East Meets West
Our drug and alcohol addiction detox treatment programme is like no other in the world. Here at bodhitree21 we put particular emphasis on herbal treatment and have breathed new life into traditional methods that have been used for centuries in Northern Thailand. The following information is to distinguish the difference between what the West generally considers to be a "drug and/or alcohol detox" and the type of herbal detox treatment you will be offered as a part of our programme.
Herbal Detox
At bodhitree21 you will be provided with a daily herbal detox which starts on day 1 and finishes on the day of your departure. This is essentially a 3 phase process (Phase 1: Cleanse, Phase 2: Purge, Phase 3: Balance) which includes the consumption of herbs, leaves, bark, seeds and roots in the form of hot and cold drinks, tablets and capsules.
Each detox is prescribed by a doctor licensed by the Thai government and you will be walked through each phase before partaking. There are no adverse side effects from taking the herbs which are specifically and individually prescribed, but the benefits are many.
Medically Assisted Detox
Addiction to specific types of drugs are highly likely to require a medically assisted detox, acute or sub-acute. These drugs include:
Guests with chronic or severe addiction to these substances will need to consult their own professional network. This may include a counsellor, doctor, general practitioner or mental health specialist, for specific advice prior to attending our programme. If you require a medically assisted detox you will need to undergo this process prior to your arrival, bodhitree21 do not facilitate these. A medically assisted detox usually takes place in a hospital or facility with specially trained nursing staff and doctors who provide round the clock care.
