Summer 1997

Billboards were recently placed in 12 counties of the Southeast region of Minnesota as part of the Minnesota Compulsive Gambling Treatment Pilot. The billboards were spread throughout Olmsted, Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Wabasha, Winona, Houston, Mower, Steele, Freeborn, Rice and Waseca counties, informing residents that they are eligible to have all or part of the cost of outpatient treatment paid, if they meet the clinical diagnosis for compulsive gambling and demonstrate financial need. Call the Hotline at 1-800-437-3641 for further information.
