Benzodiazepine addiction Treatment in The Beekeeper House
About the clinic
Benzodiazepine addiction treatment at The Beekeeper House in Chiang Mai, Thailand, combines clinical psychology with Eastern philosophy. The facility holds AACI Gold accreditation and is an approved provider for the US Department of Veterans Affairs. This program focuses on both physical withdrawal and the psychological causes of dependence to help patients achieve long-term recovery.
The recovery process begins with a medically supervised detox. The medical director creates a personalized plan for every patient. This step manages benzodiazepine withdrawal safely under professional care. The clinic maintains a partnership with Bangkok Hospital to support medical needs during this phase.
Residential treatment program
The program requires a minimum residential stay of 35 days. This duration allows enough time for the brain and body to stabilize. The facility uses an integrative approach to treat the mind, body, and spirit. Patients participate in a busy weekly schedule designed for deep healing.
- Individual psychology sessions. Two 90-minute private sessions occur every week.
- Group therapy sessions. Patients attend seven group sessions each week to build community support.
- Evidence-based therapies. Programs include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
- Trauma-informed care. Specialists use EMDR, Somatic therapy, and Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE).
- Holistic wellness. Daily activities include mindfulness, yoga, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Advanced recovery tools
The clinic uses modern technology to help the brain heal from substance use. Patients have access to Dynamical Neurofeedback™ therapy to improve brain function. Virtual Reality (VR) therapy is also available as part of the clinical toolkit. These methods help regulate the nervous system after prolonged benzodiazepine use.
Recovery continues after the residential stay through the My Beekeeper app. This platform provides ongoing clinical support and connection to the care team. This aftercare helps patients transition back to daily life while maintaining their sobriety goals. You can request a consultation to learn more about the enrollment process at this facility through the Bookimed website.
