Treatment

Treatment and Support remains at the heart of the National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms In Great Britain as one of the two strategic priorities.

Greo conducted a rapid evidence review of the effectiveness of different problem gambling treatments for different groups. The full report, Effective Treatment and Support for Problem Gambling, was published in 2020.

To explore the usage of, and demand for, treatment and support services among women who gamble and who are affected by another’s gambling, GambleAware published Women in Focus: A secondary data analysis of the Gambling Treatment and Support study, in 2020.

To better understand what forms of treatment work best for whom, and under what circumstances, Greo is continually reviewing new research publications on gambling treatment and creating plain-language research snapshots of new research findings.
