Gambling Addiction Treatment Program
Problem Gambling Services of Rhode Island (PGSRI) offers programs and support to individuals with gambling disorders. Funded by the Rhode Island Lottery and coordinated by CODAC, PGSRI provides individual assessment and referral to multiple providers throughout the state, including CODAC’s sites. For clients who are un- or underinsured, funding for 100% of treatment is provided through the RI Lottery.
It is CODAC’s standard practice to screen all patients for disordered gambling. When we identify a patient as being a current or potential disordered gambler we offer them an assessment and referral to one of CODAC’s on-site specialists for individual counseling treatment. All CODAC clinicians have attended at least two trainings on the disorder. They also receive ongoing supervision and consultation from a Certified Gambling Addiction Specialist prior to delivering services.
Additionally CODAC provides a number of treatment options including support groups, in order to address an individual’s urge to gamble, compulsive behaviors and more. Our services identifies attributes of the typical compulsive gambler in order to cease the gambling behavior and stop gambling.
