CHIANG MAI, Thailand - Families researching addiction treatment Chiang Mai options often find the same broad promises about personal care. Jintara Rehab Thailand explains that promise in concrete terms: a maximum of 10 adult clients, more than 32 staff, owner-led admission screening, on-site medical detox with 24/7 nursing support, and a written plan for the first 30 days after discharge.
The small capacity is deliberate. It gives nurses, therapists and support staff time to know each client's medical needs, treatment goals and daily progress. Programs start with a four-week foundation and can extend to eight or 12 weeks when clinical needs warrant more time. When a prospective client's needs fall outside Jintara's scope, the admissions team refers them to a more suitable level of care.
"I personally screen every client. No call centre, no junior gatekeepers," said Jintara founder and owner Darren Lockie.
For families comparing alcohol rehab chiang mai, withdrawal safety is often the first concern. Jintara provides residential on-site detox when clinically appropriate. Nurses are on site 24 hours a day, with psychiatric oversight through partner hospitals. The medical assessment can include blood tests, liver and kidney function tests, an EKG and a chest X-ray. If a client needs hospital-level care, the team uses established pathways to Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai and Chiang Mai Ram Hospital.
Medical stabilization is not treated as the end of treatment. Jintara's core program is CBT-led. Individual therapy, small-group sessions, practical skills and relapse-prevention planning address the patterns that keep substance use going. Treatment can also include trauma-informed work, DBT skills and EMDR after stabilization when the clinical team considers it appropriate. Clinical Director Denise O'Leary holds an MA in Counselling Psychology and is an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist.
For people comparing rehab chiang mai programs, Jintara's weekly schedule shows how treatment connects to daily life. Weekdays can combine yoga or walking, CBT or other recovery skills, group work, psychoeducation, one-to-one therapy and care planning. Afternoons may include movement or outside gym sessions. Supervised Saturday outings let clients practice boundaries, manage cues and use new skills away from the center. Session times can change to match individual needs.
Before discharge, clients build a relapse-prevention plan, a medication summary, local therapy referrals and a schedule for the first 30 days at home. Family involvement may be included with the client's written consent. This turns aftercare from a general promise into a set of actions for work, travel, home and ongoing support.
Jintara is operated by Lanna Health Care Company Limited under Thai Ministry of Public Health license SFD 50:13-106. In May 2026, its drug treatment and rehabilitation processes met Thailand's national quality standard for treatment facilities. Certificate no. 25/2569 is valid from 20 May 2026 to 19 May 2029.
