Accreditations and Clinical Standards
The facility holds JCI accreditation, meeting international healthcare quality standards. It avoids large-scale "production line" care. Founders work directly on-site to oversee every resident's progress. The clinic combines medical stabilization with evidence-based psychotherapy and structured daily routines.
Addiction Treatment and Recovery Programs
One Step Rehab treats various substance use disorders. These include addictions to alcohol, cocaine, opioids, methamphetamine, and benzodiazepines. The clinical team addresses polysubstance use through an integrated approach.
The core program uses Recovery Zones, a structured system targeting compulsive behaviors. Specialists apply several evidence-based methods:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- EMDR for trauma processing
- Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)
- Family systems work
Residential stays require a minimum of 28 days. Many residents extend to 60 or 90 days. This gives psychological patterns and withdrawal symptoms time to stabilize. The first month focuses on detox and stabilization. Later stages emphasize habit rehearsal and long-term sobriety planning.
Psychiatrists provide dual diagnosis care for co-occurring mental health conditions. Dr. Worapakthorn Kongpesalaphun leads medication management. He has 20 years of experience and trained at the Somdet Chaopraya Institute of Psychiatry. Dr. Naranchaya Sriburapar, a Clinical Psychologist, provides structured assessments for ADHD and PTSD.
Physical Rehabilitation and Wellness
Recovery includes physical restoration and lifestyle stabilization. The clinic has an on-site training center with a full-size Muay Thai ring. Licensed trainers lead sessions focused on conditioning and body awareness. These activities help restore endorphin levels naturally during recovery.
Other supportive therapies include:
- Mindfulness and breathwork
- Trauma release exercises (TRE)
- Sleep optimization and circadian stabilization
- Nutritional supplementation and planning
- Outdoor therapy including hiking
These methods complement clinical therapy to address addiction's physical impact.
Services for International Patients
One Step Rehab supports families living overseas. The counseling team conducts joint family sessions via video calls. These workshops focus on setting boundaries and supporting recovery from a distance. The clinic performs confidential pre-arrival assessments to determine medical eligibility for on-site detox.
Support services for travelers include:
- Free initial clinical review
- Airport pickup and arrival support
- Laundry services for residents
- Private air-conditioned rooms with en-suite bathrooms
Long-term recovery is supported by 12 months of free online aftercare. This includes weekly Saturday group sessions and alumni community access. Aftercare planning begins in the second week of treatment. Counselors help residents map triggers and arrange support in their home communities.
