Gambling rehabilitation centres, or gambling treatment centres, specialise in helping people suffering from pathological gambling to recover and overcome their addiction. The process of treating gambling addiction in a rehabilitation centre includes the following steps and methods:
- Assessment and Diagnosis – The first step to quitting is to assess and diagnose the extent of addiction. The centre’s specialists will conduct a comprehensive assessment to help identify co-occurring problems such as anxiety, depression or other disorders.
- An individualised treatment plan is drawn up – each patient receives a personalised treatment plan, which includes goals and therapies highlighted based on the patient’s individual characteristics and current circumstances.
- Psychological therapy – psychotherapists have sessions with participants to help them understand the cause and effect of their gambling. Therapy allows you to develop strategies to manage temptation and learn how to manage your gambling addiction.
- Group therapy is a method that allows patients to support each other and share experiences. Group psychotherapy helps to reduce feelings of responsibility and fear of judgement.
- Family therapy – including the family in the treatment process helps in rebuilding family relationships and gaining support from loved ones.
- Developing assurance skills – patients learn to develop skills that help them keep from gambling. They learn techniques to manage themselves, their desires, and their actions.
- Many programmes provide aftercare to help patients avoid relapse and stay away from gambling.
