Individuals with gambling problems can seek assistance through various resources mentioned in the news content. They can contact the National Council on Problem Gambling, which provides a range of resources such as answers to commonly asked questions, a gambling behavior self-assessment, and information about treatment. The National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-GAMBLER) is also available to connect individuals with help in their state.

There are several treatment options for problem gambling, including counseling, peer support, and various types of therapy programs1. Counseling is conducted by trained therapists or counselors with expertise in gambling addiction and is tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of each individual. Peer support involves individuals who have experienced gambling problems themselves and provide help and guidance to others struggling with similar issues.

Outpatient treatment programs provide treatment for individuals while they continue to live at home, attending scheduled therapy and counseling sessions. Intensive Outpatient Programs provide 9 or more hours of structured programming per week in an outpatient setting. Residential treatment programs offer a specialized treatment facility for a designated period, providing a controlled and supportive environment that minimizes exposure to gambling triggers.

Inpatient treatment programs provide coordinated and integrated care in a hospital setting, with a focus on medical stabilization, support, treatment for psychiatric or addictive disorders, and supervision.

It is essential for individuals to choose the right treatment program based on their specific needs, preferences, and goals. Reaching out to the National Problem Gambling Helpline or exploring local resources can help guide them towards the most suitable treatment option.
