The National Problem Gambling Helpline Network (800.522.4700) is available tollfree 24 hours a day, 7 days a week everywhere in the U.S. All calls are strictly confidential. When you call the helpline, a counselor will listen to your concerns and answer your questions about problem gambling. The counselor may ask you questions to help determine the most appropriate resources for your situation and then they will give you information on how to access those resources. Everything you discuss with the counselor is confidential. You will be referred to services in your area that may include counselors, self help groups, treatment centers and a variety of other resources.

If she likes to read, she can find a lot on this subject through public libraries, also could browse through books at amazon.com or other bookseller. When I was struggling with compulsive behavior issues, books helped me a lot.
