History

The Hope Rehab Centre was founded by Simon Mott and Alon Kumsawad in 2013. [1] Mott had previously worked at The Cabin Chiang Mai rehab centre, serving as that facility's head counsellor [2] and manager. [3] In late 2014, musician Pete Doherty was treated at the facility. After his time there, he launched the Peter Doherty Hope Initiative to provide funding for other patients at the centre. [4] [5] The centre is part of a trend of medical tourism, [6] attracting many of its patients from overseas. [7]

Facility

The Hope Rehab Centre is located on a seven-acre estate in Si Racha [6] near the Gulf of Thailand. [7] It contains 35 beds and is licensed by the Thailand Ministry of Health, the United Kingdom's Federation of Drug and Alcohol Practitioners and the U.S.-based Association for Addiction Professionals. [1] The centre uses modern and holistic rehabilitation methods [5] and treats a variety of drug, alcohol, and process addictions. [7]

Programs

Methods include a twelve-step program, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and engagement in health and fitness activities like yoga, swimming, pilates, tai chi and others. [6] Meditation, sessions of recovery coaching, intensive counselling and periodic tourist outings are other activities that patients may engage in. The length of the program varies from short-term stays (30 days) [7] to longer-term stays (60 to 90 days or more). [1] [6]

Polysubstance dependence refers to a type of substance use disorder in which an individual uses at least three different classes of substances indiscriminately and does not have a favorite substance that qualifies for dependence on its own. Although any combination of three substances can be used, studies have shown that alcohol is commonly used with another substance. This is supported by one study on polysubstance use that separated participants who used multiple substances into groups based on their preferred substance. The results of a longitudinal study on substance use led the researchers to observe that excessively using or relying on one substance increased the probability of excessively using or relying on another substance.

About 1 in 7 Americans suffer from active addiction to a particular substance. Addiction can cause physical, psychological, and emotional harm to those who are affected by it. The American Society of Addiction Medicine defines addiction as "a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and an individual's life experiences. People with addiction use substances or engage in behaviors that become compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences." In the world of psychology and medicine, there are two models that are commonly used in understanding the psychology behind addiction itself. One model is referred to as the disease model of addiction. The disease model suggests that addiction is a diagnosable disease similar to cancer or diabetes. This model attributes addiction to a chemical imbalance in an individual's brain that could be caused by genetics or environmental factors. The second model is the choice model of addiction, which holds that addiction is a result of voluntary actions rather than some dysfunction of the brain. Through this model, addiction is viewed as a choice and is studied through components of the brain such as reward, stress, and memory. Substance addictions relate to drugs, alcohol, and smoking. Process addictions relate to non-substance-related behaviors such as gambling, spending money, sexual activity, gaming, spending time on the internet, and eating.
