RI Gambling Treatment Program
The Effectiveness of Our Program
- The most important question we try to answer is, "Do
our patients get better, and do they stay better?"
Before we can answer that question, we need to define "recovery"
from problem gambling. There are many ways recovery can be defined,
but we measure a combination of factors, including the frequency
of gambling, the amount of money lost, distress, impairment and
loss of control over gambling.

By looking at these factors, we have concluded that 76% of our
patients had achieved significant improvement (by our
definition) at 6, 12 or 18 months after entering our program.
To our knowledge, these results are as good or better than any
published reports of other programs.
