Question

I have a friend who should probably get help. Any rehab centers in IL, for a gambling problem?

Answer 1

A gambling addiction is tough. My mother was a gambling addict and alcoholic, for 28 years she deteriorated. Until she found the strength and courage to accept she needed help. You can’t force anyone to get better but you can give them the tools and knowledge to make a better life for themselves.

I hope your friend finds the strength and courage like my mom did to overcome the struggles.  There are some really wonderful facilities here in Illinois. The Genesis Therapy Center has been around awhile and can help with counseling and coping with addictions of all kinds. http://www.allofillinois.com/Genesis-The...

And here’s several clinics that may be of some help. http://www.allofillinois.com/Category/Ga...

  Hope this helps.  Good luck and best wishes.
