I have to say the treatment I received in the Dawn for childhood trauma, adhd  and mild depression was excellent, they go above and beyond to make sure you get the best treatment.

I came in here on 2% battery and leaving at 80%. But the best thing is I’ve got the tools and support to get me to 100% when I get home .

The facilities are awesome from the grounds to the gym and the rooms are amazing.

The chefs , the cleaners and support team are just amazing couldn’t ask for anything better .

I am definitely recommending the Dawn to anyone that is feeling not right and need help

The Dawn is the place to be to receive the help you  need

I would highly recommend

And if I could give a 50 star review I would 😁

**5/5 Stars — One of the Best Investments of My Life**

I went to The Dawn with absolutely no idea what an addiction rehab would be like or what to expect. It turned out to be far better and more effective than I could have ever imagined.

**Pre-Admissions**
Daryl and Marcus gave me a detailed walkthrough of what to expect and asked all the right questions, which gave me immense confidence right from the start. While there are millions of businesses out there just to make money, fields like medicine, teaching, and addiction recovery are beyond that.

* **Support & Non-Doctor Staff (5.5/5):** Absolutely incredible. They aren't just handling logistics; they act like family or close friends. They take care of everything and are always there if you need to talk, share, or ask for help. Special shoutouts to Merry and AJ Abdullah!
* **Therapists (5/5):** Fortunate to work with Ken and Jayvee, who are both amazing. Jayvee helped me understand key concepts one-on-one and gave me practical solutions for my thoughts and struggles. Ken's psychoeducational group sessions blew my mind—he truly knows this field inside and out. Raymond was also fantastic, incredibly patient, and knowledgeable.
* **Facilities (4/5):** Above average. Luxury is subjective (what one person calls amazing, another might not), but I found it comfortable and solid.
* **Food (3.5/5):** Good, but room for minor tweaks.

**The Standout Highlight: Peer Support**
What I didn't see coming was how powerful the peer community would be. Seeing people struggling with similar challenges—substance, behavioral, trauma, and mental health—supporting each other created an immediate sense of family. That comfort and shared understanding was the absolute highlight of my stay.

**One Area for Improvement**
For clients dealing with process/tech addictions (online gambling, crypto trading, social media, shopping, or adult content), there needs to be tighter device control. Paying $20k–$25k a month, I’d expect them to either block problematic websites on client devices (similar to restricting alcohol/substances) or provide managed devices pre-loaded only with essential apps like WhatsApp, email, and music.

**Final Verdict**
An amazing place that genuinely cares. They even let me stay two extra days free of charge because I mistakenly booked the wrong return flight—proof that it’s not just about the money for them.

Huge thanks to Ken, Jayvee, Raymond, AJ Abdullah, Jack, Merry, and the entire support team!

I had a beautiful experience at this facility. The staff were all so kind and eager to assist with your needs. The buildings, rooms, and apartments themselves were all well kept and conducive to calm living. The grounds were beautiful and well-landscaped. The services and amenities provided are top-tier. More specifically, I visited the wellness center here and was able to participate in  the sound bath. What an amazingly relaxing AND rejuvenating experience. I’d be happy come back for wellness experiences like this.

I recently visited this wellness center and had a wonderful experience. The lady who gave us the tour was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the center. She made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived.
The facilities and buildings are absolutely beautiful, with a peaceful atmosphere that helps you relax right away. Everything is well maintained and thoughtfully designed.
I also had my very first sound bowl healing experience, and it was fantastic. It was both relaxing and enjoyable, and I'm very glad I had the opportunity to try it.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for wellness, relaxation, and a beautiful environment.

