Overcoming Gambling

Counseling for those struggling with Gambling Addiction

"Helping People Change Their Life for Good"

The Center for Counseling & Health Resources, Inc. continues a 20-year tradition of providing comprehensive, professional excellence in counseling services and Whole-Person Care.  Almost 25,000 clients have been helped at The Center, Inc., each in a unique and individualized manner.  (Read testimonials in our clients’ own handwriting.)

Unlike other programs that are group-focused, at The Center, Inc. we focus on providing an individual, one-one-one, counseling experience.   We have found our clients realize stronger, permanent recovery from using our whole-person, one-on-one, team approach.

At The Center, Inc., we mentor success:

  • Our Founder and Executive Director, Dr. Gregg Jantz, is the author of 14 books related to eating disorders, food/weight issues, depression, and other addictions.  He is also a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist.
     

  • One of our Medical Consultants is a founding member and past president of the American Holistic Medical Association, as well as being a best-selling author himself.
     

  • Our staff receives ongoing, weekly educational training, meeting every Thursday out of the year.  We strive to maintain our leading edge position.
     

  • Each person is ultimately responsible for their own personal recovery but we give you our promise to do our very best, to give you our very best, and to stay with you each step of the way toward healing.

"For I know the thoughts I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11, NIV

Article on Counseling for Gambling, Spending Addiction & Debt Accumulation


"Turning the Tables on Gambling"
Hope & Help for an Addictive Behavior
by Gregory L. Jantz with Ann McMurray

This book tackles the difficult questions of why individuals are lured to gambling and how to combat this destructive addiction. Drawing from true stories, Jantz reveals the truth about the dangers of gambling and how to understand what the gambler is actually searching for. He identifies ways our culture supports the gambling lifestyle, what the Bible has to say about gambling, healthy ways to view and manage money, and making lifestyle choices that will lead to freedom.
