While re-organizing the SerDP, the Program DGA was designed for the city of Bologna, that is the treatment of gambling addiction was separated from SerDP (of the town) and a specialistic Service was started, aimed exclusively to the evaluation and treatment of gambling addicts and their family. The ad-vantage of a clinic specifically dedicated to this problem is that it focuses on the patient and his/her family, according to the PDTA-DGA and facilitates the development of treatment programs that in Province SerDP could not be pro-vided due to the little number of patients suffering from DGA treated by the Service.
