About Us

What makes Jintara different from other addiction treatment centers in Thailand?

Most rehabs try to cater to everyone, which often means less effective care. Jintara is different. We focus exclusively on adults, with small groups of just 10 clients, while running an experienced support, medical and clinical team of more than 32 specialized staff members.

Program Overview

What You’ll Experience at Our Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Thailand

Jintara provides results-focused care in a calm setting where individuals learn practical skills that fit everyday life. Whether alcohol addiction or drug addiction has disrupted your routines, your way forward will be clear and steady.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one therapy sessions give you space to address patterns, triggers, relationships, and practical plans for the next stage of your life. These sessions are great for treating addiction, and co-occurring mental health issues and give you space to slow down and go deep into areas of your life.

Group Sessions

These short, practical sessions focus on cognitive restructuring, managing urges, low-mood loops, anxiety spikes, sleep hygiene, boundary setting, and building healthy routines. Worksheets and brief assignments help you apply skills in real time.

Psychoeducation

Clear mental health modules make withdrawal symptoms understandable so you know what to expect. Examples include withdrawal timelines, medication literacy, sleep science, nutrition basics in early recovery, relapse prevention and how to talk with family about boundaries.

Physical Health & Fitness

Gentle movement supports your sleep and mood and is adjusted to medical status and physical ability. These sessions back up your physical health and your focus in therapy.

Excursions

Supervised outings let you practice simple boundaries in real settings with clear start and finish times. Staff choose low-stress locations and debrief on return so you can consolidate skills like ordering a meal, managing cues, and travelling safely.

Aftercare

Before you fly home, we finalize a personalized plan you can follow from day one. It includes a relapse prevention map, a medication summary, local therapy referrals, and a first 30-day schedule.

I’d go as far to say that Jintara saved my life. I have to credit the amazing staff at Jintara — from the support team and nurses, to the therapists, fitness staff, massage lady, Chefs, housekeepers and even the gardener. It was a remarkable experience, far beyond what I expected.

While that might sound inclusive, in reality it’s messy for clients and doesn’t lead to deep transformation. Jintara keeps it simple with small groups and calm paced, with the goal of living a fulfilling life after treatment.

How Does Our Alcohol Rehab in Thailand Support Your Recovery?

Alcohol addiction affects sleep, mood, cognition, as well as your physical and mental health. We focus on sleep, mood, and safety first.

  • On-site detox with continuous nursing and psychiatrist oversight
  • Full medical checkup at Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai
  • Individual therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy groups, and EMDR when indicated

If alcohol addiction has been a long-standing issue for you, we pace diagnostics and medication carefully. This approach works well within a small treatment centre rather than large alcohol rehabs.

  • Vetted and proven approach to recovery.
