Is gambling causing problems in your life? Maybe you’re in bad shape financially. Maybe gambling is getting in the way of relationships with people you love. Maybe it’s interfering with work or school. Your loved ones may wonder if you have a gambling addiction. You may be using gambling to escape the stress or emptiness of everyday life—but when you’re done gambling, your problems are still there.

If gambling is getting in the way of what you care about most, you can make changes, and we can help. The Gambling Clinic will work with you to create changes and help you arrest the harm gambling has caused. Harm to your wallet. Harm to your relationships. Harm to you.

You can create something different in your life

It can be hard to make a change, and you have taken the first step by looking into The Gambling Clinic. Since 1999, we have helped more than 2,500 people get control of their gambling and build the lives they want. Most people who work with us see clear improvement after 8 to 10 meetings with us. We can partner with you, too, and help you become the person you want to be. Contact us to discuss what that could look like for you. 

The Gambling Clinic has helped more than 2,500 people get control of their gambling

If you decide to get help, you’ll meet individually with a member of our staff who has extensive training in working with people with gambling problems, which some people refer to as gambling disorder or gambling addiction. You’ll decide and focus on changes you want to make, and together you will develop a plan for making the changes. You can also get support from a member of our peer recovery specialist team—someone who knows firsthand about overcoming addiction and will walk alongside you as you make changes in your life.

Two months from now, your life could be better than it is today. Contact The Gambling Clinic to get started building the life you want.

The Gambling Clinic has an experienced, science-informed team and a proven track record of helping people overcome gambling problems. Our program is guided by research, and we continually improve and refine our services. Founded in 1999, we are the longest-serving clinic in the country dedicated solely to treating gambling problems. On average, people who complete our program experience an 87% reduction in their gambling and near remission of their gambling-related harms. As people gain control over their gambling, they also see meaningful decreases in anxiety and depression and increases in general well-being.

Anyone in Tennessee can receive treatment from The Gambling Clinic, regardless of the ability to pay. We have in-person locations in Memphis, Nashville, and Johnson City, and telehealth is available to people throughout the state.

Clients of The Gambling Clinic typically have about 8 to 10 individual sessions with a therapist. The therapist works with you to understand the place of gambling in your life and to develop a plan for any changes you want to make. You can decide whether to meet in person at one of our clinics in Memphis, Nashville, or Johnson City, or via telehealth.

Between meetings with your therapist, you can get support from a peer recovery specialist—someone who has lived experience overcoming an addiction.

Your loved ones can also reach out to The Gambling Clinic. We can help them understand gambling problems and how to support you in the recovery process.

We are with you every step of the way.
