West Virginia’s Problem Gambling Help Network turns 25

“….Every state has a 1-800-Gambler,” said Sheila Moran, marketing and communications director for First Choice Services. “What we do is a little different than other states — we have a pretty comprehensive treatment program.”

“Some people are ready for serious treatment, and so in that case, we link them with one of our counselors who are trained in treating gambling addiction, and we pay for that treatment,” she said. “And they can go up to 20 times to see them.”
