About Gambling Addiction Class

Ari Novick, PhD.The GamblingAddictionClass.com course was designed for individuals who need or want to take a Gambling Addiction Education class for personal growth or for a legal or occupational requirement. Our program was designed by gambling addiction experts with the guidance of Dr. Ari Novick, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. These are educational classes only and should not be taken as a substitute for medical or psychological counseling or advice or as a replacement for in/out patient treatment.

We offer two programs. A standard 4 hour class and an Advanced 10 hour class. The primary difference is the breath and depth of knowledge presented between the two courses.
