Problem Gambling

It is important to recognize that most people can gamble without negative consequences. However, there are a small percentage of people who gamble and suffer enormous social, economic, and psychological implications. Individuals, families and communities all suffer from problem gambling and the costs go far beyond the money that is lost.

The Office of Substance Abuse is part of a Maine coalition that includes the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations, the Gambling Control Board, Maine Council on Problem Gambling, ME211 and several other state and local agency partners. The coalition works to address the issues of problem gambling from a prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery perspective.
