Gambling Addiction Treatment in Delhi — Hope Rehab & Wellness
What is Gambling Disorder?
Gambling disorder is a recognised behavioural addiction defined by persistent, recurrent gambling behaviour that leads to clinically significant impairment or distress. It often presents with financial loss, relationship conflict, secrecy and deterioration in work or academic performance. Gambling problems can include casino gambling, sports betting, online wagering, lotteries and peer-to-peer betting.
People typically seek help when debts accumulate, when dishonesty increases, or when daily functioning is affected. Our team uses validated screening tools and a thorough psychiatric and medical assessment to create a personalised treatment plan that addresses both behaviour and its root causes, such as mood disorders, trauma, or substance misuse.

What to Expect During Treatment
Admission begins with a confidential assessment and safety planning. Residential stays of 4–12 weeks are commonly recommended for moderate-to-severe cases; day-program and outpatient options are available for those with strong home supports. A typical pathway includes an initial medical and psychiatric review, regular individual CBT sessions, weekly family sessions, and daily group therapy for residential patients.
We emphasise practical skills: financial stabilization, impulse-control strategies and rebuilding routines alongside therapy to address underlying drivers such as depression, anxiety or substance use.
Evidence & Outcomes
Clinical research supports CBT and motivational approaches in reducing gambling behaviours and improving daily functioning. When appropriate, medications are used for co-occurring mood or impulse-control problems under psychiatric supervision. We track progress with standardized outcome measures and tailor aftercare to the individual to reduce risk of relapse.
