My brother's always gambling his money away. He incessantly asks our parents for money and then he just uses it so he could gamble. He would make up a variety of excuses to explain where the money went and my parents actually believe him. I think I'm now ready to tell my parents about what he really does. I also want to find treatment centers that can deal with his case. How?
I'm so sorry about what has happened to your brother. I think it would be right to let your parents know about this. Oftentimes, gambling addiction leads not only to problems of a financial nature, but also causes various psychological problems for family members and other people close to the addict. I think it would take more than just a little coaxing to get your brother accept the fact that he indeed has a problem with his gambling. As for finding an addiction treatment center, below are links that can help you find one. You can also ask your parents to take your brother to a psychologist. The psychologist will surely help you out in finding treatment centers. Good luck!

I recently stumbled upon a blog site (http://www.gamblinganon.blogspot.com), and the blogger claims that gambling is an addiction and not a disease so anyone can quit. I was always taught that my gambling addiction was caused by chemical mix ups in my brain making me more impulsive?
An addiction is a disease.
It is the brain giving priority to the addiction, over free will and possibly even over self-preservation.
There is a good discussion about "What is addiction" at

Does Video Game Play Lead to bGambling Addiction/b? | GamePolitics
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Adelaide has linked regular video game play to gambling addiction.
Australia's ABC News reports on comments by Paul Delfabbro of the University's school of psychology. Delfabbro's team studied more than 2,500 Australian teens and found that more than half admitted to gambling within the preceding 12 months. Delfabbro commented on his findings:
If you look at those young people who are classified as pathological gamblers you will find that they do have a higher frequency of involvement with many different types of videogame. They're much more likely to play games on Xboxes and similar consoles. They are also more likely to play arcade games...
Some young people who don't have a lot of structured activities in their life... what they'll often do is spend very large amounts of time playing videogames or often be more likely to be the ones who go off to street venues to play arcade games.
Being in a gang is a structured activity, right? Let's get all these teens out of those totally random arcades and casinos and into the friendly social environs of a mafia family!
...Some Popular Drugs Rehab Facilities Reviewed : Crack the bGambling/b Code
Filed Under Gambling Code
When seeking a Drugs Rehab center there are many different choices. While no one can say if one facility works better than another, many popular ones use a combination of detoxification, along with therapists and other trained professionals. There are many other things that are combined together to make recovery possible.
While it is up to the individual to find the right facility that works, there are some things to watch out for, and specifically what to look for. First make sure that any Drugs Rehab facilities you may be considering are licensed professionals. While some other groups may be formed from recovering addicts, they have no better chance of helping an addict as any licensed professional, and often use tactics that do more harm than good.
Make sure that the facility chosen is well away from any influences of family, friends, dealers, or anyone else. The further away it is, the less likely a patient will have temptations. This is also true from other patients that are there as well. They will be out of their element too, making it less likely for them to hook up or have drugs brought into the center. Many of these centers require that close friends and family member stay away for at least enough time for the patient to be detoxified.
