Free Psychological Test

It isn’t easy to admit that you have a problem.

It’s even more difficult to say it out loud.

"I am a compulsive gambler."

The first time you say these words, they will terrify you. The next time you say them, the healing journey toward recovery begins.

Welcome to Williamsville Wellness, the nation’s premier residential treatment facility for individuals who struggle with compulsive gambling.

If you’re like most people who come to us, you’ve already tried to conquer the gambling impulses on your own. Friends and family have most likely tried to help you too. However, problem gambling is like any addiction, and the compulsion to engage in the behavior is more powerful than your ability to "just stop."

  
We Understand.

For the compulsive gambler, laying a bet generates the same effects as an addictive drug: There’s the high that comes with winning, the chase to regain that buzz over and over again, and the emotional crash that follows your losses…not to mention the devastating consequences it has on your life.

In fact, how many times have you asked yourself this question: "Why can’t I just stop?"

The truth is…

It’s not that easy.

Like addicts who abuse substances, compulsive gamblers also suffer from difficult withdrawal symptoms when they try to "just quit." That’s why support and treatment that is specially-designed for problem gamblers is the first critical step in the recovery process.

We can help.

We’re often asked, "What’s the difference between recreational gambling and problem gambling?"


It’s a matter of degree.


If you enjoy an occasional game of poker with friends or look forward to Friday night Bingo, chances are that your gambling is a healthy social outlet. However, if gambling interferes with your relationships, your career, or your finances, you may need help to break the addiction.


Here’s the good news….

You can turn your life around.


What if you could walk through a door—without disgrace, judgment, or temptation—and walk out again with hope for a happier life? What if you were surrounded by people who have been where you are and can show you the way out of the darkness and hopelessness of gambling addiction? What would that mean to you? How would your life change?


At Williamsville Wellness, we’re dedicated to helping individuals and their families break free from the shadows of compulsive gambling. Whether you’re suffering from a gambling addiction or someone you love is a problem gambler, we’re here for you.
