Insights Into gambling addiction
Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling, is a condition that can severely impact your life. Despite successes in other areas of life and a strong desire to stop, individuals with a gambling addiction feel an uncontrollable urge to gamble – often leading to severe personal and financial consequences. Recognised in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR), gambling addiction affects the brain’s reward system in a similar way to substance and other behavioural addictions. Even those with immense self-discipline can find themselves unable to quit gambling without professional help. At Harbor London, we understand the complexities of this disorder and provide the whole-person, curated care needed for enduring recovery.

How we work
When gambling becomes a problem
Gambling, at its core, is the act of risking something valuable for the chance of a greater reward. For most casual gamblers, this activity is harmless, providing a brief thrill followed by probable disappointment when the stakes are lost. Many people gamble infrequently – placing bets on significant sporting events or engaging in occasional games without serious repercussions. However, for some, especially highly successful individuals, gambling can evolve into a problematic behaviour.
Gambling misuse often begins with individuals using it as a coping mechanism for intense stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma-related conditions, and can co-occur alongside related disorders such as substance abuse, alcohol or drug addiction. The adrenaline rush and temporary thrill of placing bets can become a powerful draw, leading to more frequent and higher stakes gambling. Over time, this behaviour can become entrenched; turning into a compulsive need to gamble more than intended, and concealing the extent of the activity from loved ones and colleagues.
As gambling becomes a dependency, it starts to dominate thoughts and actions. The obsessive pursuit of the next ‘hit’ can lead to increasingly risky behaviours in an attempt to recapture that initial excitement. This cycle can severely impact mental health, exacerbating mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. The consequences of gambling addiction extend beyond the individual, affecting marriages, business relationships, and financial stability. Trust and intimacy are often jeopardized, and reputations built over the years can be destroyed in a quest to continue gambling.

Treating the whole person, not just the gambling addiction
Gambling addiction often coexists with other mental health conditions; that’s why our residential treatment focuses on the whole person, ensuring curated care that addresses both the symptoms and root causes. When treating compulsive gambling, it’s vital to understand your unique psychological, emotional, and physical needs. This allows us to develop an individual treatment plan that includes one-to-one therapy sessions with experienced psychologists and psychiatrists.
Our multidisciplinary medical team also includes nutritionists, personal trainers, and wellness specialists, here to support your overall health and wellbeing. For instance, a balanced diet and regular exercise can significantly improve mood, and reduce the anxiety and depression often closely linked with gambling addiction. Incorporating mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques helps develop coping mechanisms, reducing the likelihood of relapse.
This treatment philosophy emphasises the importance of restoring relationships and rebuilding trust. Where appropriate, we’ll facilitate open communication and healing, helping repair the bonds that may have been damaged by the urge to gamble. The whole-person approach means that, when you do leave us, you’ll not only be free from the compulsion to gamble but also equipped with the tools and support needed for sustained recovery and a fulfilling life. By treating you as a whole and unique person, we empower you to regain long-term control over your own life.
