As opportunities to gamble expand across the country, so too are programs that treat gambling addictions.

The John Brooks Recovery Center is now offering a program to treat people with a gambling addiction, the center said this week in a news release. Patients admitted to the program must be diagnosed with a co-occurring substance-use disorder.

Staff at the Brooks center, which has locations in Atlantic City, Mays Landing and Pleasantville, is providing its gambling treatment at multiple locations.

“There is a Gambling Treatment Program at our residential facility in Mays Landing, as well as our outpatient sites in Pleasantville and Atlantic City,” Brooks center CEO Michael Santillo said.
