Gambling addiction Treatment in SafeHouse Rehab Thailand
About the clinic
Residential treatment for gambling addiction at SafeHouse Rehab Thailand in Prachuap Khiri Khan provides a private environment for recovery. The clinic is licensed by the Ministry of Public Health Thailand and partners with the JCI-accredited Aikchol Hospital for medical oversight. The facility limits its capacity to 12 clients to maintain small therapy groups of 5-6 people.
Diagnostics and assessment
Recovery begins with a thorough evaluation of the patient's physical and mental health. These steps help the medical team identify underlying issues that may drive addictive behaviors. Diagnostics include:
- Brief online assessment. This initial screening helps determine if the program fits the patient's needs.
- Hospital health check. A full physical exam with blood work is performed at the partner hospital.
- Psychiatric assessment. Dr. Songit Udomsin evaluates patients for dual diagnosis, such as anxiety or depression alongside addiction.
- Medical detoxification assessment. Specialists review medication needs if the patient requires pharmacological support.
Therapeutic treatment methods
The clinic treats gambling as a behavioral process addiction using an eclectic, evidence-based therapy model. Patients typically stay for 30 to 60 days. The program includes group therapy three times a day and at least one hour of one-to-one counseling every two days. Techniques used include:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This method helps patients identify and change the thought patterns leading to gambling.
- Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT). Counselors use these tools to help clients manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). This approach encourages patients to accept their thoughts while committing to healthy actions.
- Motivational interviewing. Therapists help patients find their own internal motivation to stop gambling.
- Naltrexone implant. This pharmacological option is available as an adjunct to therapy to help prevent relapse.
Specialist medical leadership
Dr. Songit Udomsin leads the medical and psychiatric care at the facility. As a psychiatrist and detox specialist, Dr. Songit Udomsin focuses on dual diagnosis, addiction, and psychosis. Dr. Songit Udomsin trained at Chulalongkorn University and Prince of Songkla University. Before joining this facility, Dr. Songit Udomsin spent 5 years at Aikchol Hospital managing complex addiction cases.
Recovery support and aftercare
The rehabilitation program includes wellness therapies such as Thai massage, acupuncture, meditation, and aromatherapy. These activities help reduce stress during the recovery process. After completing the residential stay, patients receive the WeCareTM aftercare plan. This service provides 24/7 remote audio and video counseling. The clinic also refers patients to 12-step meetings in their home towns to support long-term sobriety. To request a consultation for a tailored treatment plan, you may leave a request on Bookimed.
