Addiction Treatment in Turkey 2026 under the Supervision of Dr. Al-Akkad – A Safe Therapeutic Journey to Restore Life and Mental Health
Why Is Turkey the Leading Destination for Addiction Treatment in 2026?
The field of addiction treatment in Turkey has witnessed remarkable development in recent years, to the point that Istanbul, Ankara, and Antalya have become among the world’s top cities receiving patients from Arab countries, especially from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and some European countries.
This high demand is not only due to modern rehab centers, but also because Turkey offers a unique combination of:
Modern psychiatry
International therapeutic protocols
Advanced technologies for addiction treatment
Medical teams who speak Arabic
A safe therapeutic environment away from social pressures
Modern techniques in treatment in addition to long-standing experience in psychotherapy
Honesty and credibility in treatment, with complete privacy and confidentiality
A comprehensive healthy environment that combines comfort, treatment, and privacy in the place of residence
At the forefront of this treatment sector is Dr. Al-Akkad, who personally supervises addiction treatment programs and case assessments, and works with a specialized medical team with extensive experience in psychiatry, addiction, and rehabilitation.
The Best Center for Addiction Treatment in Turkey
Why Does the Arab Patient Feel Safe Specifically in Turkey?
Unlike many other countries, the treatment system in Turkey offers an integrated environment that makes the patient feel at ease, especially patients coming from Gulf countries. The patient is not treated as a number within a medical system, but rather:
✔ The psychological aspect is fully considered
✔ Absolute privacy is respected
✔ An Arab-speaking team is provided who speaks the patient’s dialect
✔ Airport pick-up is arranged
✔ Suitable accommodation is provided
✔ Modern treatment is offered, reinforced with deep rehabilitation
This essential difference makes the addiction treatment journey in Turkey not just a medical experience, but a journey of reclaiming life.
What Is Addiction? And What Happens in the Brain?
Addiction is not merely getting used to a certain drug or behavior; it is a complex medical and psychological disorder that affects:
The brain
The nervous system
Behavior
Emotions
Decision-making ability
Unfortunately, many patients or their families believe that addiction is a weakness of willpower, which is scientifically incorrect. Studies confirm that:
Addiction reshapes brain chemistry.
It affects:
Reward centers
Motivation
Memory
The ability to control behavior
Emotional regulation
In other words: the patient cannot stop without specialized medical intervention.
This is what makes the role of Dr. Al-Akkad and his team essential, because treatment requires:
Detoxification
Controlling withdrawal symptoms
Treating anxiety and depression disorders
Behavioral rehabilitation
Cognitive training
Deep psychological support
Treatment begins with Dr. Al-Akkad’s medical team.
Why Is Demand from Gulf Patients for Treatment in Turkey Increasing?
Based on the experience of Dr. Al-Akkad’s team, most Arab patients who come for treatment mainly arrive from:
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates
Qatar
Kuwait
Bahrain
Sultanate of Oman
This is not due to poor services in their countries, but because:
1) Patients Prefer Privacy
The Turkish environment is far from their social circle, so the patient does not feel embarrassed.
2) No Social Stigma
Psychiatry is an essential part of the Turkish healthcare system.
3) Treatment Costs Are Lower Than in Europe
But of higher quality than in many Arab countries.
4) Availability of Arabic-Speaking Teams
Within Dr. Al-Akkad’s team there are:
Psychiatrists
Specialists
Nursing staff
Therapists
All are Arabic-speaking, which is very important for building trust.
5) Availability of Advanced Treatment Programs Not Found in Many Arab Countries
Such as:
TMS – Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
EEG – Electroencephalography
Neurofeedback
Virtual Reality Therapy (VR)
Sleep studies (Polysomnography)
Deep psychotherapy
Cognitive rehabilitation
The Role of Dr. Al-Akkad… An Integrated Medical and Humanitarian Approach
Dr. Al-Akkad personally supervises the assessment of every case upon arrival, and the following are carried out:
✔ Initial psychological interview
✔ Comprehensive medical evaluation
✔ Determining the level of addiction
✔ Identifying the type of withdrawal symptoms
✔ Designing an individualized treatment plan
At the same time, the patient is treated with full humanity and utmost respect.
The philosophy of Dr. Al-Akkad is based on:
“Every patient can return to life… but they need a team that truly understands them.”
Therefore, the team focuses on:
Building trust
Providing safety
Psychologically supporting the patient
Helping the patient understand themselves
Rebuilding their identity
Addressing the deep psychological causes behind addiction
The Medical Protocol Used in Addiction Treatment
The protocol of Dr. Al-Akkad includes:
1) Medical Assessment
Comprehensive lab tests + brain mapping + psychological examination + toxicology screening.
2) Detoxification
Controlling withdrawal symptoms.
3) Psychotherapy
Individual + group + behavioral sessions.
4) Cognitive Rehabilitation
Training memory – attention – problem-solving.
5) Emotion Regulation Exercises

