Our Approach to
Gambling Addiction Treatment
Our approach to treating gambling addiction addresses the behavioral patterns that drive compulsive gambling. We work on breaking these patterns and the destructive cycles they create, giving you the best chance at lasting recovery.
To ensure sustainable progress, your personalised treatment plan follows our Treatment Roadmap, which guides you through structured phases. This strengthens your coping skills and helps you understand your addiction before returning to environments where gambling is accessible.
With our low client-to-staff ratio, in our safe, therapeutic environment, you will have the space and support needed to reclaim control of your life.

Personalised Gambling Addiction Treatment
at The Dawn Thailand
We provide personalised gambling addiction treatment structured around our Treatment Roadmap. This paced, structured process addresses compulsive gambling behaviors, treats co-occurring mental health conditions, and prepares you for a confident return to daily life.
Comprehensive Assessment
Weeks 1 to 2
This first phase lays the groundwork for effective treatment by identifying the psychological, emotional, and behavioural patterns that contribute to your addiction. We also assess the financial and relational impact of your behaviour to fully understand what needs to be repaired. You will receive:
- A full psychological evaluation to uncover co-occurring conditions
- A detailed review of your gambling habits, triggers, and personal history
- Clear treatment goals tailored to your needs and recovery priorities
Managing Triggers and Cravings
Weeks 2 to 5
This phase focuses on helping you take back control in your daily life. You will learn how to recognise high-risk situations, manage urges, and respond to triggers without returning to old habits. Therapies include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to reframe thoughts that contribute to your addiction
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to regulate emotions and reduce impulsivity
- Psychoeducation to deepen your understanding of addictive behaviours
- Holistic practices to reduce stress and improve emotional balance
You will also begin building your personalised Relapse Prevention Plan to support long-term change.
Addressing Underlying Causes
Weeks 5 to 12
This phase is essential for long-term recovery. We focus on the deeper emotional and psychological issues that may have led to or worsened your gambling, including unresolved trauma, financial stress, relationship conflict, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Therapies include:
- Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and EMDR to safely process past experiences
- Targeted treatment for conditions like depression, anxiety, or ADHD
- Individual therapy to rebuild self-worth and strengthen healthy coping strategies
How long is gambling rehab?
Most clients stay around 60 days, though the length of your treatment depends on several factors, such as the severity of your gambling addiction, your individual circumstances, and how you respond to therapy.
If you are also dealing with depression, anxiety, or other underlying mental health conditions, an extended stay of approximately 90 days allows for more thorough treatment.
We will work with you to determine the optimal duration based on your specific situation and recovery goals.

Holistic Treatment from World-class Clinicians
At The Dawn, we uphold rigorous standards when selecting our clinical team.
You will work with seasoned specialists trained at leading institutions in the UK, US, and Australia. This ensures you get the highest level of care for your gambling addiction and any underlying mental health conditions.
Alongside evidence-based Western therapies like CBT and MCBT, your treatment also includes holistic wellness activities like mindfulness, yoga, and massage.
This comprehensive approach strengthens your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, creating a solid foundation for lasting recovery.
A Safe, Luxury Setting Designed for Recovery
When you are struggling with gambling addiction, familiar environments with easy access to betting can derail your recovery efforts.
At The Dawn, our therapeutic riverfront setting outside Chiang Mai removes you from the constant access to casinos and betting apps.
With access to your own resort-style room and various wellness facilities, you will have the space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself, all of which supports your healing journey.
Lasting Support After You Leave
We are dedicated to helping you maintain your progress well beyond your stay with us.
For those who need additional time before returning home, our Step Down Programme offers continued support while allowing you to come and go as you practice your new skills in real-world settings.
Once you are back home, our Lifetime Aftercare Programme gives you access to bi-weekly online group sessions, ensuring you are never alone in your recovery and always have access to peers and professionals who truly understand your experience.
You will also become part of our alumni programme, connecting you to a community of people who have overcome gambling addiction and are committed to supporting each other’s continued success.

How does the quality of care compare to the rehabs in the US or UK?
You can trust that your care meets the same rigorous standards as high-quality treatment facilities in the US and UK.
As Asia's only CARF-accredited rehab, we adhere to the strict guidelines for clinical care and safety that govern top-tier treatment centres in the US. This means we use evidence-based treatment methods tailored to your individual needs rather than the 12 Step one-size-fits-all model.
We maintain a 90% programme completion rate, with 96% of our clients recommending The Dawn to others.
This exceptional standard of care comes at significantly lower costs than comparable Western facilities, allowing you to invest in longer, more comprehensive treatment without compromising on quality.

Inpatient vs Outpatient Gambling Rehab
Inpatient gambling rehab removes you from daily triggers and provides comprehensive support that outpatient therapy cannot match.
At The Dawn, all aspects of care, from evidence-based therapy to holistic wellness and peer community are integrated in one location. This allows you to focus entirely on recovery.
Inpatient – Eliminates distractions and temptations by removing you entirely from gambling venues, online betting access, and financial triggers that drive compulsive behavior.
Outpatient – Increases relapse risk by keeping you in environments with easy access to gambling opportunities and ongoing financial stressors.
Inpatient – Ensures immediate support during vulnerable moments and gambling urges with 24/7 access to therapists.
Outpatient – Leaves you vulnerable during gambling urges and financial crises with only weekly sessions and no immediate support available.
Inpatient – Accelerates your progress through a structured daily schedule of therapy, holistic activities, and immersion in a recovery-focused community.
Outpatient – Slows your recovery progress by offering only weekly or biweekly therapy sessions with long gaps between treatment.
Inpatient – Builds lasting connections with others facing similar gambling addiction challenges through intensive group therapy and shared recovery experiences.
Outpatient – Limits your support network with fewer opportunities for consistent peer connections and shared accountability.
Inpatient – Addresses all aspects of your wellbeing by combining evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, fitness, and complementary treatments in one comprehensive program.
Outpatient – Narrows your treatment focus to scheduled therapy sessions, without round-the-clock support, physical wellness, or immersive therapeutic activities.
