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.
