Union of Pan Asian Communities (UPAC)
Problem Gambling Treatment Program
UPAC's Mission
The mission of the Union of Pan Asian Communities is to improve the general well-being and education of the Asian, Pacific Islander and other ethnic communities of San Diego County. UPAC recognizes the diverse ethnic and cultural identities and strengths of these communities and their need for self-sufficiency.
What They Do
It can be difficult to manage daily life when gambling has gotten out of control. Often referred to as a “hidden addiction,” problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, position, education, or income, and it can go undetected for a long time. The good news about gambling addiction is that treatment is effective and recovery is attainable. There is hope and help for anyone struggling with a gambling problem. UPAC Problem Gambling Services offers both outpatient and intensive outpatient services consisting of individual and/or group sessions that are no-cost state-funded and fee-for-service. They will meet you wherever you are and will help you reach the goals you want. They will work together with you as a team to support you on your journey of learning, growth, and healing. If you have an honest desire for help, they are here for you.
UPAC Problem Gambling Services is a California Gambling Education and Treatment Services (CalGETS) State Authorized Provider funded by the California Office of Problem Gambling through the UCLA Gambling Studies Program.
