Natural recovery

Recovery language

Definition

Getting better without formal treatment or a support group. It is the most common route out of gambling problems and it is badly under-counted, because the people who take it never appear in any treatment or helpline statistic.

Preferred phrasing

"natural recovery" or "self-change."
