All states except Utah and Hawaii have some type of gambling available. There are currently approximately two million addicted people and, unfortunately, only 8% of these people never seek treatment (Faerber, 2013). Gambling addiction and drug addiction work very similarly. Both seek some of the same predispositions for impulsivity and reward seeking (Faerber, 2013). Just as in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction, the first step for the person in recovery is to admit that they have a gambling problem. From there, seeking treatment is a must. For gambling addiction, medications and therapy work best to tame the compulsions. Opioid antagonists, such as Naltrexone, indirectly inhibit the production of dopamine by brain cells, thus reducing the desire to gamble (Faerber, 2013). The best therapy for gambling addiction is cognitive behavioral therapy. It teaches people to resist unwanted thoughts and habits, thus teaching them how to stay away from gambling. Casinos are also taking care of gambling addiction by paying attention to unhealthy patterns of gamblers, such as showing up multiple times a week and spending ever-increasing amounts of money.
