Frequently asked questions

Is gambling treatment really free in New Jersey?
Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey (CCGNJ) administers the CCGNJ Network of Gambling Treatment Providers. Treatment cost coverage depends on residency and program eligibility — verify the specifics on the official page below.
Do I need insurance?
State-funded programs are designed to serve people without insurance, with insurance gaps, or whose insurance doesn’t cover gambling-disorder treatment. Many programs are payer-of-last-resort — they fill the gap when other coverage isn’t available.
What if I don't qualify?
Cope Compass also lists treatment providers who accept various insurance plans, sliding-scale providers, and private-pay options. Our directory filter at /find-help/ lets you search by insurance and provider type.
