No addiction can be "fixed". Addiction (process or substance) is a chronic disease that can be put into remission with treatment and good ongoing care.
Most states have a toll-free number that can point you toward resources to help. No medication is specifically effective or evidence-based for gambling. A therapist experienced in this is your best bet.
People don't realize that process addictions are as hard to treat, or harder than substance dependence. Good for you for recognizing you need help and good luck.

Yes, gambling addiction is no different than other types of addictions let's say like alcohol. Therapy can be a tremendous game changer when it comes to gambling addition. First you must figure why the addition started in the first place then work towards coping mechanisms to battle the addition.

Like any addiction Therapy is a aid not a cure. So therapy for a person who deals with gambling addiction can help as long as the individual do the work and show up in the sessions.
