Our stunning property is a 16-bedroom resort-style Thailand rehab treatment centre, spread over 2 hectares and situated in beautiful botanical gardens. The centre has been uniquely designed by us to create a conducive and peaceful environment and a serene setting for treatment and recovery. We have also custom-built a yoga & meditation sala as well as a recreation sala.
Our rooms are spacious and comfortable, and you can enjoy views into the forest from the poolside, as well as walks through the gardens. We place great emphasis on creating a supportive environment at our luxury residential Thailand rehab treatment centre. This helps to promote sleep, rest and recuperation when you need it most, enhancing your overall healing and therapy outcomes.
Chiang Mai is a historical city located in the north of Thailand, also referred to as the “Rose of the North”. It is famous for its historical temples, picturesque mountains, cool weather, and scenic views. Our rehab and treatment centre is nestled high up in the hills and surrounded by lush forest with incredible vistas. We also have a beautiful small Buddhist Temple located next to our centre, within short walking distance. There are plenty of activities available in the area, so you’re able to strike the right balance of focusing on healing in privacy, and stepping out to enjoy the variety of activities available.
The Beekeeper House is part of a larger regional mental health and wellbeing group of companies. We also own, or part-own, a number of holistic wellbeing-focused companies that specialise in Yoga and Holistic Practices.
Our Thailand rehab treatment centre was founded on the principles and values of putting the client at the centre of our approach. Our quality and ethical programme is dedicated to the provision of services that completely respect the ethical rights of its clients. This is not just a moral obligation, but also helps enhance the effectiveness of treatment.
We are a renowned rehab and treatment centre that works tirelessly to ensure the clients’ ethical rights are acknowledged, respected, and remembered under all circumstances. We believe those in recovery want to be heard and respected. Empowering them in decision-making and respecting them represents the confidence and support they deserve and need for a new, better life.
Our team is made up of established and qualified experts in their respective fields, from diverse backgrounds and united by a shared commitment to compassion and clinical excellence. The Beekeeper House draws upon both local and international expertise to ensure we have the right people in place to meet your needs. We also have a partnership with our local sister company, Chiang Mai Holistic, who ensure we are able to provide a wide variety of consistent complementary services to our clients.

We will guide you through the process of coming to Thailand with our admissions team on hand to help you, and anyone else who might be supporting you. The process involves the preliminary assessment, followed by an agreement that you will come to the Beekeeper House. The logistics of your travel will be your responsibility, but we will be on hand to advise and help you every step of the way. When you come to Chiang Mai you will be met by our team, who will collect you from the airport. Our team will then conduct a medical evaluation, including a drugs and alcohol test, and a deeper assessment of your needs with respect to treatment
You may have seen 28 days frequently mentioned by rehabilitation centres. The reason for this has no clinical imperative, rather it was the amount of leave military personnel used to be given in 1970’s and has now stuck. There isn’t a magic number for the duration of a stay. In fact, research shows that, if there is a magic number, it’s probably closer to 90 days. Although it’s still not a perfect process, multiple studies have shown treatment that lasts at least 90 days is much more effective. Our minimum stay is 35 days, as our experience has shown us that this is the minimum amount of time we need to help you effect change.
Our centre falls into the mid to upper range of treatment options cost-wise in the region. We do occasionally run promotions with discounted rates. However please be mindful that we are an accredited rehab with world class facilities and staff. We are committed to ensuring that our clients get everything that they have paid for, and we don’t cut corners in our service delivery. For more detailed information you can contact us directly.
During the preliminary assessment you will be able to ask detailed questions about our services and anything else you feel you might wish to ask us, and we will also be able to assess your specific treatment needs. This discovery call is free. In the unlikely event that we collectively don’t feel we are best placed to help you, we will make a referral wherever possible.
Mindfulness, yoga and meditation have some of the strongest research support for effectiveness among alternative and holistic treatments. One meta-analysis indicated that mindfulness practices decreased cravings and increased abstinence rates for substance use at a rate equivalent to numerous evidence-based practices. We combine these approaches with clinical psychology and contemporary medicine to produce powerful outcomes for individuals.
Before you fly into Chiang Mai, our admissions team will fully brief you on the paperwork required for your arrival, including visas. There has been a lot of change in recent times to entry requirements, and our team will always have the latest information.
Thailand is a beautiful place to be, and conducive to the healing process. Chiang Mai in particular has a lovely climate, and also has the advantage of having a large recovery community. There is access to world class medical facilities nearby and a great local workforce, and lots to do in the area. We are able to provide a quality service for less than you would pay in the US, Europe, New Zealand and Australia as the cost of doing business is lower and we are able to pass these savings onto our clients without sacrificing quality.
We are happy to work with insurance companies. Normally you will need a “letter of guarantee” – this is a letter from your company/insurer to us stating the amount the company/insurer is paying for the client, co-payment required from client (if any) and other terms and conditions. However, an initial deposit payment will need to be made in order to secure your place with us. Our admissions team will be able to advise and support you during this process. We will also advise you on the process of how to access your super as well.
The Beekeeper House is part of a larger regional mental health and wellbeing group of companies that have successfully worked with hundreds of clients over many years. We also own or part-own a number of wellbeing companies that specialise in Yoga and Holistic Practices. This means we can leverage our joint experience as employees, across different sites with a huge wealth of experience.
The weather is tropical, warm and can also be humid, with some cooler nights in December through to February. Given the location of our centre, it gets a little colder than most of Chiang Mai so you should pack for cooler evenings as well as hot days. Whereas it is important to dress for the climate, it is also important to dress for the slightly more conservative culture in Thailand, when you are outside of the centre. For instance, in Temples your shoulders and knees should be covered.
