A 3-Hour Training with Jeremy Wampler, LCSW, ICGC II, BACC, CGT, LADC & Fiorigio (Fred) Fetta, LPC, ICGC-II, BACC, AADC

June 13, 2023

9:00am–12:00pm 


PRESENTATIONAs the Behavioral Health field continues to expand, we are learning more about how mental health and substance use disorders do not occur alone; rather they often co-occur. When it comes to gambling, which is often overlooked as an addiction, the same message applies. Depending on the study you review, clients who are receiving treatment for a mental health or a substance use disorder, have a higher probability of meeting criteria for a gambling disorder; conservatively, it is 10 times the rate of the general population.

During this training, an overview of the neurobiological process involved in addiction will be discussed. We will explore clinical criteria for Gambling Disorder in the DSM-5 and discuss three different pathways, that can lead an individual towards problematic or disordered gambling behaviors. Similarities and differences between gambling and substance use disorders will be compared. This training will contain lecture, but will also be interactive through work on a case study, learning tasks and a media discussion.

At the conclusion of the training participants will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate an understanding of the neurobiological processes involved in addictive behavior;
  2. Discuss the DSM-5 criteria for Gambling Disorder and practice identifying the criteria through a case study; and
  3. List three (3) similarities and three (3) differences between gambling and substance use disorders.
