We are dedicated to elevating public awareness of this disorder and educating the public and private sectors. Our comprehensive website moves visitors through an array of clinical and situational assessment tools, a wealth of background information, and a spectrum of recovery, treatment and counseling resources. Our toll-free helpline enables callers to speak directly with a peer in recovery from gambling disorder who can listen with compassion, understand their pain, triage their needs, and provide immediate and appropriate referrals. ACCG maintains close and vital relationships with the recovery community, including Gamblers Anonymous and Gam-Anon, inpatient treatment and outpatient counseling sectors, and the criminal court and correctional systems.
