As with drug and alcohol treatment, courts should be empowered to impose community orders and suspended sentences that include referral to specific gambling disorder treatments. Where custody is imposed, prisons should provide access to gambling treatment and peer support, equivalent to that available for drug and alcohol addiction. New clauses 28 and 29 seek to establish statutory parity, ensuring that treatment-based sentencing options are available, with continuity of care in both custody and upon release.