What an experience, I have have gained so much from being here to the fact I extended my stay from 4 weeks to 5. The team specially- mitch, jack, Nora, marie, AJ, tai, mai, yaa, kaan and all the other people i have forgotten to mention were brilliant in there work. There nursing team is very good to and make sure u are comfortable and getting your meds on time specially- boy and dr zaw. The food has been fantastic also just that it lacked a bit of variety on a few days other than that exceptional. The gym, massages, therapies, pool were the highlight. There hk team is very prompt and goes above and beyond to provide you comfortable and clean rooms, could add a evening turn down service for the price they are charging, overall superb brilliant exceptional experience. Thank you the dawn for make me into who i am today.

I had the pleasure of visiting The Dawn today for a tour, and I was genuinely so impressed with everything they have to offer. The facilities are beautiful, peaceful and thoughtfully designed, with such a great range of activities and experiences available for guests.

We also had the opportunity to take part in a sound bath healing session, which was honestly wonderful. It was incredibly relaxing, and I could really feel the benefits afterwards. It was such a lovely way to slow down, switch off and completely unwind.

The whole experience left me feeling calm, refreshed and very impressed with The Dawn. From what I saw today, it seems like a truly supportive and welcoming environment for people working through addiction or mental health challenges, with a real focus on healing, wellbeing and recovery. I would highly recommend The Dawn to anyone looking for professional support in a peaceful and caring setting.

If you feel like your life has fallen apart and you can’t see a way out, I’ve been there too. My work, relationships, and mental health collapsed all at once, and I fell into severe depression, crying every day, isolating myself, and feeling completely lost. In that desperation I searched for a way out. That’s when I started looking online and calling different places and eventually found The Dawn Thailand in Chiang Mai.

The first time on the phone call, I spent more than an hour crying while sharing what was happening to me. Instead of judgment,
I was met with deep understanding. I received a space that held my tears and gave me something I hadn’t felt in a long time, here is a safe place to say, “I’m not okay”.

During almost two months in the Wellness Enhancement & Rehab Program, the experienced therapists and team designed a treatment plan that truly fit who I am and helped me untangle the knots in my life carefully.

For safety reasons, there are the support team & the nurse on duty at all times. The Dawn could be a refuge - a trusted place, a gentle shaded road where the environment itself. No need to run, walk more slowly & strongly. My mental state improving step by step and my mind grows lighter.

If you’re reading my life journey and searching for a way out. The Dawn Thailand became a safe home for me >> a place I could trust when everything else felt overwhelming. It might become that place for you too.

You’re not alone !

I had a truly life changing experience at the Dawn. Between the gorgeous grounds, the AMAZING support staff, knowledgeable therapists, fun excursions, fitness fun, delicious healthy meals, discrete nursing staff, pool & gym all located in the peaceful valley by the mountains, it is hard to leave! I am so grateful for this life changing experience and would recommend it to anyone having a hard time in life and looking for answers. I'm sleeping better, feeling mch stronger, happier, more grounded, and have a renewed sense of purpose and skills to handle hard things in life. Will be back to do the deeper work in the near future, namaste! 🙏

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that selling my car to fund my time at The Dawn was the absolute best decision of my entire life.

Healing is rarely ever supposed to be comfortable. In a community setting like this, you will run into every type of personality that exists in the outside world, often in its most extreme form. Other clients will complain, and the process will feel incredibly challenging at times. But there is a profound, undeniable healing that happens through authentic connection. Here, I learned to get used to discomfort, to finally speak aloud the things heavily tied to guilt, shame, anxiety, and fear. I learned that it is okay to say the wrong thing, and that true growth happens when you allow yourself to drop the mask and be seen.

The staff and doctors here are elite professionals who intimately understand the mechanics of trauma:

Robert, my focus therapist, is genuinely the best therapist I have ever had in my entire life.

Helen, the clinical director, proved to be not only an exceptionally skilled practitioner in the healing process during our brief talks, but also an avid, inspiring leader.

The entire staff, from the nurses to the support team, is incredibly polite, compassionate, and professional. In two months, I did not encounter a single person who showed attitude or didn't want to be here.

