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.
Unfortunately, the categories of people you listed - students and the poor - are not able to pay for their treatment, and they will be forced to remain without professional help from clinics, the prices of which are incredibly high. The fact is that the arrogant doctors in such establishments know that gamblers are suffering greatly due to addiction, and they want to extract money from the gamblers. After all, according to their logic, “if a gambler finds money for games, he will also find money for treatment.”
I know the prices in my country for treatment for gambling addiction. And they are huge! But it’s not even this that’s offensive, but the fact that the quality of the services provided there is NOT CAPABLE of curing a gambling addict. As a rule, addicted gamblers are placed together with drug addicts and alcoholics. But gambling addiction is something else! And of course, no healing effect occurs.
