            Recovery and Treatment

In 1982, the State of Connecticut established the Compulsive Gambling Treatment Program. The program has successfully treated hundreds of problem gamblers and their families.

On January 15, 1998, gambling treatment became available at sites across Connecticut. At any of the Bettor Choice sites, an individualized treatment plan is developed for each client, and may include individual, group, marital, and/or family therapy. Financial counseling is also available. Clients are seen weekly, or more frequently, depending on need. Typically, treatment addresses the following issues:

  • Finding hope
  • Reducing financial pressure
  • Regaining self-esteem
  • Coping with guilt, shame, and remorse
  • Stopping gambling
  • Coping with urges and cravings to gamble
  • Developing healthy relationships
  • Regaining trust and becoming trustworthy
  • Returning to rational thinking

When you call a Bettor Choice site, please indicate a need for help with gambling-related issues.
