One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it? How about the college student? Or the person receiving minimum wage. What are the other low cost but very effective solutions to gambling addiction. And typically how long will it take before the addict starts to feel more in control and less withdrawal symptoms?
Will totally appreciate your responses. Thanks.
What I know is that those who are in therapy for gambling addiction seem to have a severe level of addiction. Now I also know that the payment is expensive; that's true. But my only question is: how did the person you are talking about lead to addiction?
What is that? Has he been a gambler for a long time, and has he reached a point where he loses a lot of money gambling? Also, if an addict cannot afford the fee for the therapy service, his close family and friends can help him get therapy.
