Going to a drug and alcohol treatment center will be a very important step in your recovery journey. Addiction can take you to some very lonely and dark places. Addicts get so caught up in the vicious cycle of daily using that it seems impossible to escape the downward spiral that often leads to serious consequences.
Entering a rehab programme is called primary treatment and sober living homes are classed as secondary treatment for after rehab.
Rehabs are a safe place for you to start your recovery journey and for you to detox if needed. They will get you back on your feet so you can start to make healthier choices. You will be nurtured and cared for whilst you start to recover.
Many people travel to rehabs in Thailand because of the reasonable prices and the tropical climate. The Calm provides a sober living home in Thailand for people leaving primary treatment.
In a primary treatment center you will learn about recovery and be given lots of tools on how to succeed on your journey. You will not be able to leave the facility which gives you the safety and security away from any drugs or alcohol so you can start to heal.
Many people who leave treatment and go straight home after rehab are often under prepared and find it extremely difficult to cope with real life again.
Having to face life head on straight after a rehab programme can be way too much, too soon and this is where the benefits of a sober living home really come into effect.
We believe that a sober living programme is crucial in learning how to maintain long-term recovery. You will learn to deal with any triggers and stressful situations that may threaten your sobriety whilst being in a supportive environment.
Even if you have been in a rehab programme for 3 months its highly recommended that you go to sober living afterwards for as long as you can.
We are seeing how valuable this is as lots of people who come to us are not ready to go home yet. Rehab is the first step and in the sober house we are seeing how much more work needs to be done to maintain long-term sobriety.
Sober Living Facility in Thailand
There are some very notable differences when it comes to choosing a sober living facility especially in Thailand. First and foremost, you want to make sure that they employ experienced counsellors along with a license to operate. We are independent of any rehabs which means that our primary purpose is guiding you through this stage of the recovery process.
The programme needs to be a step down from rehab, so you can begin to gain some independence to start exploring your own choices and how you want to take your own recovery. Always make sure that the sober living home that you choose offers you more than one pathway to recover.
A true sober living programme will guide and support you into making sustainable choices letting you take ownership of your journey whilst holding you accountable. The peer support in the house needs to be a strong so you can learn from each other and support each other.
At our sober living home in Thailand we specialise in ownership and empowerment which is very powerful. If a sober home has only given you one pathway to follow, then you are going to find it difficult to maintain that pathway especially if it’s not really been working for you.
I was personally trained by some of the pioneers of the recovery movement in the UK and I fully understand the process and the important factors that go into helping people to achieve long-term recovery. I have been working in the addictions field for over 10 years which has given me a wealth of knowledge.
The family vibe is very special at The Calm sober house. Our number one priority is how we care for you. Have a look through our google reviews to see what people are saying about our care.
Sober living can be very challenging because now the substances have been put down you will have to deal with the emotions and possible cross addictions that surface. You will need to be in a very caring environment whilst you work through those possible issues.
The sober living facility at our sober living home in Thailand is world class. We have a stunning, beautiful 12-bedroom villa type resort. We keep the cost very low and it will be very hard to beat us on price for what we offer.
I urge you to seriously think about including sober living after rehab because this will give you the best chance of long-term recovery.

Let’s come together to make your recovery something for you to be proud of.
