Treatment For Gambling And Sexual Addictions

Transformations Treatment Center knows that addiction takes on many forms. In addition to drug and alcohol substance abuse, our center offers treatment for both gambling and sexual addictions. These addictions have proliferated since the introduction and obsession with the Internet.  Sexual addictions progress in the same manner as alcohol and drug addictions. What may have seemed an innocent peak at a pornography site may have turned into an obsession that is dividing you from your partner, interfering with your career, your health, or your education. Even placing bets on Internet gambling websites may have been where it began; but now your paycheck, your car, and your spouse have disappeared.

While we will certainly help you overcome your physical addiction, we are committed to helping you overcome your psychological addiction as well. Every addiction rehabilitation expert insists that counseling is a necessary component of achieving sustained abstinence. At Transformations Treatment Center our substance abuse counselors are highly trained and dedicated to helping you understand the psychological roots of your addiction. In one-on-one counseling you will gain the knowledge, tools, and strength to conquer your addiction.

Clients also attend 12-step meetings designed specifically for sexual and gambling addictions. Individuals learn how to identify triggers and stressors that lead to acting out and then learn the skills needed to recover from these addictions. Underlying issues that create the need for feelings to be “medicated” are treated and all the defenses being used pathologically to “protect” this addiction are uncovered.  Spirituality that has been damaged by the guilt and shame created by unhealthy cravings and behaviors are restored as individuals begin to celebrate their recovery.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with a gambling or sexual addiction, there is hope. Call the addictions specialists at Transformations Treatment Center today for information on how you or your loved one may begin taking the first steps towards recovery.
