RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT
BESPOKE TREATMENT FOR ADDICTIVE DISORDERS
THE ORIGINAL CLINIC
FOR SPORT
You might be reading this and be worried about your gambling or drinking or your relationship with prescribed or recreational drugs.
​
It might be that your gambling or substance use is worrying you or others but could be addressed through opening up and having some honest conversations by engaging with a therapist. They can begin to help you understand your thoughts and feelings and how this might change your patterns of behaviour.
When an individual’s relationship with a behaviour or substance becomes particularly problematic, the most appropriate form of treatment might be a residential stay in a rehabilitation clinic.
​
Sporting Chance has its own custom-built clinic, the only one we know of in the world created exclusively to treat sportsmen and women for addictive disorders - specifically problematic behaviour relating to gambling, alcohol and other drugs.
​
We’ve been treating clients here for over 20 years - we understand better than anyone the world of high-level, high-profile sport and how addictive behaviour affects both those competing within it and those who have struggled to adapt to life following the end of their sporting career. Our programmes are designed to empower individuals to make lasting changes in their lives and to enable current professional athletes to return to the daily routine of elite competition.
​
Residential funding varies depending on individual arrangements with our stakeholders and admission is dependent on an assessment process. Click here and call us to find out more.
​
We do not receive funds directly from any industry that significantly contributes to the harm experienced by our client population, including the gambling industry.
