Often when people think about problem gambling, they think about the loss of money and debt.

Our bespoke treatment programme is tailored to meet your individual needs and with a wide range of gambling addiction treatment services, our aim is to ensure you receive the highest standard of support for a sustained recovery.

There are many reasons people may start gambling. It often begins as a bit of fun with occasional wins. Recreational gambling assumes that losses are likely, and the odds are generally against winning. However, individuals with underlying stressors or addictive tendencies can fall into problem gambling. Many people use gambling as an escape from pressures in their personal or work lives, or to cope with loneliness or sadness.

As the thrill of a win can be exhilarating, it often leads to repeated attempts at gambling, especially when losses occur, creating a cycle that can be hard to break. This cycle heightens the risks and consequences for the individual, creating a need for gambling addiction help.

There are many symptoms of a gambling addiction. Some of which include:

• Showing obsessive behaviour over any type of gambling
• Failure to stop gambling
• Not being honest about your gambling habit
• The feeling of guilt after you have been gambling
• Selling your possessions or stealing to feed your habit

A gambling addiction can also have an impact on your relationships, job and social life. Recognising these symptoms early can help in seeking gambling addiction help.

Due to the repetitive cycle of winning and losing, highs and lows, gambling addictions that go untreated can consume people’s lives and affect those around them. Many gamblers avoid seeking help, attempting instead to recover financial losses or out of feelings of shame. Additionally, gamblers may struggle with other addictions, such as alcohol or drugs, which should be addressed concurrently to ensure comprehensive recovery.

Relationships with loved ones will likely be affected by gambling addictions, possibly leading to loneliness and isolation, making recovery more challenging. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or a loved one, New Leaf is here to support you with effective gambling addiction treatments.
