About NAMS
The National Addictions Management Service (NAMS) was incorporated in Aug 2008. Located at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), NAMS includes the Specialist Outpatient Clinic C (SOC C) as its outpatient arm, and the inpatient Serenity Centre, which provides residential detoxification and rehabilitation.
NAMS treats problem gambling and other behavioural addictions (internet, gaming, etc), and substance addictions (alcohol and drugs).
Campaigns
Relive! Back on Track
Are you mastering the game or are you being mastered by the game? Aimed at creating awareness amongst youths who may be at risk of a gaming addiction problem, this campaign provides readers with a useful checklist to assess if there are tell-tale signs of such a problem. The key message here is to seek help early.

News & Events
Families in Recovery through Education
and Empowerment (FREE)
Problem gambling hurts the gamblers and people
around them. It is not easy to live with someone
who has a gambling problem.
We are conducting an educational group to help
you better understand problem gambling, its impact
on you and how you can manage a family member
with a gambling problem.
This group is open to members of the public who
may be living with, or know of a problem gambler
who is currently not in treatment. You or your family
members do not need to be our patients to attend
the group.
For more information or registration, please call the
Problem Gambling Helpline at 1800-6-668-668.
Program is free-of-charge.
