Problem Gambling Treatment

Problem Gambling describes individuals whose gambling causes psychological, financial, emotional, marital, legal, or other difficulties for themselves and people surrounding them. Other addictive behaviors are commonly found in problem gamblers and may be contributing factors. Problem gamblers frequently experience problems with alcohol, drug abuse, and/or addictive sexual behaviors.
