About the clinic

The 12 Step Programme at SafeHouse Rehab Thailand in Ban Bueng is a structured recovery path based on Alcoholics Anonymous principles. This treatment helps individuals manage substance and process addictions through a proven spiritual and practical framework. SafeHouse is licensed by the Ministry of Public Health Thailand and partners with the JCI-accredited Aikchol Hospital for medical safety.

The 12 Step Methodology

This program originated in 1939 and has since been adapted for various types of addiction. Patients typically work through the first three to five steps during their primary treatment phase. The curriculum helps participants acknowledge their situation and build a foundation for long-term change. Recovery involves both personal reflection and group support to build accountability.

Integrated Therapy Approach

SafeHouse does not use the 12 steps in isolation. The clinic combines this traditional method with modern, evidence-based therapies. These include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change harmful thought patterns.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for psychological flexibility.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to improve emotional regulation.
  • Mindfulness practices to stay grounded during the recovery process.

Group Support and Fellowship

Small group sessions help make sure every patient receives enough attention. These groups usually consist of only five or six clients per facilitator. This intimate setting allows for deeper discussion and more personalized guidance. Patients also attend at least two AA or NA meetings every week. These meetings connect them with the global fellowship of people in recovery.

Stages of Care and Support

The treatment follows a four-stage process including primary care, tailored therapy, and sober living. Support continues after a patient leaves the facility through the WeCare aftercare program. This service provides 24/7 remote counseling to help maintain sobriety in the real world. This continuous support helps bridge the gap between rehab and daily life.

SafeHouse Rehab Thailand: more details about the clinic

Thailand, Chiang Rai
SafeHouse Rehab Thailand is a specialized rehabilitation center in Prachuap Khiri Khan. The facility focuses on structured recovery for alcohol and drug addiction in a private, small-scale setting. Established in 1978, the center limits intake to 12 clients at any time. This ensures personalized attention throughout treatment.

Accreditations and Professional Oversight

The facility is licensed by the Ministry of Public Health Thailand. Medical safety and clinical standards are maintained through a formal partnership with Aikchol Hospital. This partner facility is JCI-accredited and holds Hospital Accreditation (HA). All client detoxifications and initial medical screenings happen through this accredited hospital network.

Addiction Treatment Programs

SafeHouse Rehab treats alcohol and substance dependencies using a staged care model. The program includes several evidence-based psychotherapy methods:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Existential Humanistic Approaches

Therapy combines small group sessions with private one-on-one counseling. Group sessions are limited to 5–6 clients per facilitator. This improves participation and allows deeper engagement. Each client receives at least one full hour of individual counseling every two days.

Psychiatry and detox direction is led by Dr. Songit Udomsin, who trained at Chulalongkorn University. He specializes in dual diagnosis care. The center also treats process addictions, including gambling addiction and food or sex dependencies. Warren Holland, with over 20 years of experience, supports the clinical team. For those needing pharmacological assistance, the clinic offers Naltrexone implant options for relapse prevention.

Recovery is supported by a private environment with 5-star en-suite rooms. Each room is fully furnished and includes private patio space for individual counseling sessions.
