Key figures: Thailand Rehab Price Index 2026
From our survey of the prices that addiction-treatment centers in Thailand publish, checked on 11 October 2026. The full method and caveats are on the Price Index page.
- US$11,834 is the median published entry price for 28 days of residential addiction treatment, across the 8 centers that publish a current 28 to 30 day price on their own website. The range is US$8,500 to US$21,933, and the middle half sits between US$9,925 and US$14,312.
- Adding directory estimates for centers that publish no price gives a median of US$11,667 across 15 centers (range US$5,000 to US$21,933).
- We checked 43 centers: 36 private and 7 government. Only 13 private centers publish a price on their own website, and only 8 of those publish a current 28 to 30 day addiction price. 14 publish no usable price anywhere.
- Medical detox is fully included at 3 of 8 centers and partly included at 5 of 8. Doctor or psychiatrist care is stated as included at 6 of 8.
- Stays of 8 to 12 weeks cost 8.5% to 15.1% less per 28 days at the centers that publish several lengths.
- The one government institution that publishes a fee schedule, Thanyarak Khon Kaen Hospital, charges non-Thai nationals 600 baht a day for nursing during treatment, twice the 300 baht charged to Thai patients.
Prices are as published by centers, not audited, and converted at THB 33.558 per US$1 (Bank of Thailand reference rate, 9 October 2026). The headline set is small, so please describe the figures as published prices rather than what patients pay.
