Problem gambling, often called the hidden addiction, is real - just ask those who are dealing with it. Ask their families and friends. Fifteen million (15,000,000) Americans show some form of problem gambling behavior. Gambling can be addictive as alcohol and other drugs. Problem gambling can cause personal, social, and financial problems. If you are concerned about yourself or a loved one, there is help. You are not alone.
