I agree that treating addiction isn't easy, but you have to find many strategies to do it, the first is what you said responsible gambling starts with simply controlling money, If the person spends all their money, they'll want to keep gambling Some people run out of money and sell what little they have Some start stealing money from others, lending money, and that causes addiction.
Addicted people have a hard time controlling their emotions, They just want to gamble, and they do it more and more each time, It's difficult to find themselves in a situation like this In a casino, the more you bet in the long term, the more you lose But it's not the casino's fault, it's the person's fault if they don't control themselves.
In as much I know that it is difficult for one to control him or herself in gambling too much, I still know that precautionary measures can be initiated by gambling with amounts that won't get you stressed out when you lose it, responsible gambling starts by individual gambler trying to figure out ways they can be in control of their game not the other way round...
I can be bold to say that addiction is incurable or the percentage that is being rescued from addiction is so infinitesimal. Most of us haven't really witnessed what is called addiction or have a close relative who is addicted. Most times, what we consider as addiction or who we consider as addicts are yet not matured to be called addicts. They are just growing in the pipeline and whoever that is discovered at this time can be rescued or rehabilitated, but a real addict is purely unrepentant because the addiction has defeated their consciousness, conscience and emotion.
As the saying goes, "you are a slave to what you are addicted to". So many people we categories as addicts are not yet matured to addiction, so we should make efforts to rescuing them.
it's the person's fault if they don't control themselves.
An addict cannot control his/her self.
