Admissions Process
At Phuket Island Rehab, our admissions procedure is designed to be efficient and transparent at every stage.
Our team, many of whom are in recovery themselves, provides a welcoming and understanding environment. This shared experience allows for open and empathetic conversations, as they truly understand what you or your loved one is going through.
Read on to discover the comprehensive steps involved in our admissions process, from the initial evaluation to your arrival at our center in Thailand.
Initial Free Assessment
The journey to recovery at Phuket Island Rehab starts with a complimentary, confidential assessment call with our dedicated team.
These conversations typically last between 15 to 20 minutes and encompass a wide array of topics. During the call, the Admissions Manager may inquire about:
- The nature and extent of substance or behavior impacting your life
- Your daily usage patterns
- The duration of these patterns
- Past treatment experiences, if any
- Current medications, if applicable
Additional discussions may follow to ensure you receive the most suitable treatment and care for a thorough recovery. Our ultimate aim is to make Phuket Island Rehab the final inpatient facility you or your loved one will need.
Unlike centers focused merely on occupancy or financial metrics, our commitment is to your long-term recovery and achieving your life goals.
Overview of Admissions
Throughout your assessment calls, our team works with you or your loved ones to determine the suitability of our residential rehab program. Once approved, we will schedule your start date, and you’ll need to arrange your travel to Thailand.
Arrival in Thailand
After arriving and clearing immigration at Phuket International Airport, you will be greeted at your arrival gate by one of our support staff and escorted to our transportation vehicle. A scenic drive will then bring you directly to Phuket Island Rehab.
First Steps at Our Facility
Our team will welcome you to Phuket Island Rehab, guiding you through essential paperwork and familiarizing you with the facility. Should you arrive in need of medically supervised detox, due to severe intoxication, you may initially stay at a partner hospital under medical supervision.
Preparing for Rehab
Before commencing your journey to recovery, it’s beneficial to inform friends and family of your decision. This allows you to manage expectations and ensures your responsibilities are taken care of in your absence. Consider:
- Informing loved ones about your plans
- Arranging for the care of your home, finances, pets, and plants
- Notifying landlords or neighbors of your extended absence
Accepting the Situation
Reflect on your reasons for seeking rehab. Commit fully to the process, keeping in mind your recovery and sobriety goals. Understand that feelings of anxiety and overwhelm are normal and manageable.
Welcoming Change
Be prepared to embrace new emotional and spiritual aspects of yourself in our rehab center in Thailand. Admission requires heartfelt commitment to the transformative journey ahead.
Managing Expectations
