-
Hiding gambling or lying to loved ones
-
Chasing losses, believing the next bet will fix things
-
Feeling restless, anxious, or low when not gambling
-
Strain on finances, often leading to debt or conflict
-
Problems at work, in study, or in relationships because of gambling

Spending increasing amounts of time or money to keep gambling
If this feels familiar, you are not alone. It means your body and mind are asking for support. We care for the whole person, your health, your emotions and the experiences that sit behind your addiction.

At Malvern Private Hospital
we offer a 28 Day Private Rehab Program
We offer a 28 day inpatient private rehab program for behavioural addictions such as gambling dependence. Our hospital based program provides structured, confidential care focused on breaking addictions and restoring healthy relationships. By enquiring, you have already taken the first step toward recovery.
Gambling addiction does not have to define your future. Reaching out early makes recovery gentler and more effective. With the right support, it’s possible to rebuild trust, restore emotional balance, and create healthier connections.
Our Point of Difference
Trauma-Informed Recovery Program
At Malvern Private Hospital, we understand how difficult it can be to ask for help. Addiction often carries deep shame and fear shaped by past experiences.
Reaching out can feel like the hardest step of all.
That’s why our hospital-based program is built on compassion, dignity, and respect. We see you as a whole person, not as your addiction, and our treatment is delivered with honesty and therapeutic based treatments.
Our 28-day residential program provides a safe and structured environment to begin healing. Supported by experienced medical, nursing and psychotherapy staff who specialise in addiction, you will explore the underlying causes of your patterns and learn healthier ways to manage life, relationships and your emotional world.Â
Before you begin, you’ll meet with our team for a pre-admission assessment. This is your chance to share your story and ensure the program feels right for you.
We also check your private health insurance and costs upfront, so you have clarity and peace of mind from the start.
How We Support Your Recovery Journey
Healing the Whole Person
We offer:
1. Care from a multidisciplinary team of addiction specialist staff, consisting of medical practitioners, addiction consultants, psychiatrists and nursing staff.
2. Individual and group therapy to explore the reasons underlying addiction and to build understanding.
3. Restorative therapies such as yoga and art therapy.
4. Opportunities to connect with others through peer groups and in-house supports.
5. Relapse prevention planning, so you leave with practical tools and strategies for life after treatment.
6. Family and carer support and education, because recovery is stronger when your supporters understand the journey.
At Malvern Private Hospital, your story matters. We honour the courage it takes to seek help, and we are here to walk beside you as you take back your health, your confidence and your future.
How We Support Your Recovery
Supporting Someone with a Gambling Addiction?
We Can Help You
Reaching out for a loved one is an act of courage. Supporting someone through a gambling addiction can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face it alone.
Our experienced and compassionate team helps people understand the reasons behind their gambling addiction.
At Malvern Private Hospital, there is no judgement. We listen, we understand, and we provide safe, hospital-based care for both the individual and the people who care about them.
Do Gambling Addictions Happen
Slowly Or All At Once?

You do not have to wait until things feel unmanageable.
At Malvern Private Hospital, we offer safe, confidential, hospital-based care delivered with compassion and respect. You are not alone because we’re here to help you take the next step toward recovery.

How do I tell my GP or clinician about my gambling problem without being judged?
A good clinician treats gambling dependence as a medical issue, not a moral one. Be honest about how often you are gambling, and how it affects you. If you have felt judged before, ask for someone experienced in addiction medicine. You deserve an experienced team that listens and supports your recovery.
How do I protect my job and finances while I get rehab?
You are not alone in worrying about this. Most workplaces allow protected leave for health reasons. We can help you with planning and organising your leave. Your health comes first.
Will people look at me differently if they know I am an addict?
People who seek help often earn respect because it takes courage to face the problem. Recovery does not erase your past but reshapes your future. Those around you will see strength, not weakness, in your honesty and commitment to change.
