Gambling as a Co-Occurring Disorder

Integrating gambling within behavioral health discussions

There has been a dramatic shift in the past 10 years in both the substance use and mental health fields. Not only are providers recognizing the importance of integrating treatment for multiple substances (e.g. alcohol, drug and tobacco use) but also the need to include mental health disorders into clinical formulations. However, the screening, assessment and treatment of gambling disorder often falls through the cracks, even in well-developed co-occurring disorder enhanced programs. The content discussed in this webinar, will assist treatment and prevention professionals to integrate gambling within behavioral health discussions.
