28 Day Recovery Program Chiang Mai

28 Day Recovery Program Chiang Mai, Thailand

Who is this package for?

  • Persons in recovery looking for a body, mind and/or spirit transformational experience
  • Persons who have recently left primary or secondary treatment for addiction or trauma issues.
  • Persons with more than 60 days without the use of any mind-altering substance

Please note: This is not a treatment center package. You MUST be clean for at least 60 days before being able to attend this program. If you or your loved one are still in active using, then you will not be able to join this program.


Chiang Mai has a strong and thriving recovery community with a large number of fellowships and support groups that meet on a regular basis. Because of this, the city is known as a popular destination for people in early recovery. Many people decide to stay in Chiang Mai for a period of time after completing a program in one of the many treatment centres within Thailand.

You may leave treatment feeling lost or uncertain about the ability to abstain back at home. You may have spent some time in a secondary facility but still feel unsure about how you will go on your own. With the right support, staying in Chiang Mai longer offers you the opportunity to build up some “clean time” whilst exploring ways to follow your heart and create or deepen your spiritual practice. Even if you have been clean for a while, you may still be missing this inner connection that ultimately is recovery.

With years in recovery we have designed this program to share our experiences and give you the next best step forward when you come out of treatment. The program gives you support from other addicts in recovery and people who understand where you are at and what you are going through.


What is included in the Recovery Program?

  • Accommodation in your own apartment, approximately 250 metres from Chiang Mai Holistic, in the popular Nimmanhaemin area
  • Weekly consultations with a qualified nutritionist, a psychotherapist, a recovery and life coach, and a personal trainer. Depending on your needs we may also arrange other sessions, for example an EMDR therapist to help with trauma, a hypnotherapist to help form healthy habits, and a career counselor to help work through next steps after Chiang Mai
  • Once or twice daily one-on-one holistic therapy sessions, including massage, personal training, chi nei tsang, reiki, sound therapy, Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), Acupuncture, Qi Gong, Energy work
  • Unlimited access to CMH classes that include functional training, beginners, flow and restorative yoga, meditation and twice weekly sound baths

Chiang Mai Holistic Recovery Program

We have worked with clients from all over the world who have suffered from trauma, addictions, gambling, self-harm, stress and anxiety disorders, work addiction, life crisis and an inner sense of lostness. Contact us online or come see us if you have any questions or would like to discuss if this package is a good fit for you.


The Process - What does your first day look like?

1. Pick up from Airport and check - in to your accommodation - if you are not currently in Chiang Mai we will arrange a pick up and transfer for you from the airport to your Chiang Mai condo. We will also give you a short orientation tour of the Nimman area for essentials including groceries, and where to eat healthy and affordably
2. Welcome drink and tour at Chiang Mai Holistic - we will walk with you from your condo to CMH, pick up a juice or shake from the cafe downstairs and show you around the centre.
3. Holistic assessment to determine Week 1 Program - we will ask you to complete a short questionnaire and discuss the responses with you to help us determine what services you might need. There are many paths to recovery, so we will check point with you every week to tailor your program according to your needs and situation. At times we may ask you to try things you haven’t tried before! If these don’t work out we will change them the next month
4. Nutritionist assessment - Our nutritionist will ask you some questions, take your measurements and complete an assessment. They will then design a food plan including hints on where to eat in Chiang Mai. Your plan will be tracked on a weekly basis

Depending on 3, 4 & 5 we will then determine the best fitness options for you, such as yoga, functional training, one-on-one, and outdoor activities such as running, cycling and swimming
6. Discuss/set schedule for Week 1 - we will then take you through the schedule for your first week. We will checkpoint each week to see what worked and what didn’t, and make any changes for the next week

  • Week days - at least 2 one-on-one consultations or sessions at CMH. Each week you will have at least one session with your therapist, recovery coach, personal trainer and nutritionist

What is Different from this package compared to others?

Generally after leaving rehab or a sober house you would go back to your home country to work on what’s next, or you would be left to travel and settle into your next destination on your own. The Recovery Program is a next step option that will help you deepen your recovery, live on your own whilst still receiving limited support within close proximity of primary care. A number of our teachers and community members are in recovery and work with treatment centres, and can help support you through this next phase.

For us we call our 28-day packages the "Urban retreat", being in the city, learning how to live your recovery in an environment that is more city-like. You will spend your time in the beautiful city of Chiang Mai, located in the northern region of Thailand. Chiang Mai is a fantastic city with lots to offer anyone particularly people in recovery.

We will provide some of the best teachers to help guide, support and create a plan for you. Not only while you are here for the 28 days, but also for when you return home. There is no point going through recovery in Thailand, getting well, learning all these new things, then going back to your home country, forgetting it and returning to old habits. This is a new way of living; this is your new lifestyle and your recovery. You are going to be able to take what you have learned here and apply it to the rest of your life.
