Williamsville Wellness...
Licensed, Scholarships, Individualized Treatment
You can't treat compulsive gambling in a better setting.
Williamsville Wellness is a unique residential treatment center designed exclusively for men and women suffering from the effects of compulsive gambling. It is our conviction that problem gambling started when it was used to seek relief from the many underlying issues in their lives. The problems needed a solution, and the “solution” itself became a problem. Our treatment philosophy is that the roots of the gambling problems require identification so that they can be treated leading to recovery. Abstinence from the grips of this gambling addiction and a wholeness of the person leads to serenity and an enhanced quality of life.For this process, a totally individualized treatment plan is developed for each Williamsville Wellness client. Each compulsive gambling client receives intensive, individualized therapy: as many as 65 or more one-on-one sessions during the course of a one-month program. The treatment plan is designed with the compulsive gambler and for the compulsive gambler, and of course, this includes family members. The client has the addiction, but the addiction hurts many others, especially family members. Williamsville Wellness treatment requires that significant family members also participate in the program. They have been hurt, may be angry, fearful of the future or suffer from depression. They may have enabled the gambling. They need to understand the illness, and they need to learn how to be part of the recovery effort. Family members will have individual therapy sessions with our treatment team as needed.Williamsville Wellness is proud of its comprehensive treatment team consisting of leaders and specialists in their fields: psychologists, family therapists, addictions counselors, and of course, those who’ve walked the line, the peer counselors. These counselors understand and they know how to treat this psychiatric disorder called compulsive gambling or gambling addiction.

Williamsville and the surrounding property have been in the Cabaniss family for over forty-five years. We are confident that Williamsville Wellness will be a good neighbor in our area; otherwise, we would not locate the facility in the middle of our property."
Should I get a psychotherapeutic consult first? Will I have a substantial finsancial commitment? I have kaiser Permeaente insuranance. will that cover it. My ganmbling has cost ohly time, not money. Is that considred? thank you
Williamsville Wellness's staff will do an evaluation/assessment during your first week here. We will help get the maximum amount possible from your insurance; we have an expert in the field to help with that process.
If your gambling has just taken time and not money the question should be do you obsess over gambling and does it hurt you in other ways. Gambling can take many forms as can the addiction. A call to 877-599-9355 will allow the staff to see if you need residential treatment.

My name is Paul. I just finished my treatment at Williamsville Wellness. I flew home to California just two days ago.A few weeks ago my family did an intervention to help me stop gambling. I was at my wits end. I had lost my job after 15 years and had to move in with my sister. All because of compulsive gambling. Even after I moved in with her I started gambling my unemployment checks and not paying my bills. At my sisters request, everyone in my family searched for an in patient treatment center for me. They all called each other back after finding and talking to the staff at Williamsville Wellness. I arrived there on January 27th. of 2008.
I really had a great experience at Williamsville. It is a treatment center like no other. Bob Cannibness was a compulsive gambler himself, he understands us and our pain. He has put together a top notch staff of several therapists.
Five days a week you have one on one therapy and group therapy. They attack your gambling problem from several angles and give you the tools necessary to overcome your addiction. Family is welcome to visit and encouraged to participate in therapy with you as needed. It is a relaxing and healing environment. The staff is very caring. Meals are out of this world, cooked by their chef.
I went there ready to give up on life and now I am excited to be home and living again as a happy non gambler. I have may challenges to overcome as I rebuild my life after the destruction of compulsive gambling. Williamsville has given me the confidence to tackle them head on one day at a time with a life plan, short and long term.
Compulsive gambling is a disease and they understand that, its all they do. I encourage you to call and speak to Bob, Art or Annette if your life is out of control due to gambling. They really can help you. Here is my personal cell number, feel free to call me if you have any questions 831 233 2109.

Finding Williamsville Wellness Center was a God-send. I finished my treatment May 7, 2008.The therapists there are terrific and very caring about you as a person. Their focus is upon helping you get the treatment you need to get on the road of recovery. I am very thankful for Bob and his vision to help fellow gamblers to have a better way of life. He has invested himself into this Wellness Center so compulsive gamblers can receive the best treatment available form a wholistic health focus. It is definitely worth the money. Bob is willing to work with you so you can get the help you need. I can't say enough god things about Williamsville Wellness Center, the therapists, the location, the support staff, and Bob himself. They are great individuals for your healing and support and a great place for getting away from the fast-lane of life. I highly recommend your consideration of this treatment center.
