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. 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 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. 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. 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.
