Gambling disorder and opioid use disorder often occur together, driven by shared risk factors such as impulsivity, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions, highlighting the need for comprehensive, integrated care.
The Nevada State Conference on Problem Gambling is an annual professional education and networking event addressing this significant community health issue that affects as many as 6% of Nevada adults. The conference attracts addiction and mental health professionals and interested stakeholder groups including Prevention, Education, Research, Government, Gaming Industry and the Recovery Community.
The Annual Conference is supported in part by a grant from the State of Nevada Problem Gambling Prevention and Treatment Fund. The Nevada Council on Problem Gambling is a non-profit 501(c)(3) information and referral agency, and an Affiliate of the National Council on Problem Gambling. The Council does not take a stand for or against legal gambling.
