Gambling Intervention
Addiction to gambling is considered a pathological disorder that operates similarly to that of alcoholism and drug addiction.
Have you noticed that a loved one is gambling uncontrollably? Do they center their life around their next bet or even sacrifice personal and professional relationships to feed their habit? Compulsive gambling also referred to as a gambling addiction, is a serious pathological disorder that requires treatment. Most individuals who suffer from gambling addictions want to stop, but they need the help of family and friends in order to do so.
If you suspect a loved one has a gambling addiction, contact the professionals at KD Consulting Intervention today. Let us help you with the intervention process so that you can help your loved one cope with their addiction and seek the treatment they need to overcome it.

- Spending money on gambling before bills
- Multiple failed attempts to stop gambling in the past
- Breaking the law in order to gamble

What is Gambling Abuse?
As with any pathological disorder, gambling addiction will eventually turn into abuse. Just like the mental hold drugs and alcohol have on the brain, gambling requires an addiction breaker in order to stop. Once your loved one has completely lost control of his or her ability to stop gambling, even after falling into severe debt or losing their job, it is time to get professional help. Allowing gambling to progress will only lead to other issues that can include loss of employment, loss of marriage, custody issues, loss of shelter and even starvation.