6) Advanced Programs

7) Daily Follow-Up
With the Arab team + nursing staff.
8) Aftercare Plan
Ensuring the patient’s safe return to life.
The Arabic Team Service
One of the main reasons patients prefer treatment with Dr. Al-Akkad is that:
The team speaks fluent Arabic
Understands Arab culture
Understands the nature of addiction disorders in Arab patients
There is also a team who speaks English and French
24-hour support is provided
Honesty and transparency in handling and understanding the patient’s condition
Full privacy and confidentiality
Continuous follow-up after recovery and ongoing support
Why Does Addiction Treatment Require a Comprehensive Medical Protocol?
Addiction treatment is not a simple prescription taken from a pharmacy, nor a basic program in which the patient stays for a week or two and then leaves.
Addiction is a complex disease that affects:
The brain
The nervous system
Hormones
Behavior
Decision-making
Emotions
Memory
Perception of reality
Therefore, real treatment requires a comprehensive medical protocol that goes through precise steps, under the supervision of specialists in:
Addiction medicine
Psychiatry
Neurology
Endocrinology
Withdrawal management
Rehabilitation
Clinical psychology
This is what distinguishes Dr. Al-Akkad’s program, which combines:
✔ Modern medicine
✔ Psychotherapy
✔ Cognitive rehabilitation
✔ Advanced neuro-technologies
✔ And meticulous human follow-up
First: Comprehensive Medical and Psychological Assessment
This stage is the cornerstone of Dr. Al-Akkad’s program, and includes:
🔹 1) Diagnostic Psychological Interview
The patient sits with the psychiatrist and with Dr. Al-Akkad – usually on the first day – to assess:
Type of substance used
Duration of addiction
Causes of addiction
General psychological state
Presence of depression, anxiety, trauma, or sleep disorders
Presence of psychotic symptoms or behavioral disorders
Readiness for treatment
Family support
Psychological and physical risks
🔹 2) Comprehensive Physical Assessment
This includes a full physical examination and measurement of vital signs:
Blood pressure
Pulse
Respiratory rate
Weight
Oxygen saturation
Initial urine test
Level of consciousness
🔹 3) Advanced Laboratory Tests
This is one of the most important elements that many competing centers do not provide, and includes:
✔ Complete Blood Count (CBC)
To identify anemia and infections.
✔ Liver Function Tests (LFTs)
Because most substances place a heavy burden on the liver.
✔ Kidney Function Tests (KFTs)
Because some substances cause dehydration and kidney damage.
✔ Electrolytes, blood sugar, and energy profile (Electrolytes + Blood Glucose)
To determine the body’s balance before starting treatment.
✔ Screening for sexually transmitted infections
HIV – Hepatitis B & C – Syphilis (VDRL)
These tests are essential to protect both the patient and the medical staff.
✔ Toxicology Screen / Drug Panel
To detect the type of drug and its concentration.
✔ General urinalysis
To detect any infections or urinary problems.
Second: Detox Phase
This is the most difficult and sensitive phase in addiction treatment, and it is a stage the patient cannot safely go through alone.
In Dr. Al-Akkad’s program, it is carried out by:
✔ A team specialized in withdrawal management
✔ 24-hour monitoring
✔ Safe medications
✔ Techniques that help reduce pain
✔ Providing psychological comfort to the patient
What Happens During the Detox Phase?
The body begins to eliminate the addictive substance
The patient experiences physical and psychological disturbances
Medications are administered to control symptoms
Vital signs are closely monitored
Continuous psychological support is provided
Withdrawal symptoms differ according to the type of addiction, for example:
Opiates: severe pain + intense craving + vomiting + sweating
Alcohol: tremors + agitation + high blood pressure
Stimulants: severe depression + extreme fatigue
Benzodiazepines: tension + anxiety attacks + insomnia
Why Is This Phase Dangerous?
Because it can cause:
Electrical imbalances
Heart rhythm disturbances
Agitation episodes
Sudden depression
Suicidal tendencies
Therefore, the presence of Dr. Al-Akkad’s medical team makes this phase 100% safe.
In weak centers, the patient may be left alone…
But here:
The patient is not left alone for even a single minute.
Third: Deep Psychotherapy Phase
After detoxification, psychotherapy truly begins.
This is the most important part of the program, because:
Addiction starts in the brain… and ends in the brain.
It includes:
1) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Which treats:
Distorted thoughts
Anxiety
Frustration
Weak psychological defenses
Poor impulse control
2) Group Therapy
Helps the patient to:
Realize that their problem is not unique
Draw strength from others’ experiences
Get rid of feelings of guilt
3) Individual Therapy with the Psychiatrist
Confidential sessions during which:
The roots of addiction are uncovered
Traumas are treated
Childhood disorders are addressed
Life course is adjusted
4) Family Therapy
When needed, the family is guided on:
How to deal with the patient
How to support recovery
Warning signs of relapse
Fourth: Modern Neuro-Therapeutic Techniques
This is one of the strongest points of distinction in Dr. Al-Akkad’s program compared to all competitors.
1) Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (DEEP TMS / TMS)
Used to treat:
Addiction
Depression
Compulsive cravings
Mood disorders
Anxiety
It works to:
✔ Reorganize brain activity
✔ Improve mood
✔ Reduce compulsive cravings

2) Electroencephalography (EEG – QEEG)

Controlling anxiety
Breaking the conditioned association with the drug
Training the patient to resist cravings

Treats:

Memory
Compulsive cravings
Weak executive control
6) Sleep Study (Polysomnography – PSG)
Essential for cases suffering from:

Fifth: Cognitive and Behavioral Rehabilitation Phase
This is the phase that actually returns the patient to life.
It includes:
Memory training
Enhancing attention
Improving decision-making
Building problem-solving skills
Improving the ability to regulate emotions
Training the patient on relapse prevention strategies
Developing a healthy lifestyle
Emotional regulation
