Mini Series 4 - What's included in a treatment program?

Busting Addiction and Its Myths

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:

1. Best-practice therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Group therapy, one-on-one therapy, etc.
2. 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.
3. Licensed treatment counsellors who have earned qualifications and degrees in addictive disease, and licensed clinicians on staff or on call.
4. Comfortable, modern private accommodation, healthy balanced meals, fitness facilities, and weekend excursions. Additional features could include meditation, art therapy, and massage therapy.
5. 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.
