24-hour Gambling Help (877-2-STOP-NOW)

Did you know Oregon has a Problem Gambling Help Line? The line is staffed around the clock by professional counselors with problem gambling expertise... Callers can ask questions about problem gambling issues of concern to them. When appropriate, counselors conduct brief assessments and motivational interviews. They can then makes referrals based on screening information, clinical judgment, and available resources.
