Many of our clients love sports and want to continue staying active in recovery. However, in many sports environments, alcohol and substances often play a major role — especially during and after the game.
At The Warmth Rehab Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we show our clients that you can still enjoy sports like golf while living a clean and sober lifestyle. We offer guided golfing excursions as part of our holistic treatment approach.
Golf teaches valuable life skills, including:
• Patience & Persistence
• Integrity & Honesty
• Resilience & Emotional Control – learning to recover from a bad shot without letting it ruin the entire round. This directly relates to recovery: handling challenges without turning to drugs or alcohol.
• Communication & Team Support – encouraging and helping one another improve.
Many people in early recovery once associated golf with drinking. Our program shows them a new way to play — sober, confident, and connected with others in a healthy environment.
Golf courses in Thailand provide a world-class experience with caddies and golf carts. Our licensed addiction counselor, Matt Barnhardt, helps clients learn the game — even if they’ve never golfed before. Watching clients grow in confidence, build self-esteem, and experience joy while sober is an important part of their healing.
At The Warmth Rehab Center, recovery isn’t just about quitting substances — it’s about rediscovering life, fun, and purpose.
