Specialized Support for Gambling Addiction

This facility’s primary focus is its dedicated program for problem and compulsive gambling, which is often accompanied by other addictions. The center offers state-funded assessments, one-on-one counseling, and therapy specifically tailored to individuals struggling with the financial and emotional toll of gambling.

Treating Co-Occurring Addictions and Self-Defeating Behaviors

Because gambling issues often overlap with substance use and mental health concerns, care is designed to address co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, or trauma. This integrated approach helps clients work toward recovery on multiple fronts at the same time.

Develop Skills to Help Rebuild Relationships

Clients are taught communication strategies and relapse-prevention skills that strengthen relationships and promote long-term wellness. The center’s mission reflects a belief that addiction affects the entire family system, and that recovery is more sustainable when both clients and their loved ones are included in the process.
