At The Recovery Lodge, we are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking to overcome addiction.
Behavioural addictions can be just as damaging as substance addictions, impacting mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life. Unlike drug or alcohol dependency, behavioural addiction does not involve consuming a substance but instead revolves around compulsive, repetitive actions that interfere with daily living.
At The Recovery Lodge, we provide a supportive, structured rehab programme tailored to help individuals struggling with behavioural addictions regain control of their lives. Through a combination of therapy, holistic treatments, and relapse prevention strategies, we help individuals break free from compulsive behaviours and establish a healthier future.
Behavioural addiction occurs when an individual engages in a specific activity compulsively, despite negative consequences. The brain’s reward system reinforces these behaviours, making them difficult to stop without professional help. While some level of engagement in these activities is normal, when they begin to impact relationships, finances, and mental well-being, intervention is often necessary.
Compulsive gambling can lead to significant financial loss, emotional distress, and strained relationships. The rush of placing bets and chasing losses creates a cycle that can be difficult to break without structured support.
Excessive video gaming can interfere with work, education, and personal relationships. Individuals struggling with gaming addiction often experience withdrawal symptoms, anxiety, and loss of interest in other activities.
Constant engagement with social media and online platforms can lead to decreased self-esteem, social withdrawal, and unhealthy comparisons, impacting mental health and productivity.
Compulsive sexual behaviours or excessive consumption of pornography can damage intimate relationships and contribute to emotional distress, guilt, and a cycle of dependency.
Impulse buying and compulsive shopping can result in financial struggles and emotional instability. This addiction is often linked to stress relief or a way to escape underlying emotions.
Unlike other behavioural addictions, food addiction is a necessary aspect of daily life. Individuals may struggle with compulsive overeating, binge eating, or emotional eating, leading to weight fluctuations and health concerns.
Recognising the signs of behavioural addiction is key to seeking the right support. Individuals may experience a combination of emotional, physical, and social symptoms.
Without intervention, behavioural addictions can significantly impact daily life and mental well-being. The long-term effects may include:

Choosing the right rehab centre is a vital step in your recovery journey. At The Recovery Lodge, we prioritise your needs to ensure a tailored and effective recovery experience.
If your compulsive behaviours are interfering with your daily life, relationships, finances, or mental health, rehab may be the best step to regain control. If you find yourself unable to stop despite negative consequences, seeking professional help can provide the support you need.
Our programme includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), group therapy, and holistic approaches such as mindfulness. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s specific addiction and needs.
The length of rehab varies depending on individual needs. Programmes are typically complete within 28 days, with some individuals requiring longer-term support to sustain recovery.
While some individuals can reduce their compulsive behaviours independently, many find it challenging to break the cycle without structured support. Professional rehab provides guidance, therapy, and tools to ensure lasting recovery.
We provide aftercare support, including continued therapy, peer support groups, and relapse prevention planning to help individuals maintain their progress beyond rehab.
For certain addictions, complete abstinence is the goal (e.g., gambling addiction). However, for behaviours like food addiction, the focus is on developing a healthier relationship with eating rather than total elimination.
