Services Qualified gambling counselors offer a full continuum of gambling treatment services. The PGS staff is committed to providing the best possible confidential individualized care to our clients. Assessment & Evaluation Each person’s situation is unique and deserves individual attention. When an individual requests services, we provide a thorough evaluation to clearly and effectively determine the extent of difficulties experienced and recommend appropriate services. Clients are screened for co-occurring disorders and other concerns so that desired treatment or referral can be provided. Family Services Family counseling is a vital component of gambling treatment. It is important for significant others in the affected person’s life to obtain adequate support during and after the treatment process. Assistance to concerned persons is available even if the problem gambler is not involved in treatment. Individual & Group Counseling The frequency and amount of problem gambling services are tailored to meet the needs of the individual and may include counseling sessions provided in a group, individual, or family setting. We offer both day and evening services. Emergency assistance is available 24 hours a day. Continuing Care Individuals completing the primary treatment phase for problem gambling need continued support to maintain recovery. Prelude offers individual sessions and groups to help the individual build and maintain the support system they need. In addition, Prelude believes gambling-specific mutual assistance groups are important to recovery. Financial Counseling Counselors will provide the following financial counseling, as needed: evaluation of a client’s financial status, establishing a budget/debt payment plan, discussing financial debt options, and creating a money management plan for the future. People needing assistance with more involved situations like bankruptcy and insurmountable debt will be referred for more extensive financial services. Transitional Housing Temporary housing is available for problem gamblers who have lost their housing due to gambling or whose housing situation is not conducive to their recovery. Prevention/Education Prevention/education programming for all ages is available in a variety of settings, including schools, churches, homes, and clubs.
