Gambling addiction is when someone’s gambling behavior causes problems in their life. The addiction can include spending excessive time thinking about gambling or gambling, an increasing urge to continue gambling even after significant financial loss or successes, unsuccessful efforts to stop gambling, and risking social or professional relationships or roles due to the need to gamble.
People with problematic gambling behaviors may benefit from individual counseling, group counseling, or support groups.
Available Treatment Options
Therapist interventions aim to help people reduce their gambling behaviors, understand and have more control over urges, and address emotions surrounding the need to gamble.
