About The Dawn Rehab
The Dawn Wellness Centre and Rehab Thailand is one of Asia’s leading wellness treatment centres, set within a peaceful riverside sanctuary. The Dawn is currently the only residential treatment centre in Asia with international accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
Progressive Treatment Methods
The Dawn offers comprehensive treatment programmes for substance abuse and mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, using their innovative treatment roadmap, which ensures a holistic and personalised approach to recovery.
Treatment at The Dawn integrates a variety of evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). Additionally, their wellness therapies incorporate activities such as yoga, meditation, massage therapy, and physical exercise, addressing both the psychological and physical aspects of addiction and mental health disorders. Their comprehensive approach provides clients with the tools needed for sustainable recovery and overall well-being.
Holistic, Trauma-Incorporating Approach
The Dawn’s holistic treatment approach addresses all factors contributing to clients’ current struggles, including underlying issues, past experiences, relationships, living environment, and their family dynamics. The Dawn specialises in treating unresolved trauma, an issue often underpinning addiction and mental illness.
A Boutique Rehab Where Big Changes Occur
The Dawn offers a warm, welcoming environment. Their staff are highly attuned to the individual needs of each client, looking not only at the issue that brings them to The Dawn, but who they are and their life as a whole. The Dawn’s multidisciplinary team of Western-trained therapists is fully versed in the most current treatment techniques, and with a low client-to-staff ratio, they’re able to focus their full attention on what works best for each client. A 24-hour on-site nursing team supports clients during detox and their residential care, ensuring safety and comfort.
The Dawn’s Life-Changing Mental Health Retreat in Thailand
The Dawn has a dedicated mental health program that is separate from their addiction program, for those struggling with mental health issues not related to addiction. For co-occurring disorders, The Dawn can move clients seamlessly between the two programs. They also offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy for medication-resistant conditions, an FDA approved technology.
The Dawn offers an Addiction Relapse Warranty policy. It ensures that anyone who completes 12 weeks of treatment for drug or alcohol addiction can come back for an additional 28 days of residential treatment, at no additional cost, if they relapse within one year.
