British gambling addiction charity Gordon Moody has partnered with US-based gambling addiction treatment provider Birches Health to establish a referral pathway between the two organisations.
The transatlantic pathway aims to ensure that individuals within each network can have access to the “right treatment in the right setting,” including a dedicated private admissions provision at Gordon Moody.
In addition, the two organisations will exchange clinical expertise and best practice, to strengthen the quality and innovation of care for those affected by gambling-related harm.
“This partnership demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that people affected by gambling addiction can access the very best support, wherever they are,” said Gordon Moody chair of trustees Claire Arnold. “By working alongside Birches Health, we are creating clear pathways into treatment, including private specialist provision where needed, while also sharing our knowledge and clinical expertise to strengthen outcomes for individuals worldwide.”
Elliott Rapaport, founder and CEO of Birches Health, added: “Just as the American regulatory system has often looked to the more mature UK market for learnings, so too should leaders in the US gambling addiction treatment ecosystem.
“We are excited to collaborate with such a respected and experienced organisation like Gordon Moody to help ensure that modern models of clinical excellence are shared globally, and that individuals in need of specialized care can access it seamlessly, regardless of their location.”
