Overcoming This Damaging Addiction
What Is Gambling Addiction?
Gambling can be an addiction, just like drug or alcohol abuse. It can take a financial and physical toll on those who struggle with this kind of addiction. Our private approach to gambling rehab includes various behaviour therapies to identify triggers and develop healthy coping skills. Escaping the weight of gambling addiction is possible with professional support.
How Does Someone Develop Gambling Addiction?
Gambling addiction does not develop overnight and has no single cause. Instead, it results from a combination of many variables, including environmental influences, childhood trauma, and mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
Gambling activates the reward system in the brain, which is powered by dopamine, making a gambler experience a sort of “high.” When a person gambles repeatedly, the brain becomes dependent on the flood of dopamine over time. Without it, the brain ceases to function properly. The emotional highs of winning also become intense as the risk of losing money increases.
Compulsive gambling habits can be broken with the right gambling addiction treatment plan in place.
Signs of a Gambling Problem
Some people with compulsive gambling problems are compelled to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the desired excitement. They often have frequent thoughts of gambling, chase their losses, and use gamble as a coping mechanism for difficult emotions or situations in their lives. They likely become irritable or restless when trying to cut down or stop the activity. When they run out of gambling money, they may rely on others to get funds.
If you or someone you care about displays at least four of the symptoms of gambling addiction, we encourage you to get help to prevent the habit from continuing down a dangerous path.
Is Gambling Addiction Curable?
With the right treatment and support system, it is possible to overcome gambling addiction. If someone you know is dealing with this destructive addiction, encourage them to seek professional help and be there for them throughout their treatment. Support from friends and family can be crucial to a person’s gambling addiction recovery. If you’re the one who has a gambling problem, understand that help is available.
