I am not talking about regulations on the casinos themselves, actually. I am talking about groups and organizations which are supposed to help people to cope with addictions and situations which have negatively affected their standards of living, which are the ones unfunded and lacking economic resources.
On the other hand, if we talk about government agencies which are supposed to be a branch of the government, then it would be foolish to refer to them as unfunded organizations. They are funded by the taxpayers' dollars and are one of the most important branches, it just takes to look at the American IRS, which funding goes up the billions of dollars.
When you mentioned a group that helps people fight addictions do you mean something in the form of a none governmental group that promotes and shares the ideas and supports that get people out of the huk of addiction because it is the only way an external body will get involved in the life of the gamblers whois already addicted.
But then also, we have some government agencies such as the correctional centres, and rehabilitation centres that focus on treating cases of addictions that gambling addictions fall between.
Yes, that is what I meant, private and non profit organizations which try to improve the quality of life of those who struggle with any kind of addiction. Also, I those rehabilitation centers which are supported by the government, depending on the country one lives in, they can be either pretty good or pretty bad for the well being of their inmates. In my country, mental health is a topic which can be very stigmatized and the rehabilitation centers are more like prisons for families to throw their addicted children or parents, instead a place where people get the ttention they need to reincorporate themselves into society.
I have a friend who was in one of them and the living conditions are low.
Since you mentioned rehab centers, I assume there are some of them as well in your country of origin, would you care to let me know how good they are and whether you consider they may help to talke the problem of those who are addicted to substances or to gambling?
