GEAR (Gambling Evaluation and Reduction Program)

Oregon’s Gambling Evaluation and Reduction Program, GEAR, is designed to meet the needs of less severe problem gamblers or those for whom the nearest program is inaccessible. GEAR is a structured program that offers a self-change workbook and phone counseling on a weekly basis with a gambling counselor.

Gamblers Anonymous

Gamblers Anonymous (GA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they solve their common problem and help others to recover from a gambling problem. Click here to see the listing of GA meetings in Oregon.
