Williamsville Wellness is raising awareness of Problem Gambling Awareness Month, helping people identify if they have a problem with gambling and if so, how to get treatment.

Hanover, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/01/2015 -- All but two states have some form of legalized gambling, and 15% of Americans are known to gamble twice a week. This sadly means that between 2 and 3% of the population meet the criteria for problem gambling, where their gambling affects major areas of their life, creating social, financial, emotional and psychological issues. March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month, and Williamsville Wellness is helping to promote this important awareness campaign.

Williamsville Wellness offers a uniquely holistic approach to dealing with problem gambling, combining approaches to ensure that rehabilitation is always patient led. They have released alarming statistics suggesting that more than two million people at any one time are suffering from a gambling problem, figures far too great for any one service to deal with.

They have also created a suite of video materials offering insights into problem gambling and hallmark symptoms that can help people identify it before it gets too out of hand, as well as giving insight into gambling addiction treatment, and what people can do to recommend someone seek treatment.

A spokesperson for Williamsville Wellness explained, "We have all the tools, approaches and staff to help people rehabilitate, but people must first know they have a problem to take advantage of our services. Gambling is especially dangerous because it affects the same neurochemical networks in the brain as drugs do, releasing endorphins, adrenaline and dopamine, and building addiction in much the same way. But because this effect is indirect and psychological, people often fail to see the link until it's too late. That's why we are promoting March as Problem Gambling Awareness Month, to help people get a handle on what exactly problem gambling is. If people can identify problem gambling in its earlier stages, it is far easier to treat and manage effectively."

Williamsville Wellness has diversified their treatment plans with three lengths of stay designed to help people combat different levels of gambling addiction effectively and economically.

Hanover, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/29/2015 -- Gambling addiction can be ruinous to people's lives, as their livelihood is drained away chasing the thrill of a win as progressively more damaging losses are ignored. Gambling addiction is estimated to affect around 6 million people. Addiction is measured statistically on a scale from problem to pathological, and surprisingly, young adults are more likely to suffer addiction than older generation, due to a lifetime of game playing masking the very real consequences of gambling. Williamsville Wellness is a specialist rehabilitation clinic for addicts that has released new treatment plans to provide optimized care for all severities of addiction.

The care plans vary between fourteen to twenty eight days, and each has a tailored program with core modules and tailored structures designed to match the needs of individual patients. The rehabilitation center uses an intensive and holistic approach which aims to treat the root causes and effect permanent change.

The three plans are expounded in detail on their website, nongambler, along with detailed information regarding the rehab center, their staff and reputation. The website even includes an insurance checker to help people cover the cost of their treatment.

A spokesperson for Williamsville Wellness explained, "We are committed to helping everyone with a gambling problem stop gambling and start living, which is why we have diversified our treatment options to help people on the full spectrum of gambling addiction, from problem to chronic to pathological gamblers. By doing so, we can effectively help to treat each case in the most economical way possible while ensuring a rigorous approach with transformative results.