I chose the Viva package (off-site residence) for two months, though due to renovations, I spent the first six weeks on-site. While the Viva accommodations are perfectly good enough to get the job done, staying on-site is incredibly useful because it gives you immediate access to professional help, nurses, and medications at odd hours of the night. Furthermore, being on-site allowed me to utilize the amenities, like the gym and the piano, for an extra two hours a day, which is surprisingly worth it.

Every single aspect of the programming is intentionally tailored toward mental health and nervous system regulation. The activities, including TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises), sound healing, massage, yoga, and Muay Thai kickboxing, are purposeful. Even the food is scientifically part of the narrative. Having studied nutrition for mood stability myself, I immediately noticed the intentional inclusion of beets, pumpkin seeds, and dried apricots. Furthermore, when the intense "cycle" of processing trauma triggered massive cravings for carbohydrates and chocolate, I was incredibly grateful that the dining room always had cookies and snacks on hand, and that the store had plenty of treats to help.

If you are considering coming here for trauma, I HIGHLY recommend booking 56 days over 28. That extension grants you access to the specialized trauma group. You absolutely need those first 28 days in the regular groups just to stabilize, understand the process, and learn how the community works before diving into the deepest layers of your past.  I thought I learned everything I needed until I entered the second group, and I couldn't believe how much deeper the path of connection and acceptance could go.

It may not feel comfortable every day, but please trust that this place knows exactly what they are doing. I am leaving with a sense of groundedness I didn't think was possible, and I cannot wait to see where life takes me from here.

— Joseph

Had the opportunity to visit The Dawn for the first time and learn more about its rehabilitation program—a place where people come to heal, reflect, and recover from various traumatic experiences.

What struck me most was the atmosphere. Nestled among the natural beauty of Chiang Mai, The Dawn feels more like a sanctuary than a treatment center. Peaceful, serene, and thoughtfully designed, it offers an environment where anyone seeking recovery can truly focus on finding their path toward healing and renewal.

This was my second experience of residential treatment. I arrived with an understanding of what therapeutic work involved, but not what this specific process would ask of me. I planned to stay four to six weeks. I stayed several months.

I arrived at The Dawn numb and in a state of near emotional paralysis. A few years of recovery under my belt, yet more disconnected from myself than ever.

The setting itself is inherently healing: beautiful grounds, comfortable accommodation, and a holistic programme that attends to the whole person. It is a genuinely good place to do hard work.

It's worth noting that The Dawn isn't only for people in early recovery. I came seeking deeper psychological work, and the facility was fully equipped for that. The therapeutic offering goes well beyond addiction treatment. The work here is serious and substantive. I was able to engage with a range of modalities, including somatic work, held by clinicians who clearly understand that recovery isn't just about the mind. The emphasis on reconnecting with the body, not just processing cognitively, made a profound difference for me.

This isn't a facility that offers one-size-fits-all treatment. The team took time to understand what I needed and built something around that. And when I had feedback, it was genuinely listened to and, where appropriate, acted upon.

There were moments during my time at The Dawn where I couldn't see a future waiting for me on the other side of the gates. As is often true of any meaningful therapeutic process, things got worse before they got better. And they got better.

I leave equipped with the skills to sit in discomfort rather than run from it, to move towards a fulfilling life rather than away from myself, towards a future aligned with my values and one that doesn't require me to contort myself into impossible positions (unless on a yoga mat).

After a lifetime of jumping from buoy to buoy, fighting the tides, I seem finally to have learned to swim with rather than against them. I'm not looking for the next goal, but moving in a direction. And much like The Dawn itself, all I have to do is keep showing up. To everyone at The Dawn, thank you for all that you do.

Leaving the Dawn today is such a bittersweet thing. I’ve had the most transformative 2 months here. I called in desperation at the start of the year, having very little faith that I would make a dent in my decades long addiction, but I can honestly say I am leaving here more optimistic than I believed was possible.

The staff are so friendly, warm, caring and welcoming from the first moment of contact. If you engage properly with your focal therapist and the classes offered it can truly change your life.

