Treatment of Gambling Disorder
Hours: 2.00
Gambling involves wagering something of value for something else of value. Gambling can be a fun, leisurely activity. However, gambling can quickly evolve into an addiction, resulting in physical, social, psychological, financial, and legal consequences. Gambling addiction also co-occurs with other behavioral health conditions, including depressive, anxiety, substance use, trauma-related, and bipolar disorders. As such, screening and assessment of co-occurring conditions is paramount for effective treatment. The goal of this course is to provide psychologists, substance use counselors, social workers, and professional counselors in health and human services settings with information about diagnosing and treating gambling disorder.
