Struggling with Gambling Addiction? We're Here to Help You Take Control

Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling or gambling disorder, is a serious behavioural addiction where individuals lose control over their gambling habits, despite harmful consequences. The excitement of gambling, the hope of winning big, and the escape from daily stresses can create a dangerous cycle of binge gambling, financial ruin, and emotional turmoil.

At Nityanand Rehab Centre, we provide comprehensive treatment for gambling addiction, combining evidence-based therapies, personalised counselling, and holistic support. Our team of addiction specialists, therapists, and psychologists is dedicated to helping you break free from this addiction and regain control over your life.

What Is Gambling Addiction?

What Is Gambling Addiction?

Gambling addiction is characterised by compulsive gambling behaviour that interferes with personal relationships, work, and overall well-being. Despite experiencing negative consequences like financial loss, relationship strain, and mental health problems, individuals with gambling addiction often continue to gamble. The rush of winning or the desire to chase losses can lead to an uncontrollable urge to gamble.

Signs of Gambling Addiction:

  • Preoccupation with gambling - thinking about gambling frequently
  • Inability to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
  • Chasing losses - gambling to win back lost money
  • Spending more money and time on gambling than initially intended
  • Lie or conceal gambling from family, friends, or colleagues
  • Relationship issues and conflicts related to gambling
  • Financial problems due to gambling debts
  • Psychological distress (guilt, anxiety, depression) is linked to gambling behaviour

Signs & Symptoms of Gambling Addiction

Some key signs of gambling addiction include:

  • Cravings or constant urges to gamble
  • Loss of control over the amount of time and money spent on gambling
  • Compulsive gambling, even when there are negative impacts on relationships or finances
  • Lying or hiding gambling habits from loved ones
  • Escalating gambling behaviour in an attempt to win back losses
  • Financial distress, including borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or guilt caused by gambling
  • Emotional instability - mood swings, irritability, or restlessness when unable to gamble

If you recognise these symptoms in yourself or someone close to you, seeking professional help is essential for recovery.

How We Treat Gambling Addiction at Nityanand Rehab Centre

At Nityanand Rehab Centre, we offer a holistic treatment approach to gambling addiction, providing comprehensive care through individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, and holistic therapies.

1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a core treatment for gambling addiction. It helps individuals:

  • Identify and challenge irrational thought patterns that drive compulsive gambling
  • Develop healthier coping strategies for managing stress and avoiding gambling triggers
  • Restructure distorted beliefs such as "I'm due for a win" or "I'll win back what I lost"

2. Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)

MET helps individuals identify their personal reasons for quitting gambling and boosts motivation to change. This therapy:

  • Encourages individuals to explore their desire for change
  • Strengthens commitment to long-term recovery
  • Establishes personal goals for a healthier, gambling-free life

3. Family Therapy and Education

Addiction affects not only the individual but also their family. We offer family therapy to:

  • Educate family members about the nature of gambling addiction
  • Improve communication and help families create a supportive environment for recovery

Group therapy offers a supportive network of individuals who share similar struggles. Peer support is invaluable in:

  • Sharing experiences and learning coping strategies from others in recovery
  • Providing emotional support in a non-judgmental space
  • Reducing isolation and fostering accountability in recovery

5. Holistic Therapies and Lifestyle Support

We integrate holistic treatments that complement traditional therapies, helping to:
