Gambling addiction
More than symptom management, our one-on-one programs focus on understanding the person behind the pattern – and supporting lasting transformation.
Shift the odds. Back yourself.
Gambling addiction can quietly unravel your life – impacting finances, relationships, and mental wellbeing. Our one-on-one residential programs go beyond behaviour to address the underlying causes, providing the tools, structure, and support needed to rebuild control and restore balance.
Find the right support.
Has gambling gone from a distraction to something more damaging?
What may have started as entertainment – a release, a thrill, or a coping mechanism – can shift quietly into something more consuming. Gambling addiction isn’t just about money. It’s about what’s happening underneath: the emotional triggers, the stress, the need to escape or feel in control.
Gambling addiction often develops alongside other challenges like anxiety, depression, or substance use. It can affect self-worth, relationships, and financial stability – leaving people feeling stuck, ashamed, or isolated.
But there is a way through. At Noosa Confidential, we treat gambling addiction with evidence, not judgement. Our residential programs go deeper than surface behaviours, helping guests (and their families) understand the underlying patterns – and break them for good.
Your journey to stability
Your Plan, Your Way
No assumptions. No one-size-fits-all.
We begin by understanding you — your story, your history, your symptoms, your goals. Then we get clinical clarity by reviewing past reports, running targeted assessments, and uncovering what’s happening beneath the surface. From there we tailor a program built around what you truly need: the right duration, the right therapies, the right medical and psychological support.
Behavioural detox & Nervous System reset
Behavioural addiction hijacks your brain’s reward system and raises stress levels. We guide you through a behavioural detox to reduce urges and calm your nervous system with clinical and somatic therapies proven to help manage withdrawal.
Aftercare
Recovery continues after you leave. Every client receives 12 months of structured aftercare, including a dedicated mentor for ongoing support, accountability, and real-world guidance - wherever life takes you.

FAQs
FAQ's about gambling addiction
When gambling shifts from entertainment to compulsion, it can impact every aspect of life — from finances and mental health to relationships and self-worth. This section answers common questions about gambling addiction, signs to look for, and how to access meaningful, personalised support for yourself or someone you care about.
How do you help someone with a gambling addiction?
We don’t just treat the gambling - that’s the symptom, not the problem. Gambling addiction usually masks deeper emotional and psychological issues. We get to the root causes, break the cycle, and equip you with personalised strategies to regain control and rebuild healthier coping skills.
Is excessive gaming bad?
Gaming isn’t bad on its own, but it’s designed to be addictive and easy — offering quick hits that don’t require real effort. The danger is when it starts replacing meaningful parts of your life like relationships, learning, or work. In moderation, it’s harmless. But when the game’s thrill becomes the chase instead of real life, that’s where it becomes problematic.
Do you treat co-occurring disorders?
Yes, our integrated approach addresses both mental health and substance use issues simultaneously.
Do you provide aftercare support?
Yes, we offer 12 months of aftercare to support your ongoing recovery.
