The goal of gambling addiction treatment is to stop the person from playing often or at all, goes without saying that there will be an attempt to slowly take the person away from their source of addiction and replace that activity with a different one that gives same levels of dopamine but one they can manage effectively and not get hooked on.

People who are addicted are mostly feeding of the excitement of having an unsettled bet to look forward to and dream about. With all addictions, they do not have much else going on and solely depend on this activity to feel good. If they could integrate some other activities, they could even keep gambling for fun but in moderation. For players that cannot control their habits, total abstinence will be advised.
