Which substance or behaviors are affecting your life?

Our primary goal is to make Miracles Asia the last inpatient facility that you, or your loved one will ever need to visit.
Miracles Asia is about more than bottom lines on monthly reports, or keeping the facility at maximum capacity...
If you get approved for admission to our rehab in Thailand, it's because we believe that the program will be your best chance to fully overcome your addiction, as well as achieve the goals you have for the rest of your life.

Preparing for Rehab
It would help to let friends and family know your decision before you start the admission process to an addiction treatment center. By doing this, you'll be able to share your news before people you care about hear it through the grapevine.
However, it's up to you to decide whether to tell them or keep your privacy and explain that you'll be away for a while. You can ask for help watching your home or assisting with your finances by letting others know.
Asking for help is a great way to involve people you care about in your significant change, as they won't necessarily be present throughout your rehabilitation. Finally, tie up any loose ends at home. Prepare everything for your absence, including ensuring that any utilities, rent, and loans are covered.
If necessary, alert your landlord or neighbors that you will be away for an extended time. Also, you should find trustworthy care or boarding for your pets and plants.

Accepting the situation
Look within yourself and honestly ask why you're going to rehab. Don't waste your time and money completing a rehab program without fully committing to recovery and ongoing sobriety.
Outline on paper or mentally rehearse your goals for yourself. What do you hope to gain from treatment? Is there anything that you are not willing to do for your recovery?
Don't get too worried if you feel very anxious and overwhelmed. These feelings are too expected & are more common than you think. Instead, try to acknowledge your anxiety, sit with it for a while, and then continue to move forward, knowing there's nothing wrong with that.

Invite change
Admission to rehab in Thailand might seem challenging, so be prepared to open up to a different side of yourself, spiritually and emotionally, that you may not be very familiar with.
Admission to an addiction treatment center requires you to put your heart into it and sincerely desire the change it will bring, even if it means letting go of your old ways of dealing with life in a new way.

Keep your expectations in check
While you've decided to overhaul your life and kick your addiction, the rehabilitation process can be gradual and often seem daunting.

Casual Clothing
Phuket is a tropical island, so every location you visit outside of the rehab center is very laid-back. Most people wear shorts, T-Shirts, and Polo style shirts. We suggest you bring loose-fitting clothing to be as comfortable as possible.

Spending Money
You will need cash for snacks, soft drinks, cigarettes, or vapes. Generally, most guests can get by very comfortably with $35-$50 per week as the cost of living in Thailand is much lower to Western countries.
