Gambling Addiction Treatment

I have a friend who always play money. He still thinks about the game too. I think he has a gambling problem and I want to know how to find treatment centers that can look so it will get treated. However, I have not convinced him to seek treatment at this time. Ideas?

Does anyone else know gambling your friend? His parents, perhaps? It may be easier to convince, if you do an intervention. Gathering his closest friends and family and to see what he does to himself.

I do not know if there are treatment centers in Greensburg problems of gambling. However, here are some links that might be able to help. You can also contact your local government health services and inquire. Ask hospital staff can give results too. Good luck!

Whether in or near. Visit or call a store near a casino ...

I also live in Pa and I know that if you go there www.palottery.com some info there that can help you. Good Luck.
