What is gambling addiction and how does it start?
Gambling addiction is a very serious condition that snowballs into serious repercussions regarding your health, finances, and any family relationships. Making bets can be about creating drama and chasing the high of the situation, but often people that have gambling addictions are looking for a way to save them from their financial troubles. Spending money in the hopes that you will make more and more each time can come in a variety of forms. People that buy lottery tickets, place bets on horse races, go to casinos to play slots, and even participate in some forms of investing are participating in gambling. Addiction starts when we cannot stop our behaviors that cause us (and the people around us) severe distress.
Emotional Distress: Depression, Anxiety, and Suicide
People with gambling addiction suffer from a variety of issues such as high levels of anxiety and stress. These fears and worries come from the unknown aspect of gambling and hoping for the best time and time again. Taking a gamble means just that, you’re taking a chance by betting significant amounts of money on a game you couldn’t possibly know the outcome. It’s a stressful business since you’re not guaranteed you will make money at all, but you are sure to lose more than the money in the process.
Depression disorders are severe conditions that can develop from gambling addiction because of the considerable losses people experience over time. Everything they have has been gambled away, and they can never seem to get ahead. These symptoms of depression come from financial ruin, but also from the first encounter of the win that can never be found again. People can be at risk of suicide because of these losses of property, respect, relationships, and everything they held dear.

Pamela
The program at Cypress Lake Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Cypress Lake Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Cypress Lake Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.

It was great to begin my recovery in a group environment with so many knowledgeable nurses, therapists, BHT’s, and others around for support. The equine therapy, challenge course, family week, and daily therapies all work together seamlessly, allowing me to leave Sabino as a healthier and stronger person!
Concurrent Addictions to Drugs and Alcohol
Spiraling into serious addictions often gather others and in the case of gambling addiction, the environment isn’t conducive to healthy living. Those who make their lives all about gambling are often surrounded by people that have the same problems. Because of the severe nature of gambling, people are often brought into illegal gambling operations to get their gambling fix at their convenience. Environments like this invite a slew of temptations, including drinking alcohol and using drugs. These small things they incorporate into this new lifestyle create additional problems.
When you’re spending your days surrounded by people that live to gamble, these additional addictions can go undetected. We stress this idea of cause and effect to help our patients stay on the right track toward recovery in Texas.
At Cypress Lake Recovery in Texas, we look to treat these destructive actions and stopping the cycle of relapse and stress. Your body, mind, and spirit cannot survive with these anxieties any longer. If you’re reading this, you know there is a problem and that you need to get help. If you think you may also be dealing with a mental health condition that may be related to your gambling addiction, we can help you find out with our dual diagnosis program.

How do I know if I’m addicted to gambling?
It may not always be as easy to spot addiction when you’re living in it. These behaviors don’t simply grow into adulthood overnight, and it may be some factors that cause you to behave this way. Gambling excessively can tear your life apart if you don’t take control of the problem as soon as you know there is an issue. Many patients understand this as soon as their health starts declining as weight gain, and depression, skin conditions from stress, loss of appetite and the lack of sleep start to disrupt their lives and how they feel. Don’t let this happen to you for the rest of your life, but think about the future and what it could be like without addictive actions.
For our patients that have sought help and decided it was time, these questions were important ones to ask themselves:
- Have my family, friends or significant other mentioned a problem with my gambling?
- Do I gamble when I can’t afford to?
- How often do I gamble and is that too much?
- Do I feel guilty when I think about gambling?
- Do I feel out of control when I gamble?
- Do I gamble because of the feeling I get emotionally? Is there a high?
- Do I feel stressed and anxious when I gamble?
