If you or a loved one are needing online gambling rehab, talk to the team at Myhab today.
One of the most significant changes to the gambling environment in the past 15 years has been the increased availability of Internet gambling, including mobile; Internet gambling is the fastest growing mode of gambling and is changing the way that gamblers engage with this activity. Due to the high level of accessibility, immersive interface and ease at which money can be spent, concerns have been expressed that Internet gambling may increase rates of disordered gambling.
Causes of online gambling addiction can be biological, social, and psychological. In other words, online gambling addiction is an emotional problem that can exacerbate or trigger mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. On top of that, other issues can arise like financial problems, debts, and even bankruptcy resulting in severe effects of online gambling addiction. Although online gambling is a serious problem, the addiction is treatable, especially with professional help for the team at Myhab.

What we offer
Based in Melbourne, Myhab understand when treating online gambling addiction involves therapy, medications, and self-help groups. Our treatment program helps a person with online gambling addiction develop impulse control in order to prevent a relapse. Individuals with online gambling addiction receive treatment in inpatient (residential) or outpatient settings.
Our inpatient rehabilitation program is most suitable for persons with a moderate to severe online gambling addiction, primarily because they need more structure in their daily activities. This is particularly useful for persons who are unable to avoid checking websites, apps, and platforms of gambling. Inpatient programs require patients to spend a set amount of time in a rehab centre, the length of the program ranges from 30 days to up to a year depending on the individual in care.
We also offer an outpatient rehabilitation program which is commonly used by persons with a mild addiction. In this program, patients attend classes and counselling sessions in the Myhab rehab facility, but they do not live here. Outpatient rehab is also a good option for persons who completed inpatient treatment.
