The Outpatient Behavioural Addictions (VSA) department provides assessment, treatment and support for people experiencing behavioural addictions, including gambling addiction, internet addiction, compulsive sexual behaviour and compulsive buying (shopping addiction).

In addition to specialist treatment, we support patients with work-related, financial and family issues. We can also refer patients to social support and debt advice services where appropriate.

The department also offers advice and guidance to family members and professionals who have questions about behavioural addictions.
