Treatment Considerations for Gambling Disorder and ADHD

Several research studies indicate a relationship between gambling disorder & ADHD, suggesting that individuals with ADHD may have an increased risk of developing gambling-related issues. Additionally, these two disorders exhibit commonalities, such as challenges with impulse control, risk-taking behaviors, a pursuit of dopamine or novelty, and emotional volatility. In some instances, gambling may serve as a coping mechanism for managing ADHD symptoms. This presentation, by a therapist diagnosed with late-adult ADHD herself, will review existing research on the connection between gambling disorder & ADHD. It will discuss treatment considerations when working with both diagnoses and unique interventions & strategies.

Growing a Problem Gambling Peer Support Program

Sunrise Community for Recovery and Wellness, in collaboration with the NC Problem Gambling Program, has pioneered a first of its kind problem gambling peer support program. Over the past year, we have embarked on a remarkable journey marked by both triumphs and obstacles. This presentation will delve into our significant accomplishments and the challenges we’ve faced. Our objective is to share the insights we’ve gained, encouraging other regions to adopt problem gambling peer support models. Furthermore, we aspire to establish a strong framework that can serve as a blueprint for other organizations aiming to develop similar programs.
