I think it's not just with gambling addiction but with any other addiction there is. I believe that it would really help if the person were the following.

Willing to change himself
Doesn't reach that level of stress that could retrigger the addiction
Willing to be helped

I think there are some people who are doing pro bono work or something and maybe you can get a slot or a solution to it. It's best that you yourself help yourself. That's going to be the challenge. You would teach yourself. That's a low cost thing.

Casinos have their own responsible gambler, and for sure they offer it for free or at least for a minimal fee, don’t be afraid to ask and look for alternatives just to recover from your addiction and I also believe that it will always depend on your own desire and you really want to recover you will help yourself and seek someone’s help. There are institutions who are more willing to help you, so help yourself too.

There’s a free services like this and yes if you are more willing to change I’m sure the casinos are also willing to help you, all you have to do is to seek help first before anything else. If the minor are into gambling addiction already, their parents will play an important role here and I’d hope that they are more ready for this. Addiction can still be cure as long as that addict gambler helps himself to recover, it will always end up to your own desire for recovery.

That's the point for those who are addicted to gambling to tell other people so they can think about how to do therapy, including finding a way to pay the costs. If people who are addicted to gambling are students, they can be honest with their parents, and their parents will help pay for the therapy. But it all depends on all parties who help gambling addicts because if this is a cost issue, it must be discussed in more detail so that everyone can know their solutions. A low-cost solution may require the gambling addict to start a new activity that can distract him from thinking about gambling. And the gambling addict has to do different things every day to stay busy in his new routine. And there will be no time to think about gambling because once he finishes all his new activities, he will feel tired and need to rest. But this requires support and encouragement from all those who want to help because gambling addicts cannot do it alone.

You have to consider you get what you paid for.
If you are an addict and you hope to find ways to get out of your condition, you would best pay a premium where you will be pampered inside a facility rather than going back to gambling all because you didn't like the therapy. You wouldn't want to think of gambling when you are comfortably satisfied sitting in a jacuzzi and puffing a Cuban cigar.

The most effective low cost I think is to just join a gambling addiction group meeting and make new gambler friends. Who knows what could happen? Grin

Professional help to any form of addiction generally is very expensive, there is no other way to get professional help without paying for it because the ones providing the help are doing so for profit so if they must offer you such service you must pay to get it. But then for everyone with a case of gambling addiction who really wants help to stop it, they must be prepared in their mind to stop first.

The urge and determination to want to stop first is the first step to getting help if the said person is not willing to stop then no matter the level of help offered the person will not get any better. They only get better when they first accept to needing help then they go get help. The only professional help I can suggest outside paid therapy is that offered by NGO's and probably other charitable organizations they are the one's who could help by paid sponsorship or the provide you with an inhouse counselors who help the addict get out of their addiction but then firstly the addict must be willing to get help and stop

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.

Any ~~disease~~ addiction is ~~easier~~ cheaper to prevent (preventive measures) than to treat. Knowing about the threat of gambling addiction, going into an online casino is the same as going into a den, knowing that there is a predator in it. Your questions cause me confusion. The cheapest cure for gambling addiction is to “run away” from the casino. Everything else will cost you dearly. Don't look for easy ways where it is impossible.

I think this is the only solution for a long-term cure you can use other methods that will get a cure but the gambler will go back to gambling only a therapy for permanent cure is the solution

Every government like here in our country has a free consultation and if the patient cannot afford the drugs that he needs the government and some private institutions can help with the cost

They just need to look, there are help groups sponsored by those gamblers who got cured and there are government institutions that offer free packages all they have to do is ask for help addiction should not be ignored because of the cost, it is more costly if it's not cured as soon as possible.
I'm not saying it's the obligation of the government but even a poor country has a program for this, I believe this is mandated by the World Health Organization.

Yes, that is true that a therapist will be the best solution to help get through the gambling addiction but there are always other ways. I think it's not different for other addictions like drugs and other bad elements. One solution is rehabilitation which can be done at home. Disconnect the internet if possible, people can still live without it, I mean we lived before without the internet, it's just a good perk right now.
Keep yourself busy with something else. If you have a job then focus on it, if you have some spare time find something else that you love to do to avoid thinking about gambling.
Family is also a good solution. If you have kids then it will be easy. Just think about them every minute that instead of wasting money on gambling you can make them happy by taking them out to some place for kids. If none, then try nieces and nephews.

Even with a therapist there's a chance you cannot get over it because the therapist will also need your cooperation by being disciplined to stay away from it.

Therapy for gambling addiction is not cheap, but there are charitable groups dedicated to the cure of gambling addiction, It is hard to get a cure alone, especially in a third-world country where gambling addiction is very rampant.

Here in our country, we have a government-sponsored health institution but this is just for consultation only if you need a prescribed drug you need to buy it and the cost of buying this prescribed drug is not cheap.

Gambling will cause you to lose a lot of money but the family should support the addicted member and do everything to cure the addiction because every day that addiction is not treated it poses a big problem to the finances and relationship between the addicted member and his family.
There is no shortcut to cure an addict should undergo therapy to be completely cured.

