The NHS West Midlands Gambling Harms Clinic (also known as the Midlands Gambling Clinic) provides specialist addiction therapies, treatment and recovery to those affected by gambling addiction and gambling problems.
Many people take part in some form of gambling. For some, this can be an enjoyable activity, but for others, gambling can harm an individual’s physical and mental health, relationships and performance at work, and can leave them in serious debt too. Gambling can also have a huge impact on people close to those with an addiction, which is why we offer tools, support and resources for family members, carers, partners, friends and work colleagues.
We are a clinical team made up of psychologists, therapists, mental health nurses and psychiatrists. We also have ‘experts by experience’ – people who have recovered from an addiction to gambling themselves. We provide gambling treatment programmes delivered either virtually or at the clinic, as well as a digital programme which you can access 24/7. It’s your choice.
We offer additional interventions for specific problems experienced by individuals, and support and advice to family members and carers. We work alongside many other agencies and services that can help with problems such as mental health, and debt.
