Cocaine And Gambling Related
June 7, 2001
Research from the Washington University School of Medicine found that cocaine-addicted individuals are nearly two times more likely to have serious gambling problems than those who are not cocaine-dependent. The results of the study were announced recently at a meeting of the American Society of Addiction Medicine.
Nearly 1,000 people participated in the study, including 512 who were currently undergoing drug treatment. Nearly 30% of the study participants undergoing drug treatment had gambling problems and nearly half of those suffered from PGD, or "pathological gambling disorder."
