The compulsive gambling program at C.A.R.E. recognizes the seriousness of gambling addiction. We know that it requires more than just substituting gambling for alcohol whenever the word appears in a traditional treatment program. This unique program allows our clients to experience and practice important life skills needed to achieve and maintain a healthy and responsible lifestyle. The combination of structured living and intensive therapy assists clients in examining their compulsive behaviors and causes of their gambling addiction. We believe that recovery is possible and that it requires an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, we provide a variety of activities designed to address specific issues and concerns.
Patient’s in the gambling track, attend gambling specific groups, work with Nationally Certified Gambling Counselors, and address both the emotional and pragmatic issues. C.A.R.E. works closely with the very strong Gamblers anonymous community in Palm Beach. Pressure relief groups, family counseling and budget training are just a few of the services that may include in the individual treatment plan.
C.A.R.E. understands each client has special individual needs. Therefore, our program is highly individualized, has a low client to therapist ratio and is designed to address specific issues as they arise. We believe this approach, accompanied with mutual support and the introduction to the twelve-step program of Gamblers Anonymous (GA) will bring about a transformation that will allow the client to resume their life with a renewed sense of well-being, responsibility and purpose.
