History
The Cabin treatment center was founded in 2009. The center provides both short and long-term inpatient care with Western-trained medical staff. Residential inpatient programs lasting from 28 days to three months are offered at the center, which holds 50 beds between two sites. The ages of patients at the center ranges from 18 to 65. The Cabin does not publicly disclose its location as part of its policy to protect patients' privacy. In 2011, The Cabin experienced an influx of clients from West Australia. This increase has made Australians the largest segment of the center's international clientele. In 2012, the center began expansion on the site to add 16 more beds. In 2013, The Cabin treated 44 patients from Singapore. The Cabin has treated several celebrities and athletes including, Pete Doherty, Michael Barrymore, Nathan Baggaley, Cat Marnell, Chris Maund, Grant Denyer, and Gail Porter.

Treatment methods
The Cabin uses both modern and holistic rehabilitation methods, for both chemical (drugs and alcohol) and process (sex, gambling, and gaming) addictions. It also treats co-occurring mental health disorders, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The center claims a non-religious approach combining the AA 12-step method, cognitive behavioral therapy, and physical exercise tailored to patients' needs. In addition, the program facilitates the three circles method by using abstinence and routine as tools in rehabilitation. Weekly activities such as expressive therapy, fishing, rafting, rock climbing and elephant trekking are included as part of the recovery process.
