Problem gambling has been described as one of the most deniable, most hidden addictions. You cannot smell gambling on the breath of its victim and there may be no obvious outward signs of the havoc being wreaked. Despite this cloud of secrecy, its devastation is far reaching.
Community and Family Resources understands the insidious nature of this disease and has trained professional counselors who understand the pain it causes. Symptoms of this illness are financial ruin, physical problems, mental losses, and emotional devastation. Problem Gambling is just as real and just as devastating as addiction to drugs and alcohol.
The caring staff at Community and Family Resources knows that feeling helpless keeps people in the grip of this illness. Individual and group counseling, along with educational services and assistance with referrals for financial counseling, are available for problem gamblers and their families. Various services for problem gamblers are available ranging from 1 hour per month to 30 plus hours a week depending on need:
If you or someone you know is suffering, let us provide the help and hope that can break the cycle of destruction. Community and Family Resources is your resource for compassion, help, and hope.
