GETTING HELP
Some people seek help simply to get more information. They realize that gambling is causing problems, but the terms problem, pathological, or compulsive gambling are confusing. Others wonder whether they can benefit from our services and want to talk with an expert about treatment options. Others realize that their gambling is out of control, feel unable to stop and think that no one can help. They seek help to stop gambling and regain control over their lives.
Family members seek help to reduce the impact of problem gambling, improve their lives and take better care of themselves. They also seek help to learn how to better manage the resentment and insecurity of the past and feel more confident about the future.
Recovering problem gamblers also reach out with concerns about going back to gambling. They understand that periods of stress or personal conflict may jeopardize the day-to-day process of recovery. They seek help to talk through problems and develop strategies to successfully continue recovery.
