With the advent of computer games in human life, the problem has become catastrophic. More and more people of different ages and social status are falling into the trap of gambling and virtual games, replacing real events with them. Like other types of addictions, game addiction has a serious impact on all areas of human life. The player loses the desire to develop, self-realise, take an active part in real life. Treatment of gambling is carried out comprehensively. Unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases, players do not recognise the problem and do not agree to treatment. Is it possible to cure gambling addiction forcibly? In Ukraine, treatment of gambling addiction is possible only by consent of the patient. But there are some exceptions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-gambling-addiction-gambling-addiction\/compulsory-treatment-for-gambling-addiction\/#when_compulsory_treatment_for_gambling_addiction_is_possible\" title=\"When compulsory treatment for gambling addiction is possible\">When compulsory treatment for gambling addiction is possible<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-gambling-addiction-gambling-addiction\/compulsory-treatment-for-gambling-addiction\/#involuntary_treatment_for_gambling_addiction_cost_price\" title=\"Involuntary Treatment for Gambling Addiction Cost (Price)\">Involuntary Treatment for Gambling Addiction Cost (Price)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-gambling-addiction-gambling-addiction\/compulsory-treatment-for-gambling-addiction\/#you_may_also_be_interested_in\" title=\"You may also be interested in:\">You may also be interested in:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-gambling-addiction-gambling-addiction\/compulsory-treatment-for-gambling-addiction\/#you_may_also_need\" title=\"You may also need:\">You may also need:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when_compulsory_treatment_for_gambling_addiction_is_possible\"><\/span>When compulsory treatment for gambling addiction is possible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compulsory treatment of gambling addiction in Ukraine can be applied in certain cases when there is a real threat to a person&#8217;s life and health due to their gambling addiction. However, compulsory treatment is usually applied to people with serious life-threatening mental disorders and may include inpatient psychiatric treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process of compulsory treatment in Ukraine is regulated by legislation and is subject to medical assessment and court judgement. This approach is usually applied in cases when a person poses a threat to themselves or others. Compulsory treatment of gambling addiction cannot be carried out without an official court decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how to treat an addicted person without their consent? It is important to remember that gambling addiction affects not only the life of the player himself, but also his close environment. That is why the family and friends of the patient are ready to make any decisions in order to help their loved one. The main principle of compulsory treatment in such a case is to develop motivation to undergo therapy. Specialists of the GarMed clinic provide psychological assistance to the addict and his relatives. The programme of support and initial work on the development of motivation is carried out comprehensively with the involvement of doctors of different areas. The work of specialists is aimed at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The patient&#8217;s recognition of a problem entailing complete powerlessness to manage life on his or her own;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>getting support from loved ones and specialists who are ready to help the patient to get rid of gambling addiction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further treatment is carried out with the consent of the patient, who is ready to recognise the problem and work his way out of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"involuntary_treatment_for_gambling_addiction_cost_price\"><\/span>Involuntary Treatment for Gambling Addiction Cost (Price)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Involuntary Treatment for Gambling Addiction (Hospitalization)<\/td><td>from 3000 UAH<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Inpatient Involuntary Treatment for Gambling Addiction<\/td><td>2700 UAH<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Involuntary Treatment for Gambling Addiction Intervention<\/td><td>from 3000 UAH<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Emergency Call-Out<\/td><td>from 3000 UAH<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Motivational Psychologist Consultation at Home<\/td><td>3000 UAH<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rehabilitation Center for Gamblers<\/td><td>from 27000 UAH per month<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developing the motivation to combat gambling addiction can be a difficult process, but it is a key step on the road to recovery. The sufferer needs to explore in detail and recognise the negative effects of gambling addiction, such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>financial loss;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>health problems;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dysfunctional relationships with loved ones.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goals and values need to be identified. Think about how gambling addiction is getting in the way of achieving these goals and values. Understanding the link between struggling with gambling addiction and personal aspirations can be a powerful motivator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by setting small goals and achievements. This approach will help you gradually develop motivation and see progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, struggling with gambling addiction can be a difficult process, but developing motivation and support will help you get through the journey. If you find it difficult to cope on your own, seek help from the gambling addiction professionals at the GarMed Clinic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  .section-title {\n    font-size: 24px;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    margin-bottom: 15px;\n    color: #222;\n  }\n  .tag-container {\n    display: flex;\n    flex-wrap: wrap;\n    gap: 10px;\n    margin-bottom: 30px;\n  }\n  .tag {\n    background-color: #f0f0f0;\n    border-radius: 6px;\n    padding: 8px 15px;\n    font-size: 14px;\n    font-weight: 500;\n  }\n  .tag a {\n    text-decoration: none;\n    color: #0077cc;\n    transition: color 0.3s ease;\n  }\n  .tag a:hover {\n    color: #005fa3;\n  }\n  .section {\n    margin-top: 10px;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"you_may_also_be_interested_in\"><\/span>You may also be interested in:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"tag-container\">\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/nalbuphine-treatment-symptoms-of-addiction-treatment-techniques-and-therapy-in-a-clinic\/\">treatment for Nalbuphine addiction<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/how-methadone-treatment-is-delivered\/\">treatment for Methadone addiction<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/mdma-ecstasy-treatment-effective-methods-of-drug-dependence-therapy\/\">treatment for MDMA addiction<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/marijuana-treatment-methods-and-approaches\/\">treatment for Marijuana addiction<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/l-s-d-treatment\/\">treatment for LSD addiction<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"you_may_also_need\"><\/span>You may also need:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"section\">\n  <div class=\"tag-container\">\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/cocaine-treatment-cocaine-dependence-therapy-in-a-drug-treatment-clinic\/\">treatment for Cocaine addiction<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/treatment-for-buprenorphine-symptoms-and-features-of-addiction-methods-of-therapy\/\">treatment for Buprenorphine addiction<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/treatment-for-amphetamine-methods-medications-therapy-recommendations\/\">treatment for Amphetamine addiction<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/salt-addiction-treatment-methods-and-principles-of-getting-rid-of-salt-addiction\/\">treatment for Bath salts addiction<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/inpatient-drug-treatment-methods-and-principles-of-therapy\/\">inpatient drug addiction treatment<\/a><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2523,"parent":1798,"menu_order":89,"template":"","class_list":["post-1801","service","type-service","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/1801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/service"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/1801\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/1798"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
