Nevada launches online service to treat problem gamblers

The State of Nevada Department of Health and Human Services has launched Project Worth, an online service that connects residents with gambling problems to state-funded resources.

Project Worth directs problem gamblers to treatment centers throughout the state and also offers call, chat or text helplines.

Nevada is home to approximately 180,000 residents who suffer from gambling related problems.

Alan Feldman, chair of the Advisory Committee of Problem Gambling, said: “Project Worth was created to help people in the state of Nevada learn that everyone is worthy of support if they find themselves experiencing any of a range of harms from gambling — from mild to moderate to severe.”

Project Worth looks to reduce the shame and stigma that surround gambling and often keep people from seeking help.

The website, ProjectWorthNV.org, directs visitors to six state-funded treatment centers: three in the northern part of the state and three in southern Nevada.

Feldman said: “We want Nevadans to know that if they struggle with any kind of a gambling problem, there are treatment resources available on both the state and national levels to help them redefine their personal worth. And these resources are free or very low cost.”
