programmes, on the other hand, have long waiting lists and patients are often treated in hospitals or psychiatric wards. This can cause people to be reluctant to seek help. An excellent alternative is to join a mental health retreat in Thailand.

From our well-equipped treatment facility just outside of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, Hesten Hill Rehab offers world-class treatment for mental health issues and related substance abuse. Our mental health retreat programme offers the highest quality care at affordable prices.

Even after you take travel expenses into consideration, our programme is still much less expensive than its western counterparts. Moreover, our secluded location surrounded by nature provides you with a peaceful and idyllic setting for the start of your recovery journey.

What is a mental health retreat?

A mental health retreat is a specialised residential programme that is designed to treat a wide range of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, personality disorders as well as any related drug or alcohol addiction.

These programmes are often held in private and secluded environments that allow clients to step away from everyday triggers and focus all their energy on recovery – hence the name “retreat”.

Enrolling in one will allow you to receive an assortment of therapy and treatments, while learning to control your emotions, thoughts and actions.

Drug dependence is a common problem faced by millions of people worldwide, and can be extremely challenging to overcome. Drug addiction can have disastrous consequences for the users, including myriad health problems and strains on their interpersonal relationships.

The link between substance addiction and mental health issues

Substance addiction and mental health issues often co-occur, leading to a cycle where the disorders are constantly compounding each other. Many people with mental health disorders often feel the need to consume alcohol or drugs to suppress symptoms of depression or anxiety, exhibiting abnormal behaviour, mania or mood swings.

Signs and symptoms of mental health and substance abuse include:

As each person is different, potential dual diagnosis combinations are quite extensive. Because of this, each of our clients will receive a comprehensive and personalised treatment plan.

At the start of our treatment programme, you will be assessed for a dual diagnosis treatment by our onsite doctor. Our psychiatrist will then give you an additional mental health assessment.

We want to know everything about your mental and physical state of health, as well as your substance use history and any outside elements that might be affecting your current condition.
