Kiwi’s are welcome at Siam Rehab Thailand. We are half the price of anything remotely equivalent in New Zealand. 

Below you will find a list of drug and alcohol rehab centres in New Zealand. You should also consider Siam Rehab Thailand as an option as it is just as / or more effective and considerably less expensive. The programme is all in English by a western team and all of our clients fly in from around the world.

We are not endorsing or recommending any of centres as we have never visited them. The list is to help you with your research in finding effective treatment for yourself or someone you love.
