Frequently asked questions

Is gambling treatment really free in Rhode Island?
PGSRI (CODAC, Inc.) administers the Problem Gambling Services of Rhode Island (PGSRI). 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?
