[PW] Compulsive gambling

[Bratton, Phyllis]

Medline has a site, arranged by state, for health related services:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/golocal/index.html

It is called Go Local, and while sponsored by the NLM, really depends on
medical librarians in each state to keep it up.  However, the link above
will take you to a map and you can click on all these states.  The North
Dakota version has a lot of mental health resources in it.

Subject: [PW] Compulsive gambling

I am working for an agency that is trying to find addiction treatment 
centers in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee that treat 
compulsive gambling.  I am having difficulty finding treatment centers 
that have a program for gambling, particularly in Virginia.  I have 
searched Google using "gambling treatment centers," and some other 
combinations.  I have contacted the lottery commissions in the various 
states.  I have tried several online yellow pages.  The problem with the

last is that centers listed as treating gambling in the yellow pages, do

not include that treatment on their web site.

Does anyone have additional suggestions?

Thanks for any and all help.
