A drug addict can get better with rehab but a gambling addict can't get better with rehab because there are financial issues involved where emotions work harder. And it is this emotion that does not allow a gambling addict to quit gambling easily.
I don't think so, does that mean that it will be vice versa onto a drug addict? Rehabilitation is different in every case but I think it will work on gambling addiction as well as long as the patient is doing the work that they need to do. Though I don't tend to know how financial issue works on gambling addicts as what you stated.
I would have been in a haste to oppose your view about drug addiction and gambling addiction. But why trying to oppose you, I had to listen from your side of idea and understood clearly that there is a robust difference between gambling addiction and drug addiction.
When you said about money and finances being involved, I understood it correctly. Do you know why there is this difference?
This is because someone that is addicted to a drug or alcohol is just trying to enjoy themselves or they are hurted by friends or relatives.
But someone who is a gambling addict is seriously expecting millions of dollars they will win one day. This expectation keeps them in the addiction and makes it long enough for them to be cured.
