Gambling Addiction Treatment in Spain: Private, One-to-One Recovery at Sea Recovery

Sea Recovery offers confidential, one-to-one support for gambling addiction in a peaceful luxury setting. We go beyond behavioural control — offering deep psychological and emotional recovery in southern Spain.

Sea Recovery offers personalised gambling rehab in Spain — one-to-one, emotionally intelligent, and completely private. Our clients come from across Europe and the Middle East to recover in peace, away from group settings and public exposure.

Understanding Gambling Addiction

Gambling addiction is a hidden struggle for many high-functioning individuals. On the surface, it may appear as harmless entertainment or strategic risk-taking — but beneath it often lies obsession, secrecy, self-soothing through risk, and the pain of spiralling financial, relational, and emotional consequences.

It can feel shameful to admit. The losses might not just be monetary — but also the loss of trust, peace, and emotional clarity. At Sea Recovery, we understand that gambling addiction is rarely about the game. It's about the story underneath — stress, trauma, grief, emotional disconnection, or compulsive coping mechanisms that no longer serve you.

If you’re looking for private gambling rehab in Spain, we offer a discreet, trauma-informed alternative to group-based rehabs or surface-level programmes. We also provide support for other behavioural addictions — including shopping, sex, food, gaming, and internet compulsions — all in a fully private, one-to-one setting.

Signs You May Be Struggling With Gambling Addiction

• Chasing losses or needing to win back money
• Borrowing money, hiding debt, or financial secrecy
• Guilt, shame, or anxiety after gambling
• Using gambling as emotional relief — from stress, depression, or anger
• Inability to stop or set healthy boundaries with gambling
• Lying to partners or family about your behaviour
• Feeling out of control, but unsure how to stop

Gambling addiction doesn't always look dramatic. It can exist in secret — behind success, professionalism, or social performance. Whether you’re betting in casinos, online, or through sports apps — if it’s becoming compulsive, disruptive, or emotionally exhausting, it’s valid to get help.

Why Gambling Addiction Needs Emotional Recovery

Many gambling addiction programmes focus only on behaviour. But gambling is often a symptom of something deeper. It might be tied to:

• Unresolved grief or trauma
• Relationship issues or attachment wounds
• Financial stress, shame, or self-worth struggles
• Nervous system dysregulation — chronic stress or numbness
• Perfectionism, escapism, low mood, or emotional avoidance

At Sea Recovery, we go beneath the behaviour. We help you build a safer, stronger internal world — so gambling no longer feels like your only option for escape, thrill, or control.

Our Therapeutic Approach to Gambling Recovery

Your treatment at Sea Recovery is never one-size-fits-all. We work gently and collaboratively — adjusting pace, intensity, and structure to what feels safe for your body and nervous system.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Helps you understand the thoughts, beliefs, and cycles that reinforce gambling urges — and replace them with more adaptive coping tools.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Works with the parts of you that crave risk, control, or relief — while gently connecting with your core self beneath the compulsion.

DBT & Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

Explores deeper life patterns, unmet needs, and emotional scripts that may drive the addiction — particularly in clients with trauma, loss, or abandonment wounds.

TRE (Tension & Trauma Release)

Regulates your fight/flight/freeze response. Helps stabilise your body from chaos, urgency, or dissociation that often fuels gambling.

Holistic & Creative Therapies

We integrate art therapy, movement, breathwork, massage, acupuncture, and lymphatic drainage, cold therapy, and optional IV support — all tailored to your preferences.

Who We Support

• Adults (18+) with active or relapsing gambling issues
• Professionals hiding compulsive behaviour from colleagues or family
• Clients who’ve tried outpatient care, 12-step, or group rehab without success
• Individuals with trauma histories using gambling to self-soothe or dissociate
• Those looking for a rehabilitation centre in Sotogrande that offers full privacy and emotional safety

Daily Life at Sea Recovery

Our environment is quiet, calm, and flexible. You won’t be pressured to join groups, follow strict timetables, or share your story before you’re ready.

A typical day may include:

• Morning grounding (breathwork, stillness, or nature walks)
• One-to-one therapy (emotional, somatic, or integrative)
• Body-based or creative healing sessions
• Time for reflection, journaling, or recovery planning
• Optional holistic sessions (IV, massage, cold therapy)

Everything is built around your needs — whether you’re staying for 10 days or 6+ weeks.

Aftercare & Long-Term Gambling Recovery

We don’t just stop the gambling. We help you build a new way of relating to stress, identity, and emotion — so you don’t need to escape.

• Remote therapy or relapse-prevention coaching
• Financial healing and behavioural boundaries (on request)
• Support with rebuilding relationships, trust, and self-worth
• Nervous system regulation and structure planning for daily life

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I have to attend group therapy?

No. Sea Recovery is a fully private, one-to-one model. Group work is optional and only provided if you explicitly request it.

Will you tell my partner or employer?

No. Everything at Sea Recovery is confidential. We’re ideal for high-profile individuals who require absolute discretion.

Do I have to be abstinent forever?

We don’t enforce rules. Some clients aim for total abstinence; others create personal guidelines. We support your emotional health first, and build your plan together.

Can you help with online gambling or crypto trading?

Yes. Many of our clients are struggling with online platforms, impulsive trades, or app-based betting. We help with digital compulsive behaviour and emotional regulation.

Can I bring my laptop or phone?

Yes — with structured boundaries. If you need to stay connected to your work or family, we’ll help you do so without risking your recovery.

Do you help with shame or secrecy?

Absolutely. Many clients feel intense guilt or embarrassment. Our therapists are trained in shame reduction, emotional repair, and self-worth rebuilding.

Can I get help if I’ve relapsed after a past programme?

Yes. Many of our clients arrive after traditional rehab or therapy didn’t work. Our model is different — softer, deeper, more emotionally safe.

Do you accept clients from outside Spain?

Yes — we work with clients from the UK and across Europe. Our villa is located in southern Spain, near Marbella.
