Problem Gambling

Problem gambling is any gambling behavior that can harm a person’s wellbeing, relationships, or financial stability. It’s estimated to affect 81,000 Oregonians every year. Fortunately, there is help available.

“Problem gambling is one of the most misunderstood use disorders,” says Trent Stene, Problem Gambling & ICOD Counselor. “Oftentimes, clients don’t realize free problem gambling services are available to them.”
