Oregon sports gambling addiction treatment faces growing demand
“The Oregon Lottery has reported more than $3.5 billion wagered since sports gambling became legal in the state in 2019. But as betting moves to smartphones, recovery programs are struggling to keep up with demand. Kate Madden, assistant director of Lewis and Clark Problem Gambling Services, said her program’s waiting list is “heartbreakingly long” at three to four months. When similar cases sought help in 2017, treatment was available within days. ‘It’s huge and it’s one of the most difficult treatments areas that we have. Because people wake up in the middle of the night, they’re distressed, they’re stressed out. They just they want to feel something other than what they’re feeling, and they can turn to their phone’ Madden said.”
