Nutrition & Cuisine

The River is the first and only recovery program in Asia with a focus on food, and we use it as a catalyst for change to empower your long term recovery.

We believe that health and nutrition are vital and we have a diverse 6-person culinary team that serves Western and Asian cuisine that is nutritionally beneficial while being both visually appealing and tasteful.

Produce is locally sourced and organic whenever possible and we are sensitive to dietary restrictions including gluten-free, halal, vegan or vegetarian.

We have partnered with David’s Kitchen, Asia’s top awarded restaurant, to make sure that the quality, taste, and the service is always top notch and never sacrificed just because you are in treatment.

Facility & Environment

The River is the longest standing, purpose-built, private addiction treatment facility in Asia. Thousands of people just like you have passed through our facility over the years to be treated for addiction.

We own and privately operate our world-class riverside facility which allows us to continually enhance and customize our program to best fit your needs and maintain our standards as one of the best and most effective addiction treatment centers in Thailand.
