Understanding behavioural addictions

Behavioural addictions may start small, but acknowledging them is the first step towards reclaiming balance to live a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Has a simple daily activity turned into a habit that feels overwhelming? Is an addiction taking over your time, energy, and sense of control? Whether it’s a gambling addiction, compulsive shopping, excessive internet use or other behaviour, the consequences can be serious, impacting your personal relationships, work performance and overall mental and physical health. 

Behavioural addictions can become increasingly difficult to control, even when you recognise the harm they are causing. Despite your best efforts, it can be difficult to stop and the urge to continue may grow stronger over time – creating a destructive loop that’s hard to break. 

At The Bardo, we understand the profound and far-reaching consequences of behavioural addictions and we want you to know – there is a way out! 

We offer a range of professional and compassionate detox and behavioural addiction rehabilitation programs that are specifically designed to help individuals regain control and restore balance in their lives. Our services are discrete, confidential and you can embark on your recovery journey in a safe and supportive environment without any external pressures. 

Why seek professional help for behavioural addictions? 

Behavioural addictions can become increasingly difficult to control, even when you recognise the harm they are causing. If a behaviour is taking over your life and you’re losing control, it may be time to seek professional help.

Attempting to stop on your own can lead to withdrawal symptoms, which can be both physically and emotionally distressing, making the journey to recovery even more challenging. These struggles can overflow into other areas of your life, affecting relationships, creating financial difficulties, and negatively impacting your overall health. 

Conflicts with loved ones may arise as they struggle to understand your behaviour. Over time, the stress of managing these relationships and your addiction can manifest in physical health issues like sleep disturbances, stress-related illnesses, and a general decline in well-being.

Recognising these signs and seeking help is the first important step toward recovery. At The Bardo, we offer specialised care at our detox retreat to address behavioural addictions, helping you break free from the cycle and rebuild your life.

Comprehensive treatment for behavioural addictions at The Bardo

We approach behavioural addiction treatment from a holistic perspective, addressing all aspects of your well-being, mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual. We incorporate a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness practices, all tailored to your individual needs. 

Alongside these core therapies, The Bardo offers a wide range of enriching modalities at our luxury rehab that support your detoxification and recovery journey.

Other programs include:

  • Body work therapy and yoga: To help you reconnect with your body and promote physical well-being.
  • Expressive art therapy: A creative outlet for processing emotions and experiences.
  • Personal training and contrast therapy: To build physical strength and resilience.
  • Nutritional support and guidance: Because we believe food is medicine, our chef prepares gourmet meals rich in nutrients to support both your mental and physical recovery.
  • Meditation and mindfulness therapy: To help you cultivate inner peace and focus.
  • Acupuncture and Massage therapy: For relieving stress and promoting relaxation.

These therapies also go hand-in-hand with a variety of recreational activities we offer here at The Bardo, all designed to promote personal growth, helping you discover new passions and rebuild confidence.
