Gambling Rehab Centre Malaysia
Malaysia has one of the strongest economies in the Southeast Asian region. Tourism contributes to the country’s wealth. Due to its breathtaking beaches, Malaysia has become one of the most favorite tourist destinations in Asia. Along with the influx of tourists, illicit drugs have been covertly shipped into the country from its neighboring countries for distribution. This adds to the drugs being manufactured from local ‘laboratories’.

Types of Gambling Addiction Treatment. Various methods of treatment for gambling addiction are found in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Most of the time, gambling addiction treatment will consist of some method of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This method of treating problem gambling focuses on helping the addict to change.
The number of drug users in the country has been alarmingly increasing despite of harsh penalties, including capital punishment for grave offenders. Drug trafficking and abuse problems peaked in the 80’s, which prompted the Malaysian government to implement stricter rules and penalties. Malaysia’s Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 (Act 234) describes the punishments for trafficking, use, and sales of narcotics and illegal drugs. The National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau of Malaysia cooperates with the local drug enforcement through classification of legal pharmaceutical products and illegal drugs.
It’s sad to say that while there are more and more people getting into drugs, there are only a handful addiction rehab treatment centers in Malaysia to cater to their needs. Clients find alternatives to drug rehabs in Malaysia in neighboring countries to help them in recovery and take back control of their lives.

A new UK National Health Service (NHS) backed Primary Care Gambling Service (PCGS) that provides help for adults who have problems related to gambling has opened in London.
Developed and funded by Hurley Group, a NHS general practice (GP) partnership, the PCGS will work with the National Gambling Treatment Service to to help those suffering from gambling related harm.
Dr Clare Gerada will lead the new service, with support from a multidisciplinary team of mental health nurses, general practicioners, treatment practitioners and therapists.
The PCGS worked with charity GamCare to develop an integrated care pathway, and will also provide training to help GPs identify gambling problems in patients.
“There is evidence that many people who have problems related to gambling are in contact with their GP, but don’t necessarily talk about their gambling,” Dr Gerada said.
“We will be exploring how to identify them, and how to help them get access to the treatment that is right for them. We know from other areas of work that people value the option of getting treatment in primary care settings.”
The service will initially focus on South East London – specifically Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich – but plans are in place to expand to other boroughs within the coming months.
In addition, the PCGS will develop a competency framework for the treatment of gambling problems in primary care, and will set out the skills and experience needed for practitioners in this field. The Royal College of General Practitioners will support the PCGS with the new project.
“We welcome the development of a competency framework for gambling treatment in primary care,” Michael Mulholland, professional development officer lead for the Royal College of General Practicioners, said. “This will help GPs and other primary care workers to develop their skills in treating people who are harmed through gambling.”
Anna van der Gaag, chair of the Advisory Board for Safer Gambling, added: “This new initiative is very significant in expanding the treatment options for people who have experienced harm from gambling and for their families. We want treatment to be as accessible as possible and to remove the barriers that might exist for people seeking help.
“This is one of a number of initiatives that move us to a more joined up approach and I look forward to the lessons we can learn from this work about how we can scale up provision.”
The announcement comes after GambleAware earlier today (8 July) also set out a number of new initiatives to help promote its Safer Gambling Campaign and the National Gambling Treatment Service.

The funding body's board of trustees also responded to recent calls for changes to the funding of gambling research, education and treatment after questions were raised over the independence of its approach. This saw it look to highlight a lack of industry involvement in determining where it allocates funds, following perceived criticism from a recent report by the House of Lords Gambling Select Committee and a number of leading academics in an open letter to the British Medical Journal.
