Question by annalise is: How can I find an addiction treatment center for gambling addiction in Kemah, Texas?
[rewrite]My brother’s always gambling his money away. He incessantly asks our parents for money and then he just uses it so he could gamble. He would make up a variety of excuses to explain where the money went and my parents actually believe him. I think I’m now ready to tell my parents about what he really does. I also want to find treatment centers that can deal with his case. How?

I’m so sorry about what has happened to your brother. I think it would be right to let your parents know about this. Oftentimes, gambling addiction leads not only to problems of a financial nature, but also causes various psychological problems for family members and other people close to the addict. I think it would take more than just a little coaxing to get your brother accept the fact that he indeed has a problem with his gambling. As for finding an addiction treatment center, below are links that can help you find one. You can also ask your parents to take your brother to a psychologist. The psychologist will surely help you out in finding treatment centers. Good luck!

You can not legally gamble in Texas. Does he go else where (other states to gamble)? Kemah is right outside of Houston and I am sure there are TONS of treatment centers in Houston. Just get a phone book and call around.
