Sober Living

Sober Living & Healthy Living Houses

For those seeking to come and enjoy Sober Living in Thailand, on a large Alcohol and Drug free resort, attached to a Residential Rehab for Addictions and Trauma Recovery, then Holina on the gorgeous tropical island of Koh Phangan is a magnificent choice.

With a thriving 12 step community already here, and plenty of opportunities to grow your spiritual condition, Holina and the conscious community of Koh Phangan is a perfect space to launch your recovery further along the bridge to normal living.

Come and explore the magical features of our island and all it offers, globally acknowledged as an international destination of choice for those seeking yoga, mindfulness / wellness, and holistic health, as well as it’s organic tropical vibes.

Holina is an entirely alcohol and drug free residential resort on Koh Phangan, and therefore living on such a beautiful beachside resort really is the perfect opportunity for our residents to really get the most out of their newfound life and recovery.
We cater for our Sober Living stays from one month and beyond. Most of our residents typically stay 3 to 6 months. 

If you are enquiring about Sober Living from a different facility, then we ask you have a minimum of 3 months continuous recovery and to be confident in your ability to maintain it. We are delighted to help you deepen your recovery experience, but you do need to able to maintain it initially. If you do not meet the 90 days criteria then we may suggest you begin with some Holina Primary care first, before you proceed into Sober Living. This is evaluated through our assessments.

We offer two levels of Sober Living

Standard Sober Living at $3720 + 7% Sales Tax = US$3980.40 for half board (breakfast and either lunch or supper). 
Enhanced Sober Living at $5350 + 7% Sales Tax. = US$5724.50 for full board (breakfast, lunch and supper). 

Standard Sober Living residents are invited to attend our early morning “Just For Today” Groups, as well as Yoga and other fitness activities. Furthermore, they’re encouraged to attend early evening scheduled activities, such as sauna, ice baths, sound healing, movie nights and the daily Closing Group (Step 10).
We also encourage all Sober Living residents to attend least 5 or 6 groups per week, and they are welcome to attend all the 12 that are scheduled (almost all of which are in the mornings). Plus they are encouraged to come along on the weekly Saturday excursions. 

They will be assigned a Case Manager for a weekly one to one, and be expected to manage their own time in a sober and respectful way (waking up in the mornings and participating in life, and always returning home by 11pm). Otherwise, you are largely left to your own space to further develop and explore your recovery and spirituality around the island. 

Sober Living is structured but also requires significant personal recovery before you can be considered as suitable. 

Enhanced Sober Living is the same but with an additional 4 person centred 1 to 1 psychotherapy and somatic engagements, per week which is particularly relevant to people with deeper trauma and other emotional or behavioural challenges to continue to work through. 

All our Sober Living Residents remain engaged in the Addiction Recovery Program, and for those in Enhanced Sober Living they are included in the non-Addiction work too.

All Sober Living residents are expected to attend a minimum of 4 12 step meetings a week. 

Sober Living

Sober Living is the original concept of serving people with longer-term recovery goals, by continuing to serve them in their addiction treatment but also giving them the freedom to develop their passions and purpose in life in their free time.
Sober Living as a solution to support long-term recovery is very cost-effective and offers a great level of safety, comfort, and alcohol / narcotic free support.

Whilst the Sober Living program is no longer intense like primary and secondary care, the residents are expected to maintain their recovery and attend to certain agreed levels of service or contribution, somewhere on the island or in some way being of use to the planet on your journey back to yourself in the spirit of contribution and away from the selfishness of our addictions.

But of course, Sober Living at Holina is extremely popular because of the Holina resort and its private beach. So many people join our Sober Living program simply for access to our magnificent resort and its facilities. 

Holina Healthy Living

Our Sober Living concept is hosted here due to the popularity of the Holina Family feeling, the extensive Conscious Community within the Island of Koh Phangan Thailand and of course the stunning beauty of this tropical paradise island.
 
Many of our graduates want to stay around the Holina Family so by creating a safe space where Sober Living residents can mix with the Island’s recovery community who are likely to be living in a space of spiritual principles and values already, the 2 communities inspire and aspire to each other to attain even more joy in their lives during their sober living journey.

It’s a win-win situation.

Holina Addiction Treatment Center FAQ's

If the substances you consume, or your behaviour or attitude is getting you into trouble or having a negative impact on your life, The River Rehab may be an important option for you to consider. Not only will we provide you with the tools that you need, but we will also give you access to customized levels of treatment that will enable you to literally reinvent your life.

We treat the disease of addiction, which incorporates all substance dependencies, including alcohol, cocaine, crack, crystal meth, ketamine, heroin, methadone, Subutex, morphine, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, psychedelics, ecstasy, solvents, and legal (prescribed) medication addictions, as well as other process and behavior addictions such as sex, love, gaming, gambling, internet or technologies, shopping, food, exercise and co-dependency. We believe that addiction is a disease of the mind, from which we can recover, one day at a time.

We are a residential rehab experience, with a minimum of one month commitment. People are not permitted to come by and visit or look around unless an appointment has been made. This is to protect the privacy and the space for our residents and to keep them safe. We are not a day care facility or outpatient service. We only serve those people looking for a fully immersive experience.