- Even without counseling, it is still possible to recover from addiction. Because one's own family and close friends can greatly contribute and assist a gambling addict, they can guide him to switch to something more useful than gaming.

Because, in our country, when a gambler becomes addicted, the first person to assist them is their loved ones. And the others are being admitted to a gambling rehabilitation program, similar to one of our government's programs here.

The amount of money that you will spend on those "60 minutes" sessions is way less than what you will be spending when you become an addict. You would be doing things that you would never have thought you would do. So it is totally worth getting the help of the professionals. Those who can't afford it, can try asking help from their close friends or families that cares about them. You are addicted to online gambling, then maybe keep yourself away from the internet for more than a month. Or if you do need the internet, use it under supervision of your families. Everything is possible if you try. All you need is the will to try fix yourself.

Of course the situation looks really bad, this is why for unemployed, college or people who only receive minimum wage shouldn't gamble because they don't have enough money in the first place. I'd say it's what it's, seeking a professional will need to spend more money, but low cost solution mostly not effective because if people can control by themselves, problem of gambling addiction shouldn't be so high as present.

in my country our government is very aggressive in fighting online slot gambling because there have been many cases of slot gambling addicts committing suicide and even getting into huge debts because of irregular gambling, some of these gambling addicts have been directly taken to addiction rehabilitation centers and there are many types of addicts there, not only gambling addicts but also drug addicts and others, but support from close family or loved ones is very important in order to encourage gambling addicts to recover quickly, try to pay more attention to them and don't try to belittle their dignity.

First of all, for one to think of finding solution from gambling addiction, the person must first of all accept that he's addicted to gambling and that it's absolutely unhealthy for his life as an individual as well as his future. Then if finally admitted of gambling addiction, I think one of the easiest and low cost effective ways to stop gambling is by concluding in your heart that gambling is a destroyer of dreams and future and getting involved in it is a passport to wretchedness. That would help to give the person a totally different perspective about gambling thereby stopping gambling entirely

You say things that, unfortunately, an addicted person simply will not understand. He is sick, and his whole life needs to be re-evaluated. Only a few can climb out on their own. A good way to cure gambling is to temporarily place the addicted person in a place where he will not be able to control his freedom. Does it seem very cruel? But it's free. Another good way is to find physical work lasting seven days a week for 12–14 hours. So that the gambling addict simply has no energy left to spend time for himself but only has time to sleep. In order to recover, you need to change your thinking, and without the right ways and the right people, this is impossible for one person.

Probably one of the best alternatives is to talk with other people that had or have the same problems with gambling you could be going through, so gamblers anonymous, an organization similar to alcoholics anonymous, could be a good option, so if you have a group close to you this could be the perfect opportunity to connect with other people like you.

However it is important to remember that professional therapists could help you to overcome your inner demons faster than those groups, so it is a good idea to not disregard them just because their cost is high.

I think that there are nonprofit organizations that are helping people who are in need of these therapies and those who want to get out of gambling addiction.

They can find a way to look for another way to at least ease that addiction that they have. Like traveling or trying to do some relaxation so that they can feel that it is what they need to at least lessen the addiction that they have. There is another thread about cross addiction and that could be some low-cost solution for those who are dealing with gambling addiction but it is going to cost them another solution. IMO, I'll just do another hobby that I like that won't cost a lot of money like just doing some walking or traveling through bicycle to release those hormones and make yourself satisfied by just doing that and your time is well spent into your physical body and preservation.

Appreciate the option but you are quite forgetting that the group of people we are referring to are gamblers. They have money to bet therefore they should have money as well to seek for professional help concerning addiction. Problem here is addiction itself; you won’t be consciously aware that you are already suffering. If we would be looking for the best way to prevent addiction then that would be self discipline however this is the hardest. So once you are in that phase pf ‘addiction’ , professional help is the main solution. Setting a limitation, also under self discipline, if possible, would gradually help a gambler to move away from such condition. Set a limit to both winning and losing amounts. Another is engaging to other activity such as sports to divert attention and to not fully rely with gambling alone just to kill time.

Therapy is good if everyone has access to it, but this, IMO, is not a low-cost method in order to combat gambling addiction. Prevention is still way better than any cures or methods that everyone might suggest against gambling addiction, because in the first place, why would you combat something that isn't even existing? But if worse comes to worst, I guess intervention and introduction to another hobby that isn't going to cost much from the gambling addict is still the most effective low-cost method that anyone from all walks of life can employ. With therapy, you might have to shell hundreds of dollars per session, but in a new hobby, a few hundred might be enough to satisfy that person for a few months or even a year.

The gambling addicts can control themselves by practice of the few steps in the gambling.The therapist will charge huge money for the gambling addicts,because the doctor will understand the gambling addicts will have capacity to pay huge to their treatment by the practice in the gambling games.So the gambler better to do the practices of certain things instead of this therapy.The gambling addict was already in the loss and how he manage the big money for the therapy expenses.
