Talking about money often comes after months or years of trying to hold things together. By the time people reach this page they are usually tired, scared of making another wrong move, and trying to work out if real help is even possible. On this page you will find:
- What a 30-day stay at Jintara costs
- What is included in the fee and what is not
- How Jintara compares with other rehabs in Thailand
- How deposits, refunds, and payment methods work
If any part of this feels confusing or overwhelming, you can take it one step at a time with a straightforward call instead of trying to decode it alone.

How Much Does Rehab in Thailand Cost?
We understand that cost is more than a number on a page. It is months of pay, savings, or superannuation, and it has to turn into care that genuinely changes the direction of your life. At Jintara the cost of rehab in Thailand is kept simple and predictable, so you can see exactly what you are committing to:
- Jintara's standard program is 12,500 USD for 30 days in a private villa suite with a separate bedroom, lounge, kitchenette and large shower
- Most people stay between four and eight weeks, depending on risk, history, and how they respond
- Fees are always in 30-day blocks so you are never paying far in advance of what you can actually use
If you need help working out what a realistic length of stay might be, speak with our team to map cost, risk, and timing together.

Is Jintara an Affordable Option Compared to Other Thai Rehabs?
For people exploring rehab abroad from Australia, the UK, or the US, Jintara is one of very few facilities in Asia with fully transparent public pricing. Looking at Thai rehabs side by side can be confusing, and websites rarely explain what drives the difference. Under the surface there are very different models.
- Budget rehabs in Thailand charge around $5,000 USD a month by running bigger groups and lighter staffing with very basic facilities
- Luxury rehab brands run between $17,000 to $20,000 USD a month, with a lot of spend going to large marketing cost and their investment partners
- Our focus is on adult-only groups, high nurse and therapist ratios, and strong hospital links rather than repaying investment groups
- Medical care includes arrival screening, a detox plan set by an addiction psychiatrist when needed, nursing on-site day and night, and a detailed hospital checkup at Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai included in your fees.
At $12,500 USD for 30 days, Jintara is one of the most affordable options for medically supervised private rehab available to clients from Australia, the UK, and the US. That price point reflects a decision to spend the budget on clinical staff and hospital partnerships rather than large marketing operations.

What Does the $12,500 USD Cover at Jintara?
The fear for many people is that they will send a large payment, arrive tired and frightened, and then be nickeled and dimed for basics. Jintara is set up to avoid that.
- Everyday living is covered, including a private suite, daily housekeeping, laundry, all meals and snacks, airport pick up, and local medical transfers
- Medical care includes arrival screening, a detox plan set by an addiction psychiatrist when needed, nursing on-site day and night, and a detailed hospital checkup at Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai included in your fees.
- Therapy includes individual sessions with master's level clinicians, small adult groups built around CBT and related approaches, and access to trauma-focused work such as EMDR when it is safe
- Movement, mindfulness, Muay Thai or fitness, and supervised outings sit inside the core fee, along with at least one individual online follow up session and access to group aftercare
The Medical And Clinical Value Behind The Price
If you have already tried to stop alone or in poorly supported settings, you know detox is the part you cannot afford to gamble on. Jintara's price is built around that reality.
- On arrival you are assessed by an experienced addiction psychiatrist who sets a detox and medication plan around your substances, doses, and health history
- Detox usually runs on site, with nurses awake through the night, close monitoring of vitals, and a clear pathway to hospital or ICU if risk changes
- A full day two check at our partner hospital in Chiang Mai includes detailed blood work, liver and kidney tests, a chest X ray, and heart studies so the team is not guessing about your physical state.
- Jintara holds a Ministry of Public Health licence and is audited by MoPH, immigration, partner hospitals, universities, and the United States Embassy, with standards focused on records and safety rather than decor
The question is not only what the room looks like, but how closely your body and mind are watched in the days when everything feels most unstable.

How Do People Pay For Rehab in Thailand?
Behind every invoice there is a story: savings that took decades, a business that still needs cash flow, a partner or parent who is scared of being left carrying debt. The payment routes we use most often reflect that.
- Many people use international bank transfer through services like Wise to keep fees low and exchange rates fair
- Some prefer credit or debit card payment via Stripe, so they can use existing limits and card protections
- Others bring cash in Thai baht by prior agreement, sometimes with a small discount because it avoids card fees
- Jintara does not currently accept cryptocurrency or direct insurance billing, and instead provides detailed receipts so you can claim back from your own insurer if your policy allows it
Most clients find that $50 to $100 USD per week in personal spending money is plenty once they are on site.

