Gambling Addiction Services
For most people, gambling is a form of recreation, pleasurable though not often profitable. For some, however, the pleasure of gambling has spiraled out of control. It has become a serious problem that is similar to an addiction to alcohol or other drugs. A person with a gambling disorder can't stop – even when gambling becomes destructive.

Gambling Addiction Programs
GEAR (Gambling Evaluation and Reduction)
A confidential, educational, phone-based program to help participants steer away from potentially harmful gambling patterns – without going to a treatment center. GEAR combines phone consultation with certified counselors, workbook exercises, and referral resources to give participants the tools and motivation to make good choices about if and how much to gamble. There is no charge for GEAR and it is easy to enroll. Simply call these toll-free numbers:
- 1-877-278-6766 (24-hour help line) or
- 1-877-870-0177 (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday – Friday, PST)
A qualified advisor will talk to you about your gambling to determine if GEAR is right for you.
Outpatient Treatment
Professionally delivered, face-to-face interventions at our agency are provided for the gambler or family member. This free treatment includes assessment, individual treatment planning, one on one counseling and/or case management sessions, group counseling, family involvement (if appropriate), and aftercare planning.
Contact us at Linn/Benton Gambling Treatment 541-967-3819 to schedule an appointment.
Residential Care and Crisis Respite Services
For those whom GEAR or outpatient treatment does not work, crisis-respite or inpatient gambling treatment is available. These interventions are more intensive in that the client resides, either briefly (crisis-respite) or for a longer period of time (residential) in a treatment facility. Individuals utilizing this level of care must be referred from an outpatient gambling treatment program and may be charged a fee.
Preventing Gambling Problems
Our services also include prevention and outreach programs such as:
- community awareness presentations
- exhibit/displays on problem gambling
- classroom presentations
- educational materials, handouts, pamphlets
- consultation to community groups
- information for parents, educators, health professionals, and others
