KAYA Rehab Global, a leading provider of behavioral addiction treatment in the Philippines, was once again featured on national television—actively promoting responsible advertising and equal access to mental health and addiction support services.
With its compassionate, evidence-based approach to rehabilitation, KAYA continues to champion recovery from behavioral addictions such as online gambling, which is increasingly affecting young adults. The recent story of Ken Lester Cuyugan, a college student who courageously shared his journey from addiction to healing, reflects KAYA’s mission of helping others help themselves. His recovery is a powerful example of how accessible rehab programs, and a supportive environment can transform lives.
When Recognition Sparks Recovery
According to Coach Robert Labos, CEO and Clinical Treatment Director of KAYA Rehab Global, acknowledging the problem is the first and most vital step toward healing. The center has seen a significant rise in online gambling addiction inquiries, often involving unemployed individuals who borrow money just to stay in the game. This troubling trend highlights the compulsive nature of gambling addiction and the urgent need for early intervention and professional support.
Advocacy from KAYA Rehab: Help Should Be Just as Accessible
KAYA Rehab Global emphasizes that addiction recovery services must be as easy to access as the gambling platforms themselves. As digital gambling becomes more pervasive, a coordinated response involving regulators, advocacy groups, treatment centers, and media platforms is essential.
Access to temptation must come with equal access to help.
KAYA continues to lead the way in mental health advocacy, ensuring that individuals and families affected by behavioral addictions have the tools, support, and guidance they need to recover and thrive.
