In this case, openness is needed from the gambling addict to make people around him understand that he needs help. And with his family's help, the problem of gambling addiction can be solved properly, and gamblers who are addicted to gambling can also manage their lives freely without thinking about gambling. Seeing a specialist can help a gambling addict overcome his addiction and make a new person who has successfully quit gambling. And when he is successful, he can share his story of getting out of gambling with people who are also addicted to gambling so that this can make their spirits rise and have the desire to get well too.
I'm not sure a specialist will be able to help addicts recover from their addiction if they don't come from themselves wanting to recover from their addiction, there are already many people closest to me like my friends, I even often say this on forums that even specialists or professionals can't completely cure addicts because various cases never recovered from his addiction.
They will play gambling again when they are done with the healing stages of the specialist, because indeed it does not come from themselves wanting to recover and it is difficult to stop them even if the addict loses his closest people such as family they will not care because what is in their minds they are how to beat the casino whereas we know the house will always win. very few make it out of addiction, that's a fact
