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

That is for sure. Specialist doctors and even their families will not be able to help gambling addicts to cure their addiction if there is no awareness of the gambling addict. They will have difficulty finding where to start because gambling addicts don't tell the truth about their problems, so specialists can't find a suitable method to help them recover.

If they are not invited to develop new activities, they will return to gambling sooner or later. And even though they have entered a rehabilitation centre, it may take longer to find the source of the problem, and the process of recovery from the addiction will not happen without a desire to recover from the gambling addict.

As far as I know there are very few people who become addicted to gambling and share it with their family or others. What we typically see is that no gambler shares their addiction. They try to keep it secret as much as they can. A gambler will surely get a good solution when he shares this matter. Hiding only increases the problem so it is very important to share with others as much as possible. In some cases, it takes a long time for gamblers to identify the problem, so it is not possible to bring them back in time.

Indeed, very little is due to the lack of openness from the gambling addicts, so their families cannot do anything even though they feel that something has changed about the gambling addicts. Those who become gambling addicts will keep their gambling activities a secret from other people so that the people around them will not be able to find out but believe me, as someone close to a gambling addict, they will know something is wrong with that person.
