Chris Tuell, EdD, LPCC-S, LICDC, Lindner Center of HOPE Coordinator of Addiction Services, participated in the 2012 Addiction Professional Panel Series on Gambling Addiction and Related Co-Morbidities in Cleveland on Thursday, August 9. Approximately 50 guests were in attendance.
Gambling is one of the most ancient and universal aspects of human behavior. Games of chance have been with us throughout human civilization and in virtually every culture. For the majority of individuals, gambling behaviors do not become problematic. However, for those who become addicted they often find themselves caught in a serious behavioral disorder associated with job loss and unemployment, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, theft, dishonesty, family disruption, and suicide. Research indicates that when a casino is constructed, rates of pathological gambling increase. Recent advances in the understanding of the addictive brain, as well as the co-morbid aspects of gambling, have given rise to a more integrative approach towards treatment. Lindner Center of HOPE offers a clinical diagnostic assessment and treatment approach to pathological gambling, which is integrated and comprehensive. We believe the issue of pathological gambling is a serious disorder that is destroying lives every day, and requires a level of care which integrates the mind, body, and spirit.

Program will work to keep patients out of the hospital, while providing intensive mental health treatment in a safe setting
When an adult’s daily functioning is impaired by mental illness, yet criteria is not met for hospitalization, the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides intensive treatment in a safe and therapeutic environment, without full hospitalization. Partial hospitalization helps patients progress to the point where standard outpatient appointments can be effective. This program is also used as a step-down program from hospitalization, with the intent of gradually easing an adult back into their home environment.
The program will operate Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and enrollees attend 5 days per week for up to 4 weeks. The program offers some flexibility in design, so that the PHP treatment team and the enrollee can work together to create the right treatment plan for each individual.
