Commonly Asked Questions

What if I don't want anyone to know that I have a gambling problem?
Our services are completely confidential. Your identity will be strictly protected and kept private.

What if I am not ready to quit gambling but want to seek help anyway?
This is very common among gamblers at first. After we assess your situation with you, we will develop a treatment plan that we have collaborated and agreed on.

Some people want to start by first minimizing the harm they can do when gambling. Others want to quit right away - the choice will always be yours.

If you have a gambling problem we will tell you honestly what we see and what we recommend.  We will not judge you in any way.  You will not be forced to do anything in treatment that is against your will.

If we cannot agree on a treatment plan or if at any time during treatment you decide you do not wish to follow the treatment plan we recommend, we will find alternative resources for you that give you the choices you seek.

I don't have a problem with gambling but my family member does. What can I do?
We often help family members plan strategic interventions that potentiate internal motivation for change. Even if the gambler won't change, getting help for family members can really help.