If you feel like substance abuse issues have made your life utterly unbearable and pointless, I could not recommend this place more.

Amazing place, specialising in trauma. 11 times in treatment, this has been the best place at treating a range of MH conditions, as well as behavioural disorders. The staff were amazing, the rooms more than comfortable, and we worked hard and i was never bored. EMDR with Alan was a revelation, and i finally feel I’ve started treating the root rather than a symptom, of 30 years of pain. Thank you to you all.

The Dawn has been a Godsend to me!… not to mention others here also for care and treatment and there’s just a great balance of all aspects life requires provided here with treatment that make all of us feel so at home here so quickly, I made many friends and so many just didn’t want to leave!

I could mention so many names of all therapists, nurses, support staff, doctors, and the chefs etc!! But all are truly just so caring and great.

I have been and come back just to keep my progress going for all the better every time!

I’ve this year spent 10 months here… a total life overhaul for an entirely new me!

Sincerely—- thank-you with true love to all at the Dawn and your beautiful caring support that has helped me get my life out of a terrible place I won’t mention online to a place where everything looks so much better into my future beyond my time here.

Would highly recommend to absolutely anybody at all!!!!!

I chose the Dawn after much research looking for rehabs that offered more than the 12 step approach which simply had not worked for me... I chose the Dawn because it offered help with trauma recovery and mental health in general, and because there was a Buddhist approach as well as the 12 steps. I needed more, and this place seemed to have it. As well, the cost was far less than rehabs in Canada; the final deciding factor was my phone interview with Helen- she got it. She was entirely present, compassionate and wise.  I felt safe.

I spent 2 months at the Dawn from April - May 2025. The short version is that the experience was life-changing.

Not only did I get excellent daily care that included body, mind/emotions and spirit, but I finally started working on the trauma I had held all my life. The food was amazing! The locale was beautiful, the gym was awesome and the weekly Thai massages were the best I've ever had. The counsellors and staff were all absolutely professional, knowledgeable, skillfull, present and compassionate.

After years of mental health treatments here in Canada and having been to two rehabs before, at the Dawn I got the best mental health and addiction care I have ever had. I am 65 years old, so I'd been struggling with trauma, depression and addiction for a long long time.

Not only that, but there is an aftercare program that is for life! I meet with a therapist run group once a week ( they are offered 2X a week to accommodate different time zones) and I meet with other clients in WhatsAp any time I need to.

I really can't say enough about the Dawn.

The Dawn has been a really important part of my recovery journey. Going to treatment overseas was a big step for me, but from the moment I arrived I felt welcomed and supported. The staff are compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly care about the people in their program. Every member of the team knows your name and goes out of their way to say hello. Beyond the therapy team, the real glue is the support staff, medical team, cleaning staff, housekeeping, grounds care, and kitchen team.

What I appreciated most was the balance of therapy and holistic practices. There are opportunities for meditation, sound healing, yoga, Muay Thai, massage, and fitness sessions - truly a well rounded healing approach. The setting in Chiang Mai is peaceful and beautiful, which really helps create the space to slow down and focus on healing.

Recovery isn’t easy work, but The Dawn provides a safe and supportive environment to do that work. I’m very grateful for my time there and for the people who helped support me along the way. It will always be a meaningful part of my journey.

