Meet Holina Rehab, a rehab in Thailand approved by the Thai Ministry of Health

[CharlieH]

 

When you think of Koh Phangan, rehab might not be the first thing that comes to mind. The island is famous for its full moon parties, yoga retreats, and stunning beaches. But that’s exactly what makes Holina Rehab stand out.

Located at a beachfront resort with breathtaking sunset views, Holina Addiction & Trauma Recovery Rehab provides a unique setting for healing. Clients recover in a pool, engage in therapy with picturesque backdrops, and rediscover themselves in an environment far from the cold, clinical feel of traditional rehab centres.

The license that changed private rehabilitation in Thailand

 

Rehabilitation is a serious matter, and a wellness retreat alone isn’t enough. However, Holina Rehab is different. They’re a residential rehab facility in Thailand with official licensing from the Thai Ministry of Health. 

For years, anyone seeking rehab in Thailand had only two options. They could either choose a hospital-based detox that specifically addresses the physical consequences of drinking or drug use, typically within a medical environment, or they could attend one of the established private clinics offering addiction treatment, though these clinics previously operated under an outdated licensing protocol.

This protocol has now been updated to reflect the significant shift in recent years, as Thailand has become the world leader in global rehab tourism.

Holina Rehab in Koh Phangan is the proud recipient of Thailand's Ministry of Public Health’s updated licensing, which reflects this global trend towards international guests seeking legitimate help.

Why This License Matters for Clients

Choosing rehab is a deeply personal decision, often accompanied by concerns about effectiveness, safety, and value. Holina Rehab’s certification guarantees structured, evidence-based treatment for addiction, trauma, and mental health recovery. All programs operate under strict supervision by the Thai Ministry of Health.

Clients benefit from medically supervised detoxification, therapy from licensed psychologists, and specialized trauma recovery support. Holina blends modern Western psychological methods with Eastern healing traditions, creating a well-rounded approach to recovery.

Recovery in a Tropical Paradise?

 

A rehab centre on a Thai island might conjure up images of wellness retreats with meditation and yoga. While Holina Rehab offers a resort-like environment with beachfront bungalows and pools, it remains focused on serious recovery work.

Holina integrates one-on-one therapy with licensed professionals alongside breathwork, somatic healing, and sound therapy. The goal is to help individuals reconnect with themselves and break free from addiction and trauma. Recovery doesn’t have to feel like punishment—Holina’s personalized treatment plans include nutritious gourmet meals, fitness programs, and offsite recreational activities, ensuring a well-rounded healing experience.

What to Expect at Holina Rehab

Holina Rehab specializes in addiction, trauma, and emotional healing, with programs ranging from four to twelve weeks. Treatment begins as soon as a client arrives in Koh Phangan—there’s no rigid start date.

Each client follows a personalized schedule based on their needs, whether addressing substance addiction, stress, or emotional struggles. The rehab combines the traditional 12-step model with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), talk therapy, and mindfulness techniques inspired by Thai Buddhism and Eastern philosophies.

Mornings typically start with yoga, exercise, or swimming, followed by meditation and mindfulness sessions. Group therapy covers topics like family dynamics, emotional processing, and personal growth in men’s and women’s circles. Afternoons focus on individualized therapies, including sessions with psychotherapists, somatic therapists, or specialists in aqua therapy, breathwork, and art therapy.

Holina also incorporates experiential healing. Sound therapy, drumming circles, and singing bowls help release emotional tension, while ice baths, saunas, and beachside massages promote physical relaxation.

What Clients Say About Holina Rehab

A rehab centre’s reputation isn’t just built on credentials—it’s reflected in the success stories of its clients.

Brianne Nola described Holina as “a brilliant place to get back in touch with oneself,” praising the expertise and dedication of the staff. Thomas Larson credited Holina with saving his life, calling it “the most loving, caring, and supportive community I’ve ever experienced.”

Recovery is challenging and deeply personal, but at Holina Rehab, it is also transformative—and it happens in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
