Making the decision to join any residential rehab program is a big deal. It’s a huge step for most people to want to face their addiction problems and beat it to even open up, and begin asking for the help and support they need.
For loved ones looking to help a family member or friend, its an equally big step to starting the detox, addiction treatment and recovery. With so many areas effected of life effected by drug or alcohol abuse, its completely understandable that you will have several questions, concerns and even doubts if a rehabilitation program can help.
Below are a few of the most common questions that we get asked about our rehabilitation services and aftercare programs.
How Do I Get To Thailand?
Miracles Asia will assist you with arranging your flights to Phuket. There are many direct options, or you can connect via Bangkok. Both airports have international and domestic terminals.
A flight from Bangkok to Phuket is less than 90 minutes, however in most cases for clients traveling from Australia, UK, USA & Europe find it simple to arrange a direct flight to Phuket.
What Kind Of Visa Will I Need?
All Westerners receive an automatic, free one-month tourist visa on arrival at the airport in Thailand. When the month has expired Miracles Asia will arrange for a further one-month extension at the local immigration office. If you wish to extend further than 60 days Miracles Asia will easily facilitate this for you.
