A study found that people with gambling addiction in Quebec rarely use the province’s rehabilitation services.
A recent study by McGill University and the Douglas Research Center, published in the Journal of Gambling Studies, revealed that individuals struggling with gambling addiction in Quebec do not frequently seek help from the province’s rehabilitation services. The research delved into various factors influencing the utilization of specialized addiction treatment for gambling disorders, highlighting a significant lack of engagement with available support programs.
The findings underscore a concerning trend where those in need of assistance for gambling addiction in Quebec are not accessing the dedicated rehabilitation services provided by the province. This underutilization raises questions about the effectiveness of current outreach efforts and the barriers preventing individuals from seeking help for their gambling-related issues.
