San Francisco Psychologist Helping Problem Gamblers

According to reports from sources in San Francisco, Randy Wyatt, a local psychologist and well-respected expert on addiction treatment and mental health, has signed-on with the web site Addiction.com as a treatment professional.

Mr. Wyatt, who works in Oakland and Dublin, will write articles, answer questions from users, and help addicts begin the process of recovery. The site is based in Fresno with the purpose of being a primary resource for people seeking help with different types of addiction, from drugs and alcohol to gambling, sex and overeating.

The web site is meant as a starting point for addicts to begin their recoveries. The site is expected to launch the first week of September. Currently, there are about 12 employees and already hundreds of members.

Users of the site can take tests to find out anonymously whether they are addicts and need to seek additional help. They will also have access to up-to-date articles, research, and advice from doctors and treatment specialists, as well as the chance to submit questions to experts like Wyatt and get answers.

Access to the articles, information, and expert advice will be free of charge to addicts. Addiction.com plans on making money through advertising deals and various marketing partnership channels.
