This lengthy article is the second half of a two-part series that profiles a Calgary nurse’s descent into gambling addiction and her path to recovery. After hitting rock bottom, she sought treatment from Aventa, Addiction Treatment for Women, a Calgary-based recovery centre that helps women with alcohol, drug and gambling addictions. The 28-day in-patient program was key in allowing the woman to begin the process of recovery from her addiction and to re-connect with her family.
