Therefore, it is best for people who want to cure their addiction to go to the nearest hospital for a consultation, where there is a rehabilitation center for gambling addicts, so they can immediately receive further treatment. They may seek referrals by stating they cannot afford the expensive fees. There must be relief for those who cannot afford the costs, especially if the government has given serious attention to helping gambling addicts.

Perhaps the method will be a little different between those who can pay and those who can't, but that doesn't matter as long as the gambling addict and his family can truly undergo therapy, it can still be done. And later, those who undergo treatment there will undergo every therapy process but must take it seriously to be able to cure their gambling addicts.

If an addict wants to cure himself of gambling addiction at a cheaper cost, it seems like dont go to a hospital which usually costs more and for me the main option is to look for a special psychology doctor and we can look for it ourselves and choose the one with the lowest costs. and IMO, if an addict realizes that he is addicted and wants to recover, it will usually only take faster time so there is no need to pay more for the effort and usually if you want it to be cheaper, it is better for yourself to make a commitment to avoid all access that could provide thoughts of gambling or rather healing independently.

As with most things there are services that cater to every single socioeconomic background that exists, so there are rehabilitation centers that are very expensive for those which can afford them, while there are free options available for those which do not have any money to pay for them.

However the treatment in terms of the methods used should be roughly the same, the only thing that varies is the environment and the available resources the therapists have at their disposal, but for those that are determined to improve their lives such a thing is not really a big deal.

One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it? How about the college student? Or the person receiving minimum wage. What are the other low cost but very effective solutions to gambling addiction. And typically how long will it take before the addict starts to feel more in control and less withdrawal symptoms?
Will totally appreciate your responses. Thanks.

If you submit to therapy, certainly you have to pay its price and it can be very expensive for those who have no sustainable source of income. But anyone can receive a therapy and just apply it into the addicted gambler if this gambler is not capable to pay for his own treatment. While friends and relatives can also receive some therapy to lessen their stress and act as support groups to the addicted gambler, as having direct support from family and loved ones is very essential as the gambler has no one to run to but only his loved ones.

But even if therapy is constantly applied, that will not guarantee the fast healing of the addicted gambler if the gambler itself is not helping his own self. He should be more submissive to his own therapy and admit to himself that he really needs it badly, otherwise he won't be able to accept any help at all.

You wont really be needing to resort into such option if you are really just that having that control towards yourself or your mind because you could eventually quit up addiction if you are really that willing on doing so but well not all people does have that kind of control and this is why they would really be opting with this kind of solution in regarding into their addiction which its really that sad considering that counselling and other correlated treatment which involves professional help wont really be that something cheap or something that have cost but honestly, this is really just that your last resort if those things arent really that working like self realization or seeking out some help with your loved ones. Different people does have that different motives and controls towards themselves on which there are ones who are really that good on doing things and there are ones who cant really be able to do such thing and this is why they do really end up on the last options but well this is a common
problem and solutions or on how to get rid of it will be entirely be depending on the individual.

Keep control, keep control! It always circles back to that. You're right when you say that addiction wouldn't even be a problem if people really had power over their actions. But, alas, that's just how people are. Some people are born with a strong will, while others find it hard to even pretend to be in charge. But is it really just about hard work? There is a huge gap between wanting to quit and actually being able to do it. Recurrent cycles of dependency arent just a step for some; they become a big part of who they are.

Professional help and counseling that costs a lot are out there, but can everyone get to them? They're not, no. It is a sad fact of life. Its still true that some people can beat addiction with self-awareness or the help of loved ones, but others stay stuck. In fact, everyone has different limits and motivations. This problem has been around for a long time, but the only way to solve it is with custom solutions that are made for each person's unique situation.

this may be related to severe addiction. the effects of which could hurt or harm other people. This means that something has shifted from your understanding and reasoning. It is clear that recovery requires expert therapy. However, the family will play a role if the addict wants to get better again. they know it is expensive but it has to be done otherwise the effects on the family may be even more expensive.

If the addiction can still be controlled, it means that there is a part of the family who can monitor their gambling activities and limit their finances so that they don't overdo it. I think the family and closest people are the cheapest and most appropriate to provide therapy or assistance in order to at least reduce their gambling activities.

Professional intervention isn't really cheap. You will hardly find a low cost therapy nowadays because as you mentioned, it really comes with a price for every session. It isn't a one time payment thing because the severity of the addiction from one person to another varies as well. With this, there are different treatments and approaches to be done for them to recover and regain their lives, and it will really cost money especially for the facilities, utilities, and the professional fee itself.

This is why it's important to prevent addiction as long as it can still be prevented because it has a lot of repercussions in the long run if it weren't treated immediately. You will be lucky if you have a good public health service in your area that could provide a low cost or even free rehabilitation and treatment of addiction.

If the treatment costs a lot of money, the people who help the gambling addict need to look for alternative treatments that can help cure the gambling addict so they can start healing therapy. Maybe these people can look for information elsewhere or perhaps they can contact a gambling addiction consultation agency so they can be directed where to go. People often experience difficulties regarding costs, and this is why there needs to be assistance from the government to be able to provide rehabilitation places for gambling, alcohol, and drug addicts.

This is to reduce costs incurred by the victim's family and can also immediately help gambling addicts or others to get treatment. The government needs to provide support to these gambling addicts and other addicts because they deserve a second chance and to be able to start a new life.

As with most things there are services that cater to every single socioeconomic background that exists, so there are rehabilitation centers that are very expensive for those which can afford them, while there are free options available for those which do not have any money to pay for them.

