Offering outpatient assessment and treatment
Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation - An individual's level of problem
gambling is assessed using the South Oaks Foundation Gambling Screen
(SOGS) and other gambling assessment instruments as indicated. A thorough
mental health and substance abuse examination is conducted including
depression diagnostic screening.

Individualized Outpatient Treatment Services -  All treatment is individualized
according to a defined treatment plan and is conducted using a
cognitive-behavioral, evidence-based treatment approach within a relapse
prevention framework to address financial issues, self-care, relationship issues
in addition to gambling problems.

Psycho-Educational Group - Spouses, significant others and family members of
gamblers are included in the treatment process from the beginning. A
specialized pyscho-educational group for codependent family members provides
loved ones with information, tools and boundaries to help support recovering
gamblers.

Family Therapy - A whole-system treatment approach is adopted to return the
gambler and his/her family to a healthy and balanced state. Treatment options
are available for an individual, couple or family group, on an as-needed basis.

Consultation, Community Education and Speaker's Service - Lectures,
interviews, private consultations, and educational presentations are warmly
accepted. Gambling-related issues can be tailored to your group's specific
needs. No speaking engagement is too large or small.

Expert Court Testimony - Dr. Pike is qualified as an expert witness of
pathological gambling in court testimony serving both local and federal legal
systems. She has experience with both civil and criminal cases. Consultation
and deposition services are upon request.
