Whether you’re seeking help for yourself or a loved one, recovery begins with one private conversation. A 20-bed luxury rehab centre and dedicated mental health clinic in the foothills of Northern Thailand, treating drug and alcohol addiction alongside co-occurring mental health disorders.
Working with leading partners worldwide
Our Approach
A retreat for true recovery — not just treatment.
Treating drug and alcohol addiction takes more than a clean room and a chemistry chart. The Hills is a licensed inpatient rehab centre that combines clinical psychiatry, evidence-based therapy, and a private mountainside compound. A setting that lets the nervous system stand down for the first time in years and makes lasting recovery possible.
Travelling overseas, to Thailand, the land of smiles, puts real distance between you and the triggers that keep relapse alive at home: the places, the people, the daily routines that keep alcohol and drug use in motion. That distance is part of our approach to addiction, not a detour around it. It is also why people from across the UK, EU, and Australia choose rehab in Thailand for treatment, where affordable luxury rehab care is delivered at a fraction of the cost of equivalent UK, US, or Australian centres, with the same clinical standards and considerably more privacy.
From first call to your last week here, you’re cared for by named clinicians and a small staff team, not interchangeable shifts. Maximum 20 residents at any time. No exceptions.
Three Pillars
Three pillars at the heart of our approach.
Every element of the programme, from the clinical track to the cuisine, is built around one of three constants. They are why people who try The Hills tend not to need to try anywhere else.
Medical
The only treatment centre in Thailand with a separate mental health clinic and 24-hour nursing support. An on-site clinic, medically supervised detox, and a licensed addiction treatment centre, not a wellness retreat. Our team treats alcohol use, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and co-occurring mental health issues under one roof.
Privacy
An exclusive 20-bed inpatient treatment centre. Discreet, confidential admissions and a private mountainside compound away from the city.
Peacefulness
The setting is part of the treatment: the beautiful foothills of Northern Thailand, with space and quiet to focus on recovery.
Programmes
Comprehensive care for what actually hurts.
From addiction treatment and detox to anxiety, depression, burnout and trauma. Every residential rehab and addiction treatment programme our centre in Chiang Mai offers, in one scrollable view, each treatment programme tailored to your level of care.

Unique in Thailand
The only treatment centre in Thailand with a separate mental health clinic.
Our separate mental health clinic allows us to support clients with more complex emotional and psychological needs alongside addiction treatment, in a setting designed for privacy, comfort, and focused care.
It is what makes The Hills one of the best rehab centres in Thailand for residents whose addiction and mental health are intertwined. Mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD are treated by registered psychiatrists at the on-site clinic, with daily therapy and meditation built into every treatment programme.
The Hills Rehab Thailand stands among the best luxury rehab and addiction rehab options in Asia, a top-tier rehab in Asia where Thailand provides internationally accredited care with mountainside privacy. As a Thailand rehab centre that offers luxury facilities and evidence-based addiction treatment in Thailand, we integrate mental health and addiction in one place, with a clinical approach to addiction treatment built around each resident. Our Chiang Mai addiction treatment centre serves clients from across the world, and for families weighing alcohol rehab in Thailand, drug and alcohol rehab, chiang mai rehab options, or wider Thai rehab centres and rehabs in Thailand, every consultation with our admissions team is free and confidential.
Alongside this, facilities such as our gym and wellness spaces play an important role in recovery, helping clients rebuild strength, routine, and emotional balance as part of a more complete healing process.

Holistic Recovery
Holistic rehab and luxury recovery in Chiang Mai.
A holistic rehab programme is one that treats the cause, not the symptom. We integrate clinical psychiatry, evidence-based talk therapy, meditation and mindfulness, fitness, nutrition, and traditional Thai bodywork into one residential addiction treatment plan, tailored to each guest. Our luxury rehab facilities support the body, the brain, and the life around them, at once.
Recovery is not the same for everyone, and our approach to addiction reflects that. The body, the brain, and the life around them are all addressed at once, so what you take home is more than abstinence. It is lasting recovery, a way to live.
Across our residential rehabilitation, the team offers a range of treatment options, from medically supervised detox through long-term addiction recovery support and structured aftercare. Each treatment programme is tailored to the level of care you need, and few rehab centres in Thailand are able to match the scope of clinical, psychiatric, and lifestyle support delivered in one centre.
On-site Facilities
Facilities that support your recovery.
A modern gym, an outdoor pool, a yoga and mindfulness space, gardens, and individual therapy rooms. The campus is designed to support the work of recovery throughout the residential stay.
A 5-star facility in the foothills of Northern Thailand, with everything needed on-site.

Honest Answers
Frequently asked questions (FAQ).
The questions we hear most often, answered honestly. If yours isn’t here, our team is one short call away, and the conversation is always confidential.
Ask Us DirectlyWhat makes a rehab programme “holistic”? +
A holistic rehab programme involves a wide range of approaches focused on your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Rather than treating only the symptoms of addiction or mental illness, holistic care addresses the underlying causes, combining clinical psychiatry, evidence-based therapy, fitness, mindfulness, nutrition and traditional bodywork into a single integrated plan tailored to each resident.
Is there a difference between a rehab centre and a rehab retreat? +
Yes. A rehab centre is a licensed medical facility with on-site clinicians, supervised detox, and 24-hour nursing, equipped to treat substance dependency and mental health conditions safely. A rehab retreat is typically wellness-focused and unlicensed, without the medical capacity to handle withdrawal, psychiatric medication, or co-occurring conditions. The Hills is a licensed treatment centre, not a retreat.
What should I look for in the best rehab centre in Thailand? +
Look for a Thai Ministry of Public Health licence, international accreditation such as AACI, named clinicians with verifiable professional registrations, on-site medical detox capacity, 24-hour nursing, a small resident cohort, and a transparent admissions process. Ask whether the centre treats co-occurring mental health conditions and whether you can speak with a clinician before committing.
Is holistic rehab suitable for people with co-occurring mental health conditions? +
Yes, provided the centre is licensed and clinically equipped. Co-occurring (or dual diagnosis) conditions such as addiction with anxiety, depression, trauma or bipolar disorder require integrated care from a psychiatrist alongside therapy. The Hills’ separate mental health clinic and on-site psychiatry team are built for exactly this. A wellness-only retreat is not.
What makes The Hills different from other luxury rehab centres? +
Three things. It is the only treatment centre in Thailand with a dedicated, separate mental health clinic alongside addiction treatment. The resident cohort is capped at 20, so care is delivered by named clinicians rather than rotating shifts. And the team includes two licensed psychiatrists, registered psychotherapists, a general practitioner and a head of nursing, on site, twenty-four hours a day.
How much does luxury rehab in Thailand cost? +
Luxury rehab in Chiang Mai is typically priced per week of stay, with most programmes running 28 to 90 days. The starting rate at The Hills is around $12,900 USD for a 28-day programme, though rehab costs vary depending on the level of care, length of stay, and the complexity of the clinical and psychiatric support a resident needs. Pricing reflects the medical staffing model (two licensed psychiatrists, registered nurses, therapists), the small resident cohort, accommodation, food, excursions, and aftercare. The Hills provides a tailored quote on the free admissions call, so the rehab costs you see reflect the programme actually recommended for you.
Why travel overseas to Thailand for rehab? +
Travelling overseas to Thailand puts real distance between you and the triggers that keep relapse alive at home: familiar places, the people who drink or use with you, and the daily routines that repeat the cycle. That distance is part of the treatment. Thailand also offers internationally accredited care at a fraction of equivalent UK, EU or US pricing, with mountainside privacy, full visa support, and a climate that supports recovery year-round.
