Destination Hope Tailand – a journey towards recovery


At Hope, the aim is to provide affordable and quality care to people struggling with addiction. It offers a supportive environment where people can explore their addictions, including looking at underlying issues and identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. When some people pick up


alcohol or drugs, it’s because they believe it offers a solution; an escape from a discomfort deep inside. However, what was once perceived to be a solution can quickly become a problem. Hope offers a chance to look at the


deep discomfort within and a chance to learn new, healthier ways to cope.


It focuses on building self-esteem and self-worth that comes from purpose and meaning in life, not reward- seeking behaviour as with addiction. The staff at Hope oſten get


asked about their success rate, and while they do their best to answer, ultimately they believe that it’s down to the client coming in. They can offer the best programme in the world but it’s the client who will be doing the work. They can provide support, guidance and tools to support recovery, but it’s the client’s commitment and willingness that’s essential. A member of the team will


complete a telephone assessment


with every incoming client so they know they’re ready and committed. Clients at Hope want to change; they want to be free and are willing and open to the process. The Hope team doesn’t expect


clients to be happy every second of the day, but do ask that they work at this and learn from difficulties and challenges that arise. There will be days where clients may think, ‘this is amazing, why didn’t I do it sooner’. And there will be days where they may be triggered by another client in the group or receive news from home, and it’s a struggle. These are what the Hope team calls ‘Giſt Days’ — days when clients get to


use these triggers and discomfort to notice their reactions and see what needs to change. With Hope’s help, clients can learn how to change so they no longer have to rely on drugs or alcohol. Staff at Hope are driven by a


passion to help others who are struggling and have made it their lifetime mission. Recovery starts with Hope. Hope


reflects the attitude the team has on behalf of all its clients until they have it for themselves. Hope is important to instil in clients from the beginning. Hope is the seed of a positive belief system that will start to grow. Hope’s counsellors


put a great emphasis on developing a positive belief system in order to make sustainable changes.
