How Does Holina Support International Clients?


Travelling abroad for treatment is now well established: the global medical tourism market was valued at around $47 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach roughly $111 billion by 2029, with behavioural health and addiction care a growing part of that shift. For many people the reason is not only cost or availability — it is privacy. Seeking treatment away from your home community, where no one knows you, removes the fear of local stigma that keeps many from getting help at all. Holina Rehab is a fully licensed residential centre on the island of Koh Phangan built to make that journey work.

Our admissions team coordinates your journey from first enquiry through to arrival — working with individuals, partners, parents, and family members across Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Once here, you receive medically supervised detox, evidence-based therapy, and dual treatment for co-occurring behavioural health conditions in one structured programme. If you are uncertain whether Holina is the right fit, contact our admissions team — we will advise honestly, and in complete confidence, including if a different level of care is more appropriate.

Who We Help

Who Travels to Holina for Treatment?


Many individuals and families are uncertain whether use has crossed into addiction. These clinical indicators can help you recognise when professional support is needed.

Clients from Europe

We regularly admit clients from the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Scandinavia, and across Europe. Treatment in Thailand provides both clinical quality and a restorative environment.

Clients from the Middle East

We work with clients and families from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and across the Middle East, with full confidentiality and culturally sensitive care.

Clients from Australia and NZ

Thailand is a practical treatment destination for Australians and New Zealanders seeking residential care at a standard not always accessible at home.

Clients from Southeast Asia

We admit clients from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, and across the region, for whom Koh Phangan is an accessible and private treatment location.

Families Organising Treatment

Family members frequently contact us on behalf of a loved one. We support the family through the admissions process and keep them appropriately informed throughout.

Those Who Need to Leave Their Environment

Distance from home is itself therapeutic. Removing clients from their daily environment — their social triggers, dealers, and familiar patterns — significantly improves treatment outcomes.

Common Questions

International Rehab in Thailand: Your Questions Answered


What is the process from enquiry to arrival if I’m abroad?

It starts with a single confidential enquiry. Our admissions team completes a clinical assessment remotely, confirms that Holina is an appropriate level of care, and then coordinates your journey through to arrival on the island of Koh Phangan. You have one point of contact guiding each step, so nothing is left for you to work out alone.

Do you help with travel logistics to reach the facility?

Our admissions team coordinates your journey from enquiry to arrival, so you know what to expect at each stage of getting here. We will guide you on the practical steps of reaching Koh Phangan in southern Thailand. For entry requirements specific to your nationality, we recommend confirming current details with the relevant authorities as part of your planning.

Is there support if English is not my first language?

Our admissions and clinical process is conducted in English. If language support is a concern, raise it during your first enquiry and we will discuss how best to support your communication needs so you can engage fully in treatment.

How do international insurance and payments work?

We work with clients funding treatment through international insurance as well as self-funded arrangements, sharing only the information you authorise. Because plans vary widely between countries, we go through the specifics with you during admissions. See rehab insurance and financing.

Can my family abroad stay updated during treatment?

Yes, with your consent. Families organising or supporting treatment from another country can stay involved through family addiction support, within the boundaries you set. Your clinical information remains confidential to you unless you choose to share it.

Why do people choose to travel abroad for treatment?

Distance itself is part of the value. Being treated away from your home community — where you are not recognised and daily triggers are removed — offers a level of privacy and separation that local treatment often cannot. For many international clients, that anonymity is a genuine reason to seek care abroad rather than at home.
