Our Approach Overview

Instead of a 12-step model, our program emphasizes individual therapy, physical activity, practical skills, and daily habits. This allows care plans to be shaped around each person’s situation, preferences, and pace of change.

Non-12-Step Treatment with Fitness Focus

Our Non-12-Step Treatment Program with a Fitness Focus is an addiction rehabilitation approach that does not adhere to the traditional 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or similar programs. Instead, it emphasizes physical fitness and exercise as key components of recovery.

Alongside medical oversight and structured daily routines, our program relies on a set of evidence-based psychotherapy approaches that help clients understand patterns of behavior, develop emotional regulation skills, and build long-term recovery strategies grounded in modern clinical practice.

This unique approach integrates a fitness-focused methodology alongside a non-12-step framework. We believe in the power of physical health as a critical component of addiction recovery. By combining traditional treatment methods with a strong emphasis on physical fitness, clients engage in various activities such as:

Siam Rehab Evidence-Based Approach

An evidence-based approach in rehabilitation refers to the utilization of treatment methods and practices grounded in scientific research, proven to be effective. In addition to our group counselling and 1-to-1 counselling, we also employ methods validated through rigorous studies, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Motivational Enhancement Therapy or Motivational Interviewing
  • Relapse Prevention Therapy
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
  • Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

Each of these therapies at Siam Rehab is designed to address the multifaceted nature of addiction and mental health within a residential program. Additional context on how this approach is experienced in day-to-day life is available through our Inside Recovery podcast.

Siam Rehab Holistic Treatment Approach

The Holistic Treatment Approach is a therapeutic philosophy that considers the individual as a sum of interconnected parts: mind, body, and spirit. Rather than addressing addiction as an isolated issue, this approach acknowledges the profound impact addiction has on every aspect of a person’s life. It seeks to heal not only the symptoms of addiction but also the underlying causes, providing a comprehensive pathway to recovery.

Key Components of Our Holistic Approach:

We aim to empower our clients to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives, long after they leave our care.

Long-term progress depends on predictable routines, structured days, and clear behavioral expectations. Our program integrates these elements through the Active Recovery Model, which provides a practical framework for stability, motivation, and sustained change.
