Hello everyone (my stay at the island) I'm in my mid-thirties, I was caught up in a lot of continuous traumas that caused behavior problems and increased use of alcohol and tranquilizers. I looked for several places before coming, it just didn't flow, in the end before a little despair, I get their phone number. Makes contact... and from that moment begins and feels a real healing process despite all the difficulties and the heavy burden I came with. Both due to the great patience of the very professional and diverse team that included senior experts in a variety of fields who accompany you and put you at the center of things. The location is quiet and amazing, the view is spectacular, there really are no words to describe the sunrises/sunsets :) daily room cleaning, really delicious and varied food 3 times a day, always healthy dishes worth it. In addition to the professionalism, you feel the compassion and concern of the treating staff with the available clinic and the senior consultants , the nursing, the yoga and mindfulness teaching 🙏🏽 the group sessions, the one on one therapist, and the rest of this lovely work crews. weekend activities ;) You can say that I left there a different person, with more understanding of my situation physically mentally and emotionally! with a lot of lesson! that i learned in this magical hidden gem, back to real life :) and the journey is still at the beginning, one of the wisest decisions I made for myself, thank you every

Antithesis of my prior AA experiences going back to 1991. I hope to have learned a whole new set of skills to add to my sobriety toolbox. I am not turning away from AA which has given me +/- 14 years of sobriety but always relapses and each is worse. Want to combine old and new concepts to my programme. No complaints ex could not get help with mission-critical IT problems (not the reason I was there of course). Thought very highly of the entire staff from management to counsel to medical to support to kitchen - all. Jordon, Joleen, Lek, Kevin, Natty, Gift, Jina, Pie, View, Ben, Christina. Liked my fellow clients very much. Very impressed with the variety of the course materials and diverse acctivities with special focus on robust physical experiences and a world of trainings like focus movements, etc that I had never heard of. Facilities A+, appreciate that spirituality was a priority, wonderful and valuable experrience. Sad that I had to leave.

My excellent experience at Phuket Island Rehab started at admission when Kevin’s 100% attention to my issue had resulted in nothing else but to make me travel so far away from home to Thailand for treatment. When I first realized the atmosphere, the location and the 5star accommodation I was receiving especially with the absolute most incredible sunrises every morning my spiritual well being already had a jumpstart. The cleaning of the facility is non stop including daily laundry service. Clients nutritious home cooked meal 3 times a day for physical well being as well as nonstop access to gym and pool to contribute to fitness. It was very important for me to get physically well in order to better my mind and spirit and the staff at PIR is a great supportive team in that aspect. The group sessions are very educational regarding our addiction but in re-training our mind on HOW to stay sober was essential to me as I now understand Cognitive Behavior Therapy which is a life changer. Then adding Yoga and Meditation to my daily routines is an other boost of mindfulness and a balanced lifestyle physically, mentally and spiritually. It is a very necessary intense treatment which is fulfilling with the fun and exotic weekend excursions. Not to mention the relaxing spa treatment I had received on Saturdays. Absolutely fantastic experience from Win,John,Gift,Lek,Nutee,Alex and all kitchen/housekeeping staff! I feel fantastic and it was the best experience in Thailand! Thank You!

Phuket island Rehab provided an avenue of escape from my addiction. Great counselling and physical activity. The relaxed atmosphere, together with the planned counselling provided me with a balanced approach. The physical activity, whether yoga,gym or other exercise left me feeling more alive and wanting to be active in my home life. Great value for money, excellent counselling and outstanding attention to physical needs. Inward reflection was also considered. In general, physical, mental and spiritual needs were well taken care of for me.

Combination of Western and Eastern Therapies that offered one to one care. I was undergoing some major transitions in my life: approaching fatherhood, a new career and the big milestone of 40 years old. All in all a lot and I felt overwhelmed. I was drinking too much and knew I needed help. Phuket Retreat helped me immeasurably to process my emotional issues, mindfulness as well as my physical health. I can't thank the staff enough for their professionalism, compassion and expertise. Anyone looking to focus on their mind, body and spirit I can thoroughly recommend.
