Treatment
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Counseling
Counseling for compulsive gambling may include cognitive-behavioral therapy . This type of therapy can help you learn to correct the irrational or dysfunctional beliefs that lead you to gamble, find alternate responses to stress, develop social skills, and prevent relapse. Counseling can also help uncover what lead you to compulsively gamble.
Medications
There is some evidence that people who compulsively gamble may benefit from medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, mood stabilizers, opioid antagonists, and bupropion (an antidepressant and smoking cessation medication).
