Gamble addicts should be sent to the rehad or correctional centers

[Didia Sofunichi]

Gambling is a social problem as it affects majority of the people in the society.

Gambling addition is terrible as it has brought pains to its victims, their family and friends.

An addicted gambler can do anything to raise money for stakes. He can kill, obtain through false pretence, decieve, kidnap for ransom and even sell personal and family properties.

Even compulsive gamblers always refuse to acknowledge their addiction, despite the fact that it is clear from their actions. Some parents or family members would rather deal with the addiction in secret than send the addict to a rehab center because they think doing so could stigmatize the family. Other times, when they want to take the addict to a rehab, the addict may refuse and the addiction becomes difficult to deal with.

The difficulty here is that the first step in helping a gambler who has an addiction is only when he has acknowledged that he has an addiction and is prepared to go to any lengths to overcome it. This acceptance will force the addict to adhere to his treatment regimen or other guidelines that will help him manage his addiction. Without this acceptance, it is difficult to assist a gambling addict.

Having to pay a rehab/correctional center, a gamblers family/relatives would probably just try to restrict that person's access to money. It's easy to say what they should do but the reality is that majority of them might not have the fund to send the addict for treatment.

1. What's your experience?
2. Are you a gamble addict?

1. I have heard a lot of cases involving gambling addiction that ends badly for the gambler. Most cases including robbery, thief and kidnap related crimes but here in my place thief is the most common and estafa.
2. I am personally not a gambling addict though I gamble irresponsibly before but that ends there because I refrain from gambling for years now it's not what I want and I am not a fan of it anymore.

There is no doubt that addicts to gambling can be helped if they are sent to correctional or rehab facilities, but the problem and the challenge in most countries is that these correctional and rehab facilities are not available, hence addicts or irresponsible gamblers are unable to get adequate professional help. If it is within your financial power, investing in the establishment of these correctional and rehab facilities will be an investment that will be profitable for you in the future because, moving forward, the number of addicts and people addicted to gambling is increasing by the years. A standard correctional facility will go a long way in helping people.

This will matter in the first case scenario what they’ve intended to do with such person after realizing that he or she is an addicted gambler? Sometimes I feel that the rich don’t get this addiction vibes when it gets to gambling but rather the poor are always looking to make fortune from engaging in gambling which is a false true and dissemination of fake information to the public just to entice them.

So, a gambler from a rich family is likely not going to engage in gambling to be so addicted that much that will require them going to a rehab, it is definitely going to give them more access to the money since they’re looking not to see themselves as a predecessor to an addicted gambler. Boundaries will be created and they may know better where to get them free off that than going to a rehab.

It should be like that. Because if you have been addicted to gambling and it has become worse, it will be difficult for us to make them aware again without special treatment from those who are indeed professionals in their fields. Maybe this will be very difficult to do because addicted gamblers are not necessarily willing to go there. And even many of them may not realize their condition which is very dependent on gambling and enters into compulsive addicted gamblers. This is what is worrying.

This is the danger, because the negative impacts of gambling addiction or compulsive gamblers are indeed many, such as criminal acts, long-term debts, and other unwise decisions that they sometimes make in order to get money to gamble again.

I would say that at one point in my career, I turn into an addict. But when the money stops, I mean the money that I played for gambling because it's easy and extra money, then I also stop my gambling habits simply as that.

I didn't go on the episode to borrow money from others or worst thing that you can imagine, and probably I was just lucky that I still have the right frame in mind during that time and totally shift my mindset to focus on my family instead.

You were not addicted, then. That was just bad gambling on your part. Because addiction is a mental illness, an addict loses the ability to reason, which makes it difficult for him to stand his ground and control his gambling. This is why an addict only regrets his actions after they have been completed and does not consider them beforehand. 

An addict finds it hard to watch games without trying to gamble. Gamblers who are addicted to gambling will borrow money to gamble or even sell properties to gamble because they think they can easily replace the property if they win. However, this strategy has never worked for addicted gamblers, so it is important for gamblers to avoid addiction.

That could happen for a gambling addict, but it depends because it would take money as well to pay for those services, and I don’t think that gambler would use that money for his well-being, but we all know where it’s going. It’s with the gambling.

Some family member should start helping the person realize that he is addicted and see what is happening with his life, and maybe he would decide to stop it completely

This is the scenario i could see in a third world countries like mine. Though we have the intent to correct what was going wrong on a gambling addicts but the absent of funds will surely be a factor on why it will not pushes through.

we rarely see gambling addicts going to rehab especially the poor ones. most of those who goes to rehab are guys from a family who can afford to send them to rehab and often due to meth addiction not gambling.

i have an aunt who was once  gambling addict. shes never been to a rehab still but because has loving family, they stick together. now her sons re also addicted to gambling.  they all play together and i guess i play along with them in the backyard. the good part is that playing cards made the family bond closer.

Correction centre is another word for prison and scientifically addiction is a disease so how can you justify someone who is addicted should be sent to jail unless they committed a crime already and when that happens the addiction part becomes irrelevant on most cases.

Not every addict will steal or kill, they just destroy themselves and if lucky their loved ones will notice and get them into a rehab program that will get the back to who they are.
