Cost of Services
Bettor Choice Programs provide services at little or no cost. Problem gamblers and their families are often in debt and unable to pay for treatment. Treatment is never refused due to financial reasons. Some services are free and others are billed according to income. Gambling debts are often taken into consideration when establishing ability to pay. Medical insurance may cover all or part of the expense.
Your therapist or a Bettor Choices staff person will be able to answer questions about fees and payment arrangements
