Establishing Best Treatment Practices for Pathological Gamblers

There is substantial evidence that cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) can be greatly beneficial for pathological and problem gamblers. This study was begun to develop and test the effectiveness of a manualized CBT for pathological gamblers in order to determine the best treatment practices. UGSP will train a selected treatment provider in implementing the manual and in documenting treatment outcomes which will be tested in a controlled clinical trial.

Outcomes from an integrated treatment program for pathological gambling (March 2006)

Data from the Custer Center (an integrated inpatient treatment program for pathological gambling) will be analyzed to review predictors of treatment success and failure. The Custer Center is an integrated treatment program for pathological gambling and is one of the few of its kind currently operational.
