It is mostly free. Just search it there are several throughout the country. I know someone who went. You will be encouraged to drink some black concoction then vomit into a ditch. Do this several times a day for a few days and it cleans the body and system. Lots of meditation and praying also. Good luck OP. Any addiction is not fun to rehab from. One day at a time. Be strong.

SidJames Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Ask at the pharmacy for xanax. They most likely won;t stock but with have a Thai generic version of it. Don't overuse though as that will just be another problem to overcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotpoom Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 You could also go to either of the AA meetings in Skaw Beach (off 2nd) Rd. or the other meeting in Jomtien near the Honaman (monkey) statue. Any of the lads there would be only to willing to give all the advice and assistance they can. ....Good luck to your friend...he needs to know (if he doesn't already) that the only prevention to this happening again is to Stop Drinking...attendance at the above AA meetings will make what seems impossible...possible.....and just to throw it in....allow him to have a future life beyond his wildest dreams.

CanadaSam Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Guys, Benmart is correct, alcohol withdrawal can easily kill you. The safest course would be to taper off gently, having the minimum amount of alcohol possible to prevent the withdrawal symptoms (i.e. shaking, confusion, vomiting, etc.) over a few days.

Rocking Robert Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Tapering off takes control. His problem is he can’t control his alcohol. AA is his best chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeMak9 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Taper first. Then swap with lioresal (baclofen) 10 mg 4 times a day (8am, 12, 4pm, 8pm) For a few day, you can use valium 10mg valium at night to sleep if you have it. 5th, 6th day you can take 5mg at night. Increase Lioresal to 15 mg 4 times a day the next day and continue daily. If you still have withdrawl symptoms, add 50mg lyrica twice a day. Taper lioresal with 5 to 10mg daily after a week or a week and a half. If you needed lyrica as well, taper it too with 25mg a day (your last dose). Check your blood pressure continuously. You'll be alcohol free in no time. Meds are OTC in Fascino. Some people keep taking baclofen (lioresal) to combat the cravings but its quite expensive in Thailand and I do not recommend it. If you cant stop mentally you better go to a rehab clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike787 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Any hospital is equipped to handle drug withdrawal symptoms. Patients are admitted, monitored closely while drugs are administered intravenously and multi vitamin fluid resuscitation is administered. Not a complicated process. Post discharge, patient needs follow up via psych in the form of counseling and possibly medications to avoid relapse. It is doable. If you can get into trouble, you can get out - it's a "choice".
