Hello and greetings. I have been taking benzos now for over 6 months and really need to stop. I am toying with the idea of going back home for free treatment, or having it here in thailand. Can anybody provide cheap rehab possibilities?

Regards, Tom

As a non-Thai citizen, your free options are pretty much limited to Narcotics Anonymous and Wat Thamkrabok in Saraburi (about 2 hours north of Bangkok).

At relatively low cost, but not free, you can get physician help/supervision of physical detox. This will only solve the immediate physical addiction though so if you go that route should combine with NA. Otherwise relapse is very, very likely.

Don't toy with the idea. Go.

Immediately.

EDIT TO ADD:

Over nearly 3 decades, I've seen firsthand what can happen when people tried to deal with it (or not deal with it) in Thailand.

Out of 3 cases, one is still alive and OK. (And he went through hell, as did his loved ones).

The Thai's will throw you in jail before they offer you treatment. Going home is your only option.
