Mr. Smith met with various\nnoteworthy individuals who had admitted to being addicts and were actively\nparticipating in treatment programs. Speaking from Strawberry Square, Mr. Smith\nhad the following to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We come together today to promote\nawareness of problem gambling and highlight community resources for individuals\nin need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Smith&#8217;s words were true. The United States, and Pennsylvania\nfor that matter, has been very quick to promote gaming and gambling, but there\nhas been vacuum left insofar as responsible gambling is concerned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the US consists of many individual states with their\nown approach to the issue, it becomes difficult to try and govern the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennsylvaniacasinos.com\/news\/news\/pennsylvania-to-prohibit-online-gambling-at-its-casinos\/\">problem<\/a>\ncentrally. <strong>Raising awareness<\/strong>,\nthough, has been proven to be one of the most efficient ways to fight\naddiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method&#8217;s success lies in the fact that it gradually\nstrips the activity itself of any stigma, emboldening individuals who are\nexperiencing symptoms to seek help right away rather than hide. Mr. Smith\ncontinued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>As legalized gambling\nexpands and becomes more prevalent around the commonwealth, we urge individuals\nand their loved ones to recognize when a recreational hobby becomes a more\nserious problem. Understanding that treatment and resources are available can\nhelp in having conversations with loved ones in need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Treating Gambling\nAddiction in Pennsylvania<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pennsylvania&#8217;s initiative is officially supported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncpgambling.org\/march-is-pgam\/\">National\nCouncil on Problem Gambling<\/a>. The idea behind the initiative is to publicly\nhighlight the dangers of over-indulgence and help individuals struggling with\nthe disease to get adequate help without any backlash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In regards to gambling addiction, Pennsylvania&#8217;s still\ndeveloping sports betting and iGaming industries are fully prepare to tackle\nthe issue head on. The initiative was joined by two distinct local\norganizations set-up to address the same issue as the National Council expects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Pennsylvania\u2019s\nGaming Control Board<\/strong> and <strong>the Council\non Compulsive Gambling of Pennsylvania<\/strong> will also actively seek to get\nindividuals showing symptoms into active treatment. To make sure that such\nindividuals can get help, though, the PA Council will offer <strong>a free 24\/7 line<\/strong> for those who need\nhelp or advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gambling can potentially have significant consequences, such\nas breaking away from family and friends as well as sliding into financial ruin\nto feed one&#8217;s passion for the game. Pennsylvania is treading carefully insofar as\ngambling is concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The state is making a big push later this year to launch a\nnumber of online casinos. Still, there have been several last-minute\nadjustments occasioned mostly by the newly-announced DOJ Opinion on the Wire\nAct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pennsylvania&#8217;s Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) Secretary Jen Smith met with recovering gambling addicts, officially marking the launch of the National Problem Gambling Awareness Month on March 2.
