Question by christa n: Are there any gambling addiction treatment centers in Greensburg, Pennsylvania?
I have a friend who’s always gambling his money away. He’s always thinking about gambling too. I think he’s got a gambling addiction and I want to know how to find treatment centers that he can look into so that he’ll get treated. However, I haven’t convinced him to get himself treated yet. Any ideas?

Answer by christiana ta
Does anybody else know of your friend’s gambling addiction? His parents, maybe? It might be easier to convince him if you do an intervention. Gather his closest friends and family members and make him see what he’s doing to himself.

I don’t know if there are treatment centers in Greensburg that address issues of gambling. However, here are some links that may be able to help you out. You can also contact your local health services administration and inquire. Asking hospital staff may yield some results too. Good luck!
