Are there treatment programs that are specifically for gambling addicts?


I have noticed that a lot of people are getting addicted to gambling. I have an acquaintance who has admitted that she loves to gamble because of the adrenaline rush it gives her. I was just wondering if gambling addiction is a serious enough issue and if it is, if there are treatment programs out there for people who have gotten addicted to gambling.

Just like alcoholism or drug addiction, gambling addiction is considered as an illness. Fortunately, there are treatment programs available for chronic gamblers. Though there is no cure and the occurrence of relapse is always possible, it can be treated. You can probably suggest to your friend that she contact her local health services department and ask about treatment centers. Gambling addiction is something that must not be taken lightly.

Gamblers Anonymous. Here in Michigan you can contact the casinos and they will hook you up with some numbers to call.
