Alcoholism and gambling addiction
Visiting a bar can be an enormous challenge for patients. Visual and acoustic stimuli seem seductive and inviting. In this scenario, those affected make their way in step by step.
Description of the scenario
Your patient starts off in the entrance area of a bar and can either go to the bar itself or to the slot machines. Three slot machines are occupied and one is free. Depending on the treatment, the therapist has different options.
- Click on “bar“: The slot machines disappear and the focus is on the bar.
- Click on “gambling”: The slot machines are then more noticeable due to the lights and noises and thus should entice the patient.
For the patients, there are the following interaction possibilities:
- They move through the room either by themselves or by clicking on the teleport points.
- At the bar they can choose different drinks by clicking on a drinks list.
- They can pick up the drink they have ordered and carry it or put it back.
- They can activate the free slot machine by pressing a button and win something.
The therapist can trigger the following additional actions:
- If the patient is standing at the bar, with one click the bartender can pull a pint and serve it to the patient. This can also be taken in their hand and carried to a table.
- The other guests, including speech sounds, can be faded in or out.
- At the slot machine, the therapist can trigger a win for the patient.
