The Compulsive Gambling Treatment Center
Open six days a week 8am-8pm since July, 2002, we keep our clients identity confidential.
We start with a confidential individual consultation in which we start the process of comprehensive assessment in order to determine your needed level of care and to design an individually tailored plan for recovery.
The Compulsive Gambler is viewed within the context of cultural origin, family background, financial factors and level of functioning.
We see the compulsive gambler as a person, human and unique, and who is struggling and out of balance.
The view we take of our clients is one of compassion and unconditional humanistic and positive regard. The quality of the connection we endeavor to make with the client and the resulting therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance.
The Gambling Treatment Center takes a wellness approach that can include family members, financial management, and recovery of integrity. These approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy; harm reduction; financial counseling; motivational interviewing; individual and group therapy; encouragement of participation in community support groups (i.e., Gamblers Anonymous, Gam-Anon, etc.); pharmacology; and acupuncture.
We see compulsive gamblers in group, individual, family, and couples modalities. We also utilize a financial consultant who specializes in working with problem gamblers and/or their family members.
We often work with the family members of compulsive gamblers to augment treatment, to assist with the issues they are dealing with as a result of the impact compulsive gambling has on the family, and/or to design effective interventions that might potentiate a compulsive gambler to seek help by entering treatment.
We have specialized tracks within the clinic for men, women, Spanish speaking individuals, Native Americans, veterans, and gay and lesbian clients.
