Sunrise’s Problem Gambling Program is designed to help the patient become more educated about gambling disorder and problems related to gambling. The program aims to prevent and reduce the potential harm associated with problem gambling, provide effective treatment and recovery services for individuals struggling with gambling disorder, and collaborate with partners in the field to advance problem gambling treatment and research.
The program provides the following services:
Each patient will receive an individualized treatment plan that outlines objectives, interventions, and measurable outcomes. The Problem Gambling Program will utilize evidence-based approaches such as Motivational interviewing and personalized feedback to guide treatment interventions. Treatment will address financial consequences of problem gambling, including developing financial management plans, and coping strategies for loan and debt collectors. Clients will be encouraged to participate in self-help groups such as Gamblers Anonymous and other 12-step programs
Screeners such as the Brief Biosocial Gambling Screen and SOGS (South Oaks Gambling Screen) will be completed if patient indicates or if their primary counselor identifies a potential gambling problem. Once the screener is completed, the primary counselor will submit a referral to the Problem Gambling Program group to oversee coordination of care.
Problem gambling is a serious condition characterized by an uncontrollable urge to keep wagering despite the toll it takes on your finances, relationships, and well-being. You may need professional treatment if you find yourself constantly thinking about gambling, lying to loved ones about your losses, or betting money you cannot afford to lose. Another major warning sign is experiencing intense restlessness or irritability whenever you attempt to cut back or stop completely. When gambling ceases to be a form of entertainment and instead becomes a source of stress, anxiety, or desperation, it is time to reassess your habits. If you are at all unsure about whether your relationship with gambling has crossed the line into an addiction, the safest and healthiest choice is to seek professional treatment.