What If The Numbers Still Feel Heavy?
It is common to read a price like 12,500 USD and feel a mix of panic, guilt, and relief that there is at least an affordable and concrete option. You may already have spent large amounts on holding things together or on past attempts that did not stick.
- Many people who call are juggling mortgages, school fees, elderly parents, or staff and clients who rely on them
- Some carry shame about asking family, partners, or employers for help again after previous relapses
- Others are trying to weigh the cost of treatment against the cost of doing nothing for another year
- Almost all feel a strong urge to sort money out alone in their head before speaking to anyone, which often keeps them stuck
A short, honest conversation can cut through a lot of that noise and bring the decision back to safety, fit, and timing rather than fear.

Pricing FAQ
Common Questions About the Cost of Rehab in Thailand
Below you'll find the main questions our Admissions team are asked about treatment costs at Jintara, what your fee actually covers, and how payments work before, during, and after your stay in Thailand.
The fee reflects the fact that you are not just buying a quiet room and some groups, you are paying for on site medical detox, a full Bangkok Hospital workup, and twenty four hour awake nursing in a small adult setting. Jintara runs with about ten clients and roughly thirty two staff, including master's level therapists and nurses who have worked in major hospitals, so each person is watched and adjusted closely rather than folded into a large crowd.
The 12,500 USD covers your room, food, diagnostics, detox oversight, therapy, movement program, weekend outings, and structured aftercare, so there are no surprises once you arrive. Whether your concern is drug use, alcohol, or both, the same clinical infrastructure applies and nothing is removed to cut costs.
Most people on this page are still arguing with themselves that others have it worse, while watching their own drinking or drug use quietly wreck work, relationships, or health. A stay at Jintara becomes worth the cost when you see that the alternative is another year of damage, emergency decisions, and half measures that do not hold.
If substances are dictating your days, your sleep is broken, or people close to you are worried, your problem is already expensive in time, money, and trust. Investing in a focused block of medically supported treatment is about changing that direction rather than waiting until things collapse completely.
The program fee is designed so you can stop scanning for hidden charges and focus on recovery. It includes your private ensuite room, housekeeping, laundry, all meals, airport pick up in Chiang Mai, and local medical transfers. Clinically it covers arrival screening, psychiatrist led detox planning where needed, twenty four hour awake nursing, a full day two hospital checkup with bloods, liver and kidney function, chest X ray and EKG, individual therapy, small adult groups, fitness and Muay Thai sessions, mindfulness, supervised outings, and an initial run of aftercare contact.
You pay separately for flights, visas, prescription medication, any extra off site medical or dental treatment, and personal spending money such as cigarettes, coffee, or gifts. The clinical work includes access to trauma focused modalities when the team assesses you are ready, so specialist support is built into the fee rather than billed as an add on.
Price differences usually come down to scale, staffing, and where the money is spent. Lower priced centres often run bigger groups with fewer nurses and therapists per client, limited diagnostics, and less access to hospital care for complex detox, which keeps their monthly rate down.
High priced brands can charge two or three times Jintara's fee because they operate large properties and heavy international marketing teams that all need to be funded. Jintara sits in the middle by choice, keeping numbers at about ten adults and using the budget for nursing, therapy time, and hospital partnerships rather than sales offices or luxury add ons that do not change clinical outcomes. Many clients arrive with both substance use and underlying dual diagnosis conditions, and the staff ratio ensures both are addressed properly.
Nobody wants to feel trapped by an invoice while their head is still clearing. At Jintara you pay in clear 30-day blocks, and that block is normally non refundable once you are in it, because the team has held that room and staffing for you instead of offering it to someone else. If you choose to leave early or are discharged for serious rule breaches, that period is usually paid in full.
In rare cases where a new medical issue makes it unsafe or inappropriate to continue, Darren can look at the situation with you and the hospital team and may offer a partial goodwill refund or credit, but the starting assumption is that each 30-day block stands on its own.
Behind nearly every admission there is a mix of fear and relief around money, because you are balancing treatment against mortgages, school fees, staff, or aging parents. Many people use savings or a combination of their own funds and family help once there is a clear start date and plan.
Australians sometimes access superannuation early and then pay Jintara from those released funds. Others use a mix of bank transfer and card payment to spread the load and keep paperwork clean for accountants or insurers. The aim is always to create a plan that feels weighty but possible, not to push you into a level of debt that simply becomes another crisis later.
It is common to feel that Jintara is exactly the kind of program you need and still not see how the figures add up without serious strain. In those cases the most useful step is an honest conversation rather than trying to solve it alone in your head. Darren will tell you if your current budget is unlikely to cover the length of stay you need, and sometimes the right answer is to delay and keep preparing rather than arrive underfunded and stressed.
In other situations a shorter initial stay with strong aftercare can be a realistic bridge. When Jintara Rehab is not viable, the team can still point you toward safer lower cost options so you are not left choosing from glossy websites with no clinical context.
