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.
Gambling is a mental illness gambling addiction can destroy a person's life there is no effective cure for gambling addiction. But with the support of family and friends of addicts, they can help their loved ones return to a normal life. Since the need to get rid of gambling is at a level where it is difficult to stop oneself it is necessary to seek the help of a professional or professionals. No matter how difficult the task everything has its rehabilitation. Instead of this habit you have to prepare yourself by analyzing the harmful effects or the reasons behind it at least come to this conclusion.