Our minimum commitment is 4 weeks. Even considering that it’s possible to overcome an addiction with any long-lasting effect for any shorter period is simply unrealistic, and likely unethical. Whilst our minimum commitment is 4 weeks, many, probably most of our residents stay 6 to 8 weeks and some up to 12 weeks (the full program length).

We will discourage this until after week 9. Whilst it may be nice to think that your family are supportive and want to encourage you, it’s a huge distraction from treatment for the individual, and our collective observations (in other facilities) are that in over 66% of these visits it leads to disruption, early self-discharge, and often relapse. That said, please know we’re a treatment centre driven by your success and we do know that your success is significantly improved when family members are engaged in their loved one’s recovery. So if you would like to organise either a zoom call with your family and your primary therapist, or an actual family visit on site, we would encourage this towards the end of your treatment experience.

We appreciate that you will be away from your loved ones for fairly long periods of time and that connection to them is important. Sometimes work or business calls are important to you. We will always find ways to help you facilitate these relationships. We have super-fast internet, and all the bedrooms have Smart TVs running YouTube and Netflix etc.


It is our policy that in today’s modern world, our residents need to find recovery with their smart devices to hand. We are against hiding technology from our residents as it’s a useful tool to support our recovery as well as our lifestyles.


Therefore, unless you specifically require a digital detox, . you can use your phone, pad and laptop in your room outside of the scheduled structure and groups, meaning that you can use your devices before morning activities, after the daily groups, and even in between the scheduled program (for instance, lunchtime) should you choose to.

Yes you may. Whilst we’d love to encourage you to quit whilst youre with us, we acknowledge that many people still smoke So you may smoke on the balcony of your room, or in the dedicated smoking sala in the lounge area.

Koh Phangan is a warm climate all year round. It is typically in the low to mid 30s*c / low 90s*f during the day, and at night it rarely goes under 23*c / mid 70s*f Sometimes it rains, usually for up to 30 minutes, which serves at cooling down the air. Occasionally it may rain for longer periods (typically in October or November), though this doesn’t interfere with treatment particularly.

Pack as if you were coming on holiday to a tropical paradise island in Thailand – which, of course you are. Summer style clothing is recommended (light shirts, T-shirts, shorts, comfortable shoes, sneakers, flip flops / sandals, etc, light, breathable clothing and swimwear for the pool and the beaches. Most of us wear underwear, shorts, T-shirts / Tank Tops / Vests, sneakers, sandals & tongs / flip flops. Active wear for workouts and other fitness activities including swimming, sports shoes, and light wear for yoga. We do physical activities almost every day, so bring a few pairs to allow for laundry times.

There is no need to dress formal or smart. Everything is relaxed, comfort focused and easy going. We have a safe to keep your valuables in, but expensive jewellery and other luxury items are unnecessary. Toiletries: Please bring your own toiletries and hygiene products, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, shaving materials, basic makeup, hairbrush, etc. Anything you forget we can purchase from local shops.

Medications: You are allowed to continue using your doctor-prescribed medications while in rehab, but please do bring proof of your prescription. Please keep all your pills in the original packaging so that they are not  to be unauthorized narcotics.

Kindly do not bring the following: Alcohol or drugs: It might seem self-explanatory, but some clients may try to sneak in a last-minute hit, fix, pill, can, bottle, etc. Your bags and belongings will be searched when you arrive at Holina. Alcohol or drug paraphernalia: This includes anything that advertises or glorifies the use of alcohol or drugs. This should also include items that display support for criminal acts including terrorism, sex, gambling, or other negatively perceived notions that could upset other residents.
Weapons: There is absolutely no need to bring any knives or weapons with you to Thailand or to treatment. They will be confiscated and destroyed. Toiletries that contain alcohol: Leave any alcohol-based products at home, such as certain mouthwashes, nail polish remover, perfumes, and aerosols.

We have 2 main Chef’s (supported by 2 other Thai chefs) – a Meat focused one and a Vegan Chef. You can advise us of any of your specific dietary needs and we can manage them. We’re used to having people with all types of needs. Nothing unusual there.

Our prices are all inclusive and dependent upon the style of room you choose – shared, single occupancy or private plunge pool villa. You can view our prices here

We don’t have any hidden costs, though there are some costs that should be aware of. We pay for any psychiatric assessments and other mental health professional visits. We ask you to pay for anything non detox or mental health related, including your medications.

We also ask that you have travel or medical insurance in place before you come to us. This is really for any non-detox or psychiatric related problems, like if you fall over and break your arm, or some other uncalculated trip to accident and emergency.

We don’t pay for your flights to and from Koh Samui Airport (USM), but we do cover the cost of getting you from the airport to Holina and we will pay for your return to the airport unless you check out against clinical advice. Typically, our clients spend between US$50 and $75 per month on personal items, such as snacks, sodas, cigarettes, some toiletries, etc, but it’s not necessary to spend any more. Even gift buying on this island is relatively cheap compared to the rest of the world.

At this time, residents of most countries around the world are able to come into Thailand and achieve a visa upon entry. We will advise you on this process. It’s very straight forwards.
If you extend your treatment and need a lon
ger visa then we will take care of this for you, and in most instances we will pay for all your visa extensions too. 

Currently, there are no requirements for any vaccines to come into Thailand. This includes COVID vaccines or any other historical vaccines previously required. So please don’t worry about this, unless you specifically want to be extra vaccinated.
