Self-Screening for Gambling
Gambling Disorder often goes undetected.
Many individuals do not receive the care they need for their gambling disorders. This lack of treatment can be due to undiagnosed conditions or a lack of awareness about the extent of their gambling issues. With timely identification of these challenges, early intervention is possible. Below is a self-screening tool for both adults and adolescents that can help identify potential gambling issues. This tool is not meant to diagnose but to assist you or a loved one in recognizing the need for a gambling health assessment at Club Recovery.
