TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on which visa to apply for as they plan to stay in Thailand for a minimum of 90 days for rehabilitation rather than tourism. There is a suggestion regarding a medical visa, although it's rarely used, and it may be possible to apply for a DTV visa if a treatment plan from the facility is provided.

There's a medical visa that you might qualify for, but it's so rarely used that it's hard to say. If you can get a treatment plan from the facility and can show a program over 6 months, you might be able to get a DTV.
