Junkie Monastery

A hardcore drug addict enters the world's toughest rehab - Thamkrabok Monastery in Thailand.
Welcome to Thamkrabok Monastery in Thailand – home to the world's most successful and unusual drug rehabilitation programme.
This is Thailand's monastic answer to Western rehab centres - and we follow drug addicts in search of salvation as they fight to save their own lives. Junkie Monastery is an unflinching and inspiring look at the struggle to overcome addiction.
Over recent years Thailand has become the place for addicts from around the world to come and detox. Established in the 1950s, Thamkrabok temple is infamous as the most uncompromising but effective drug rehab centre in world. Here, addicts of heroin, crack and other substances endure a baptism of fire to get clean and restart their lives – there are no modern faculties or medicines but rather an emphasis on purging the body and healing the heart.
