Gambling problem? Get help NOW! Financial help for gambling treatment

State funds are available for treatment for compulsive gamblers, their families and/or concerned significant others. Minnesota residents who meet the clinical diagnosis for compulsive gambling and demonstrate financial need may have all or part of the cost of treatment paid. 

The state will also pay for up to 12 hours of intervention services for a family member or concerned significant other who is a Minnesota resident and is negatively impacted by problem or compulsive gambling. A family member or concerned significant other may be seen even if the gambler is not in treatment.
