Take Back Your Dignity

Gambling Addiction Treatments and Gambling Counseling for Problem Gamblers

For compulsive gamblers, chasing their losses is a seemingly endless cycle; one that causes them to do things to shame themselves and bring pain to the ones they love. From gambling away money set aside for bills, to stealing money from family and friends, compulsive gamblers make decisions that in no way reflect the responsible, loving people they are outside of their addictions.

Stop chasing what will always be out of reach. Get gambling addiction treatment from compassionate, non–judgmental professionals who know how to help you regain your self–respect at The Center.

Two–thirds of adults in America place some kind of bet each year on sporting events, in slot machines, through the purchase of lotto tickets, on online gambling sites and more. And though the vast majority will never have a gambling problem, as many as 15 million people in the United States do show signs of gambling addiction. If you are among them, then you know how it feels:

• Skipping work or school to gamble instead
• Gambling with money set aside for bills
• Borrowing or stealing money to finance your addiction
• Hiding your gambling problem from loved ones, or fighting about it with those who know
• Losing the respect of your family and friends
• Losing respect for yourself
• Contemplating self-destructive behavior

As a result of the guilt and shame stemming from this kind of lifestyle, compulsive gamblers are 20 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population.
