Why Get Help for Gambling?

Through our work, we have found that those who complete a gambling-focused therapy program were able to reduce the symptoms of a gambling addiction. In addition, people experience an increase in overall well-being and a decrease in depression and anxiety.

When you complete treatment, you’ll be on the path to regain control over your finances, rekindle broken relationships, and learn to find more joy in other areas of your life again. The road to recovery may be challenging, but the rewards are immeasurable, offering a chance at a brighter and more fulfilling future for you and your loved ones.

Key signs that you would benefit from gambling help include:

• When gambling has created or is related to your financial distress
• When gambling has created conflicts in your key relationships
• If you find yourself wanting to gamble to relieve boredom or distress.

Based on our decades of experience and what we know from the research, one-on-one meetings with someone who understands gambling problems works. Working with someone who understands gambling harms and knows how to partner with you to make the changes you want to make can lead to lasting improvements.

At The Gambling Clinic^®, we know that everyone has different goals for decreasing the harm from their gambling behaviors. We will work with you to determine what changes will give you control back and prevent negative consequences resulting from your gambling. We do not require people to make abstinence goals.

We also know that people who can commit to at least eight meetings or sessions with a trained professional are most likely to realize improvement and be more prepared to retain those improvements.

Our team can provide a network of individuals who understand your struggle and can give encouragement and guidance.

These new relationships can help keep you on track during tough times and celebrate your victories, ensuring you never have to face your gambling addiction alone. Together, we can help you achieve the positive changes you seek.