It is financially low cost, but might be socially high cost, but what really helps are relationships. Whether that is about love or about friendship, but gambling often happens in isolation to people who started neglecting their social ties or who never had some highly valuable social ties in the first place. I know that OP might have been looking for a different type of answer, but the truth is that healthy relationships and also activities can have a curing effect on many things and addictions are part of that. Sometimes people feel lost, bored and lonely and that is why they consider diving into time wasting activities like excessive gambling where gambling is not a pleasure anymore and doesn't really give you anything in return. Good relationships usually do exactly that.

Maybe for pleasure and a broken relationship but whatever the reason, we should also know how to limit ourselves to addiction. It was not hard to do that honestly if it is already in our mind but if we let that happen, nobody could be blamed but just ourselves.

Changing our lifestyle seems to be a big help to avoid addiction and most of all, with someone who is willing to help as well.
Engaging in physical activities like sports is way better and a healthy solution.

Doing things together with someone else who is important to you is probably among the most effective things you can do to fight any addiction and needless to say that sports are a great way to strengthen the psyche and the body. It is all about finding things that make you feel better than the temporary effect that gambling can give you. The problem is to get started with change because change always hurts, it is never easy unless someone is at a point where change is the only thing that makes sense. But it would be even better to notice earlier and get started before the hole someone is falling into gets too deep.

I think rehabilitation centers for me will be the most effective solution to gambling addiction. I am not sure if it has fee but yeah addicts should go there for immediate and safe recovery. Diversion of someones addiction from gambling to other things could be difficult in the first place.

I'm pretty sure those things would cost a lot of money, so it is not a perfect solution.

In an ideal world we would have access to free mental health care and other things, but that's not the case in most of the world.

And it is tricky because casinos of course would want to keep the gambler addicted, and the governments get money from the casinos, so there's not much incentive for them to treat the gambler and help them stop...

But if indeed the person has enough finances then I think there is no harm in him trying, because maybe this is only a small enough budget for them to spend. Except for the lower middle class whose finances are not good enough then they will not make rehabilitation the best alternative, everything goes back to the ability and trust of each individual also in this matter in my opinion. Yes, free health access is enough to be used as an intermediary for free rehabilitation in several hospitals but even though a country has access that can facilitate its people, especially those with a middle to lower economy, the supply that the state provides is quite limited, and an example is in my country, besides being limited they also make the treatment process difficult.

Of course every casino wants some gamblers to stay addicted, because this is a big profit that is one of their goals, and if one country legalizes gambling for its people then obviously the casino is at least sure to get a share of casino revenue as we used to call taxes, basically the government must want the tax to continue and one way that makes sense is to minimize the service process for those who suffer from addiction.

It is a working strategy I see and cost-free but of course, it needs dedication from the gambler who wants to stop their addiction to gambling, or else, it is useless. Cross-addiction, getting addicted to other stuff like sports could really forget gambling totally and interest. But as I've said, it all depends on the person who wants to change because many have tried but many have failed as well. Generally, it is all about controlling ourselves but with the help and strong support of the family members and friends, that is somewhat possible.
[/quote]

As long as we try our best to change, we will make some progress and it will not gonna be wasted since we are not playing around when it comes to ourselves when we want to change, we already know what are the benefits and that's the main cause to continue the process and eventually have a productive way of life in the future because when you become used to things that will benefit you, you never want to do the things that have a negative impact in your life rather you will just simply ignore it especially when you already gone through it.

I think a therapy are mostly about physical or mental exercises and may not involve some forms of substances so maybe we can also do it on our own? We can use the power of the internet to get some guidelines on how to initiate it. Trained professionals are also being taught and maybe some only studied online so I don't see a huge difference.

Maybe this is also the reason why some are not afraid to get addicted in gambling but for some who only believe in the traditional therapies and are aware how expensive they are, they are very careful when playing gambling or some just avoid it directly. Results if how long the gambler will feel an improvement can depend on the severity of their addiction and also to the therapy done to them.

There are public centers that probably offer the same in your locality. Both private and public therapy, counselling, and rehabilitation services for gambling addicts are available here in my locality.

But let's be true to ourselves, why do you have to raise as an excuse reasons such as unemployment, being a college student, having a minimum wage, etc when talking about gambling addiction? Are these people becoming gambling addicts? How about asking, how is that even possible? I though they have no money? They have no money to pay for necessary interventions and yet they have money to gamble? They cannot afford a therapy but they became gambling addicts?

It is really just that a BS excuse because it would really be that impossible that you do become an addict but dont really have the money then it would really be totally no sense.It did really just turn out that you have been ended up on a mess and this is why they would really be only making out those kind of realizations in the end of the line.If they do find out that addiction is severe and cant really be able to solve it out for themselves then this is the time that they would really be seeking for some help whether from their loved ones or some professional advises.
Actually we could really be able to quit up gambling if we are really just that willing on doing so.

There are really just that people who cant really just control out their emotions and do really keep that on doing on what they do have in mind and this is why gambling is really that
highly frowned upon when it comes to bad things just because of that addiction problems and the results that it could give on a certain individual.

Acceptance is the first step to address your situation, know that there is real problem that you need to take care of.
If you will still be denial of what you are having, hard to pinpoint where you are coming from why you are getting addicted.
It is no shame to ask help from your closed friends or family regarding your situation. It means, you are ready to alter your path for the betterment of yourself.

By accepting or admitting that we have a problem, we will try to find a way or solution so that we can solve the problem. But people who are addicted to gambling can't see the problem and instead get deeper into gambling so that people who don't know about their gambling activities can't do anything. But if people who are addicted to gambling realize that they are addicted to gambling and are willing to tell the people around them, this will be a good start because they will get help from the people around them to seek and find a solution. When you have found a solution, you will be able to provide a way for those who are addicted to gambling to immediately go through every process so that they can cure their gambling addiction.
