Family therapy through Together We Heal begins. Introduction to sober recreational activities and community-based recovery resources.
Step-down to OP or continued IOP with 1-2 sessions per week. Enrollment in the alumni program for lifelong support.

Watching someone you care about struggle with gambling addiction is painful. You may feel helpless, frustrated, or unsure what to say. The most important thing to understand is that gambling disorder is a medical condition — not a moral failing. Your loved one is not choosing to engage in harmful behavior; their brain chemistry has been altered by chronic gambling exposure.
You do not have to navigate this alone. Call (201) 781-8812 to speak with our admissions team about how to approach a loved one about treatment.
Refusal is common — and it does not mean the situation is hopeless. Most people who enter treatment do so after multiple conversations, not after one. Understanding the stages of change can help you stay patient and strategic.
