If you're dealing with gambling disorder in your organization, stop by booth 2861-4. We'll walk you through our outcomes data and how we're making evidence-based treatment better and more accessible.

Today, Americans can bet on anything. But if you are addicted to online gambling or sports betting, historically your options have been few and far between. Called the “hidden” addiction for a reason, gambling addiction now impacts tens of millions of Americans. A culture of gambling has been normalized. Almost every day we learn about new gamblified video games, financial trading and cryptocurrency platforms, and other opportunities to engage in gambling - most commonly from an omnipresent smartphone. Birches Health was created to help solve this problem. Over the past two years, we have built the largest national network of specialized behavioral addiction therapists, gone in-network with 100+ insurance plans and many state Departments of Health, and built a world-class corporate and clinical team. Above all, we are so proud to have helped thousands of patients gain access to the leading evidence-based clinical program and a viable pathway to recovery. Brock E.W. Turner from Axios has more (link in comments). We’re hiring across the board! https://lnkd.in/eMBK84YN
