FAQs

What types of addiction do you treat?

We see addiction as a sympton of a greater unease.  This unease can cause a person to manifest a number of symptoms, addiction being one of them.

Because we work on the deepest level of the issues that have led to these symptoms, we do not ‘treat’ only the classic symptoms of addiction.  If these issues aren’t reconciled and healed within a person, addiction may show itself again in the future.  Merely trying to stop a person from using drugs and alcohol does not address the real problem.  This is because drug and alcohol addiction are only two of many potential symptoms that can manifest.

In treating addictions, we allow a person’s addiction to give us access into what goes on at a deeper level. But addiction isn’t the only symptom that can give us this access.  Other manifestations of imbalances in a person’s lifestyle can have the same function in our therapeutic approach.  These include: emotional eating, relationship struggles, burnout, anxiety, depression, spiritual malaise.  Therefore, we also treat those who present with these other symptoms.

What is the duration of stay for the residential program?

We will assess your case individually and agree on a length of stay together with you.

What kind of people go to Infinite Possibilities for treatment?

We accept those who are ready and willing to do the work to address their deep-seated issues.  This means that you must enter our program voluntarily and are not coerced by a family member or required to enter into treatment by law.

Beyond that, you must also enter our program with an understanding that it is an intensive program that requires you to address what’s happening in your internal world (emotionally, cognitively and your relationship with spirituality) as well as your physical world.

We believe that long-lasting recovery involves spiritual healing.  Those who come to Infinite Possibilities should be open to exploring this aspect of their lives.

Our clients are men and women who have become aware of the negative effects of their lifestyle excesses.  They also include those who have been to other rehabs and want to try something different this time.

What kind of detox do you do?

We do not provide any form of medical detox.  We can, however, assist you with this should you require this service.

Why don’t you provide medical detoxes?

Our program focuses on working through underlying issues, not the management of symptoms.  It is tailored to those who have an interest in exploring their innermost pain and using their addiction as a gateway into reclaiming their true selves.

What kind of people are not suitable for Infinite Possibilities?

We do not take individuals who have:

• Severe psychiatric disorders in need of medical monitoring.
• Chronic aggressive behaviour incompatible with a group living environment.

Individuals must have an understanding of the English language to fully benefit from the program.

What is the facility like?

We are located in a beautiful environment some 30kms outside of Chiang Mai.  Our facility has a saltwater swimming pool, gym, jacuzzi, steam rooms, saunas and meditation sala.

Every client has a private ensuite room with modern amenities and a balcony with stunning views of fields and mountains.  There is plenty of space on the grounds for self-reflection.

Do you provide a refund if I leave?

We do not provide a refund on program fees.  Please ensure that you are serious about changing before signing up to attend our program.

Do I need a visa to Thailand?

You will be provided with 30 days visa on arrival in Thailand.  If you require a longer stay, you can visit a Thai consulate before you leave your country of residence and apply for a 60-90 day tourist visa (it takes 3 days and costs about US$150).

Do I need to bring cash, traveler’s checks or ATM cards?

There are many ATM outlets throughout Chiang Mai and you can withdraw cash using your card.  There are banks throughout Chiang Mai that can exchange money and travelers cheques.
