Comfort at Channah

There are many people who think that rehab should be tough. It is almost as though addiction should be punished rather than treated. Rehab is tough! But that is the programme and coming to terms with the feelings and emotions that have been suppressed by drink or drugs that is tough. It doesn’t mean that the accommodation and setting should be austere too. Our philosophy is that deprivation does not aid recovery, in fact, it can hinder it.

When a client goes into rehab they are leaving behind a substance that has helped them avoid the issues that cause them pain. Many clients will want to avoid dealing with their pain for as long as possible. Our job is to help the client with this process. If they are fixated on a cold room, bad food or lack of amenities this can hinder their process.

At Channah we believe that offering excellent food, good accommodation and plentiful amenities will give our clients the freedom to deal with their issues without being sidetracked. Rehab at Channah can be a positive experience. The average completion rate for rehab is under 50% (29%-41% in the UK) whereas at Channah we are currently running at 92% completions.

Many clients come here after years of very poor diets so we offer a superb range of Thai and International Cuisine using fresh food, much of it grown and bought locally. This helps our clients get back their appetites and offers them all the vitamins and nutrients they need without having to resort to supplements and pills.

Boredom does not help anyone get better. Our clients have a range of activities from canoeing to swimming to our extensive DVD and book library to use. Learning to relax and make the most of free time is an integral part of recovery. Many clients will have spent all their spare time using or acquiring drugs or alcohol and will need to re-learn relaxation and pick up new interests. They also learn to socialize without the need for artificial aids.

Our setting is beautiful and calming. It may look like a luxury resort but it is an intensive treatment programme. It is tough. But only where it has to be.
