Treatment/Counseling

In 1992, the State of Nebraska set up the Gamblers Assistance Program (GAP). GAP Providers offer many services for problem gamblers and their family members. Outpatient counseling is given in individual, group and family settings. Individual plans are set in place mostly focusing on the following areas:

• Finding hope
• Reducing financial pressure
• Regaining self-esteem
• Coping with guilt, shame, and remorse
• Stopping gambling
• Coping with urges and cravings to gamble
• Developing health relationships
• Regaining trust and becoming trustworthy
• Returning to rational thinking
