Problem Gambling Treatment Colorado
Gambling disorder (GD), also referred to by the general population as gambling addiction, affects approximately 2% of the U.S. adult population. For the state of Colorado that equates nearly 120,000 residents. That being said, GD afflicts segments of the population in varying proportions. For instance, members of the military are 3.5 times more likely to develop problematic gambling behavior. In a state where 7.4% of the population are veterans, the implications are clear. Further, it’s also important to note that residents who struggle with other mental or behavioral health disorders generally have greater vulnerabilities to GD. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and schizophrenia are all mental health disorders that co-exist with problem gambling. Given that about 30% of adults in the state report symptoms of anxiety or depression, the call to action for greater access to problem gambling treatment in Colorado grows even louder.
Problem Gamblers Help Online
The 2024 Colorado Health Access Survey found that the top reason residents reported they didn’t get needed mental health care in the year prior was that there were not enough mental health care workers available to work with their respective schedules. Now consider the fact that problem gambling treatment requires specialized counselor training. Consequently, Colorado residents struggling with GD have been left without access to therapeutic interventions for far too long. Thankfully, this has now changed via the inception of Kindbridge Behavioral Health’s Problem Gamblers Help Line. Our online service offers online support that residents can access from anywhere via their computers or mobile devices. Moreover, Kindbridge’s Colorado Military Veterans Project offers FREE counseling services for resident members of the military.