I arrived at The Dawn after a severe mental breakdown. I was unable to regulate my emotions and had developed very unhealthy coping mechanisms over the years. Although I had struggled with my mental health for a long time, I had never truly accepted it or reached out for help before.
If you are looking for a compassionate and professional mental health and trauma recovery rehab, I cannot recommend The Dawn highly enough.
Before coming to The Dawn, I spent a lot of time researching treatment centres around the world. From my very first contact, the administration team at The Dawn were exceptional. Daryl handled my enquiry from the beginning and made what was an incredibly overwhelming situation feel manageable. He was kind, patient, and supportive, guiding me through the process and helping me feel confident that I was making the right decision.
When I arrived at The Dawn, I was extremely overwhelmed. I was a bag of nerves and found it very difficult to communicate with anyone. I was introduced to my therapist, Rob, whose calm and caring nature helped me open up and talk honestly for the first time in my life. He took the time to truly understand me before putting together a treatment plan for my recovery. One thing that makes The Dawn so special is that every programme is tailored to each individual client.
Once I was stabilised, Rob began EMDR therapy with me, which helped me regulate my emotions and start to rebalance my nervous system. Rob has truly been a guardian angel to me and I will always be grateful for his patience, support, and belief in me.
The entire support team also helped me through some of the darkest moments of my life. AJ and Jack were incredibly supportive throughout my stay, and I will always be thankful for the time and care they gave me.
When I arrived, I also had a very unhealthy relationship with food and believed I was the world’s fussiest eater. After working with Tara, the nutritionist, I was able to face my food anxieties and start trying things I had never imagined eating before. The food at The Dawn was exceptional — fresh, delicious, and varied every day.
Nissa, the holistic coach, has one of the most compassionate and understanding approaches I have ever encountered. She gently encouraged me while always respecting my limits and helping me reconnect with my body.
The medical team at The Dawn were also incredibly caring, especially Nan. They never forced medication and always discussed options with me first, which made me feel respected and safe.
The support team also organised some amazing excursions and experiences that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
I will be leaving The Dawn a completely different person from the one who arrived. I had lost my sense of identity, but here I have found it again. My life has changed in ways I never thought possible.
If you are reading this while struggling and wondering whether to reach out for help, I was in exactly that position not long ago. Coming to The Dawn was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Thank you, Helen, for creating such an incredible place. The Dawn has truly changed my life, and I will always be grateful to you and the amazing team you have built.

The Dawn gave me a sense peace & presence that I didn't think was possible. The therapists work hard to help you realise the roots of issues & I am incredibly grateful for my time here. Like everything, what you put in is what you get out, & I thrived on gaining insight on my mental health through the psycho educational, relapse prevention classes, alongside a 1-1 therapist. (The people it doesn't work for are usually the ones not putting their all in, not attending groups, not focused on making real changes in their everyday lives). The support staff, medical team, & everyone working there give so much to the clients in terms of friendliness, kindest & respect.

Coming to The Dawn for 90 days was the first time I felt truly safe enough to face my trauma rather than just manage the symptoms. The structure, consistency, and depth of the work allowed me to slow down and understand how much my past was shaping my reactions, relationships, and self-worth. What stood out most was that the team didn’t rush me or offer quick fixes—they stayed with me through the difficult parts, helping me build emotional regulation, trust, and healthier coping patterns. By the end of my stay, I didn’t feel “fixed,” but I felt grounded, clearer, and finally equipped with the tools and insight to move forward with my life in a very different way.

My experience at The Dawn Rehab Centre in Chiang Mai has been nothing short of life-changing. When I arrived, I was struggling deeply with addiction and trauma, unsure of who I was or how to move forward. After completing a 12-week bespoke program, I can genuinely say that I feel like a completely different person;  grounded, empowered, and truly ready to step back into the real world.

A huge part of this transformation is thanks to the incredible people who supported me every step of the way.
My focal therapist, Alan Wood, guided me with compassion, insight, and unwavering care. His approach helped me confront the core of my issues and rebuild myself from a place of understanding rather than shame.

I also want to express my gratitude to Helen Wells, the Clinical Director, whose leadership and vision shape the remarkable therapeutic environment at The Dawn. Her presence and expertise were felt throughout the entire program.

The support team was equally extraordinary. I want to thank David, Abdulla, Pang, Jack, Top, Bas, Ping, Nora, Mary, Beam, Mun and Linh each of you played a unique role in my healing. Whether it was a conversation, a smile, or guidance during difficult moments, your kindness made all the difference.

