Wonderful program for gamblers that need treatment. There are not many rehab places for gamblers and this one is outstanding! After attending and going through the Williamsville Wellness program, I feel I am able to abstain from gambling and understand the recovery process and am on the road to a healthier, happier life. Thank you Williamsville Wellness!

This place changed my life. I didnt really think I needed treatment, but agreed to go, and I will never regret that choice. Wonderful place to be, and an extraordinary counseling staff as well.
Absolutely didnt hurt to have a professional Chef and delicious food!

Good program. However, they don't allow visitation. They stopped during COVID, is what they said. Well, uh, COVID is over. It is helpful for people going through addiction and mental health issues to see their family and friends. I encourage them to learn that family and friends matter to those going through recovery. It's ashame they don't truly understand recovery.

I had an incredible experience at Williamsville Wellness. Two words come to mind when I think about the staff: love and expertise. The amount and caring and love they show their patients during and even after their stay is unmatched. The expertise brought to the table by the staff is also on another level. The peer counselors have the necessary lived experience and know how to translate that experience to help people come up with the path to recovery thanks to a sustainable long-term plan. The therapists are skilled at running groups and doing individual therapy and help clients do as deep as necessary during their stay. The grounds are amazing, the food is incredible, and I cannot think of a better place or overall experience that you would be able to find anywhere else, when faced with the challenge of having to put your life back together. 8 years later, I still am extremely close with my peer counselor and recently exchanged phone calls and emails with the clinical director.

I attended Williamsville Wellness 2 years ago. When I attended I was broken and had just came clean to my wife about a gambling problem that I had hidden from her. Monetarily, I lost everything and was expecting to lose my wife, access to my child, my house, and my business. I came in with a very open mind because I finally was at the point where I knew that the fantasy of solving all my problems by one big win was just that a fantasy and not reality. I had tried that for years but there never came a win big enough to solve any of my problems, which brought me back to gambling where eventually I lost all the money I had access to again and had even more problems. I tried to stop on my own many times and always found myself back and every time I went back the losses got bigger and bigger. Why did I keep doing this to myself? Why did I think I could beat the house? My business was successful, I had a great family, but nothing ever felt like it was enough. Now back to Williamsville. I took every assignment seriously. They told me just do what is asked and you can keep your family, the house, and the business. I didnt believe it at all but hey I had no other options and my wife was not giving me many words of encouragement since I just dropped this bomb on her. Well fast forward 2 years and I have still not gambled. I have my house, my wife and I welcomed our second daughter, and I still have my business. without Williamsville I know it would have taken me many more years to fully understand that I was powerless over gambling. Life is still hard but now I have the tools to deal with it instead of escaping into fantasy and letting all my problems pile up. Anyone who thinks they have a problem and does not know where to turn I highly suggest Williamsville. Be open minded, willing to do stuff you may not see as helpful at first and brutally honest with yourself and the counselors and I know you can stop gambling one day at a time.
