About the clinic

Substance rehabilitation at One Step Rehab Thailand in Chiang Mai provides residential addiction treatment starting at around $8,500 for a 28-day program. This JCI-accredited facility is licensed by the Thai Ministry of Public Health and offers a 1:1 clinical staff-to-client ratio to support long-term recovery.

Personalized Clinical Care

The center operates as a boutique facility with only 14 beds. This small setting allows for individualized attention from a highly qualified medical team. Dr. Worapakthorn Kongpesalaphun, a consultant psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience, specializes in addiction psychiatry and community mental health. The clinical team also includes Dr. Naranchaya Sriburapar, a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience who holds a PhD in Neuropsychology. She is trained in specialized methods like EMDR and art therapy.

The Recovery Zones Program

The facility uses the proprietary Recovery Zones system to treat addiction. This method combines several therapeutic approaches to help patients understand and manage their triggers. The program includes several evidence-based therapies:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change negative thought patterns
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma
  • Motivational Enhancement Therapy to build the will to change
  • Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) to help the body process stress

Holistic Recovery and Fitness

Physical health is a central part of the recovery process at One Step Rehab. Patients follow a structured daily schedule from 7am to 9pm. This routine includes dopamine-smart nutrition planning to help brain chemistry balance naturally. Physical activities include Muay Thai training with licensed coaches, yoga, and swimming. The facility features a gym, tennis court, and bicycles for patient use. Weekly excursions around Chiang Mai and therapeutic Thai massages are also included to promote well-being.

Program Costs and Inclusions

The treatment is structured into monthly blocks, with the price decreasing for longer stays. A 28-day residential program typically runs around $8,500 for the first month. The second month may cost around $7,500, and the third month is around $6,500. These prices include a private en-suite room, all meals, and laundry services. Patients also receive 12 months of free online aftercare through weekly group sessions. Medically supervised detox is available on-site for mild cases, while severe withdrawal is managed at a partner hospital nearby.

One Step Rehab Thailand: more details about the clinic

Thailand, Chiang Mai
One Step Rehab Thailand is a private, owner-operated residential addiction treatment center. It is located in the Mae Rim District near Chiang Mai. Alastair Mordey founded the facility in 2013. It offers 14 beds for personalized recovery. The clinic is licensed by the Thai Ministry of Public Health.

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.
