McNeese State University
Project for the Treatment of Problem Gambling

“Louisiana…is a leader in the provision of problem gambling services…Louisiana has developed a comprehensive statewide program, and one that ensures that all state residents receive access to inpatient or outpatient treatment regardless of their financial circumstances. The latter point is an important one.  Problem gamblers are unique in the medical annals, for they deplete the very resources that they often need to get better…Louisiana residents addicted to gambling have a “safety net” built by a coalition of state, private, and service provider organizations”.¹

  Problem gambling affects not only the individual, but also those around them. If you or someone you love needs help, please call (337) 475-5964 for more information.
