We all say that gambling addiction is bad and it should be avoided at all costs but we do not provide the solution as how it can be done ?
Also, do we have institutions or centers where we can take an addicted gambler for a medical cure? Just like any other sickness, we need to consult the doctor, gamblers too need to consult psychologists or doctors who can help them overcome gambling addiction. It is impossible for any gambler who is already addicted to gambling to become non-addicted on his own.
Gambling is a strong addiction that once addicted is not easy to get rid of. Here it is impossible to get Medicare or medical formula that can completely get rid of gambling. But with good motivation and honest advice there is a possibility to get rid of gambling to some extent. In my locale people who are addicted to gambling often resort to anti-social activities like fights, robberies, thefts, murders etc. Bringing them under the law is not getting any benefit. However, an organization/institution called "Rehab" is working privately with gamblers and drug addicts in Bangladesh and they are already getting great success.
