Problem gambling is a treatable illness.
Treatment is available for individuals or families.

What does the Gambling Program provide?

Our Gambling Program is not a support group. It is a therapeutic process in which the gambler and/or family members learn coping skills necessary to overcome gambling addictions. In addition, the program addresses areas such as financial crisis, trust and other related issues.

Services include diagnostic assessment, individual and family counseling, group therapy and education. Treatment is provided in a safe and confidential environment at an off site location. Treatment is individualized to meet specific needs of the clients.

What does the Gambling Program COST?

The program is a FREE service, provided through contractual arrangement with Jackson County Health and Human Services and paid for through State lottery funds.

What about the family?

If you are the spouse or family member of a problem gambler, it is important for you to:

• Take care of yourself
• Stay in touch with your feelings
• Realize that you are not responsible for the gambler's behavior

Family members can get help even if the problem gambler is not ready.
