Gordon Moody, an organization dedicated to helping people tackle gambling-related harm, has officially opened its new treatment center in Redditch, Worcestershire.

The New Center Offers Hope to Harmed Individuals

The so-called Gordon Moody House held its official opening ceremony on November 25, in line with the association’s previous announcement. The opening ceremony attracted many stakeholders and alumni, including the former soccer star Steve Bull.

The new residential treatment center in Redditch will offer a safe space for those harmed by gambling seeking recovery and rehabilitation. It will provide multiple tailored programs and therapies that will target the underlying causes of gambling-related harms and help people “rebuild their lives.”

According to Gordon Moody, the opening of the new center reflects the company’s “continued commitment to providing support services for individuals suffering from severe gambling-related harms.” It will bolster the company’s ability to provide evidence-led treatment to people suffering from addiction while solidifying the association’s position as a leader in recovery.

Our success stories speak for themselves – individuals who have rebuilt their lives, mended their relationships, and found new purpose after their treatment.
