Frequently asked questions

Is gambling treatment really free in Ohio?
Problem Gambling Network of Ohio (PGNO) administers the Ohio Gambling Telehealth Network (OGTN). Treatment cost coverage depends on residency and program eligibility — verify the specifics on the official page below.
Do I need insurance?

What if I don't qualify?