And to the amazing admissions team, Alex Holland, Marcus, Daryl, and everyone else involved, thank you for making the process smooth, reassuring, and filled with genuine care from the very beginning.

The entire staff at The Dawn work together like a family, and during my stay, I truly felt part of that family. The environment, the personalized therapy, the structure, and the warmth of the community created the perfect space for deep healing and growth.

I leave The Dawn with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. This journey has changed my life in ways I will forever be grateful for.

Thank you, The Dawn. You gave me my life back.

Life-Changing Experience — Deep Recovery, Not Just Detox

The Dawn isn’t just a rehab — it’s a place where real transformation happens if you’re willing to do the work. I came in broken, full of shame, and disconnected from myself. What I found here was structure, safety, and a team that truly understands addiction as a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.

Helen, the Clinical Director, runs the program with depth and integrity. She doesn’t sugarcoat things, but her insight and compassion are what make the process real. She has an incredible ability to connect your story to the underlying trauma and patterns that keep you stuck — and to guide you toward real change.

The clinical program is world-class: evidence-based therapy combined with mindfulness, community, and accountability. Group sessions were intense but healing, and the staff genuinely care — they see you as a person, not a problem.

I left The Dawn with a foundation for long-term recovery, not just sobriety. It gave me back a sense of purpose and hope I didn’t think I’d find again.

If you’re serious about recovery, come here with an open heart. The work isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.

My friend came to The Dawn about 2 months ago for treatment for depression and anxiety, and I’ve seen such a difference in her since then. The care and support she has received there have been incredible.

The support team is not only professional but also very kind and encouraging.

Hearing how much the team makes her feel understood and supported has been really comforting as I watched her slowly regain her strength.

Would recommend this place for those whose friends and families are seeking help and support.

Choosing to go to The Dawn was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Before coming here, I felt completely stuck, weighed down by old patterns, and unsure if true healing was even possible. The Dawn didn’t just help me through my struggles — they transformed my entire perspective on life.

From the moment I arrived, I felt cared for, supported, and safe. The facility itself is incredible — it’s a peaceful and beautiful environment that naturally allows you to slow down, reflect, and focus on healing. Everything from the surroundings to the daily structure feels intentional and supportive of recovery.

But what makes The Dawn truly special is the people. The staff are some of the most compassionate, understanding, and dedicated individuals I’ve ever met. They don’t just “do their jobs” — they genuinely care about you as a person, and that makes all the difference when you’re trying to heal.

I also have to mention my therapist, Alan. He has been nothing short of amazing. His guidance, wisdom, and patience helped me uncover so much about myself and pushed me to grow in ways I didn’t think I was capable of. He created a space where I felt safe to be vulnerable, and through his support, I found clarity, strength, and real tools to build a better life.

The Dawn gave me more than sobriety or healing from specific struggles — they gave me myself back. I left with hope, self-compassion, and a deep belief that change is possible. I can’t thank The Dawn enough for everything they’ve given me. This place truly changes lives, and it has absolutely changed mine.

This is a continuation of my review - one year on from when I joined The Dawn and at one year sober, one day at a time. I remain very grateful to all the staff at The Dawn and in truth I sometimes rather miss the tranquility of the place, the friendliness, the myriad of things to do, but life carries on and luckily for me, The Dawn has allowed me to carry on with life, sober and certainly more at peace than I was before.
Thank you The Dawn.

I had a great experience at The Dawn and am very grateful for all the support and care I got. This hasn't been my first rehab, but undoubtedly it was the best. The staff are amazing - from the Support team, to the fitness team and of course the counsellors - but all of them play a part in welcoming you, making you feel at home and getting you back on track. The experience isn't as rigid as some of the UK rehabs I have been to but the outcome is significantly better. There is a lot of focus on CBT - and I now realise that unless I change my thinking, I will always go back to the hell that is addiction. I will be forever grateful to The Dawn - a fantastic rehab with excellent facilities, lovely people and a great atmosphere.
