Admissions Process
Entering Treatment - The Most Important Decision You Will Make.
It All Starts with an Email or Call
To begin your treatment at Sahwan drug and alcohol rehab, simply email or call us to arrange an assessment call between yourself and our admissions team to discuss how we can help.
All communication with our team is completely confidential. We will need to know about your history with addiction, your personal details, and your availability for treatment. You will be provided information about our treatment programmes as well as be given addiction resources appropriate to you. If you have any questions regarding treatment and addiction, the clinical director or counsellors will answer them. This phone call is designed to provide you the information you need to make the right decision about your treatment and recovery.
Individual Assessment
Following our initial call together you will receive a second phone call from one of our counsellors to help us understand your personal, medical and substance abuse history. This conversation will take place with one of our counsellors and is completely confidential.
Travel Arrangements
Our staff will be happy to help you with your travel arrangements.
Visas
A stay of 30 days is achievable by obtaining a visa on arrival at your port of entry in Thailand. If you would like the flexibility to stay longer you will need to apply for a 2-month tourist visa (which is extendable to 3 months once in Thailand) in your home country prior to traveling.
Flights
The quickest route to Sahwan Rehab is through Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok. Bangkok is a major international hub for many airlines, so flight availability is good. Our staff can assist with flight bookings.

You will be picked up from Suvarnabhumi International Airport by our staff and driven the short distance to our Bangkok facility where initial assessments and detox (where necessary) will be conducted. Usually within a few days at most, you will be transferred to Sahwan Rehab form Bangkok, a one and a half hour drive.

Once You Arrive
You will be picked up from Suvarnabhumi International Airport by our staff and driven the short distance to our Bangkok facility where initial assessments and detox (where necessary) will be conducted.
