This presentation will first review currently available and evidenced-based treatments for gambling disorder. Then, emerging data from treatment approaches for mental health and addictive disorders that may impact the course of gambling disorder will be discussed, including, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Ketamine, Psilocybin and Glucagon Receptor Agonists. Clinicians and prevention specialists will be encouraged to review how these treatments may apply to individuals with gambling disorder and co-occurring disorders and how collaborations with other mental health and addiction treatment providers can be forged.
