Sieda Behavioral Health and Treatment Services are increasing awareness of the dangers of gambling in our ten-county catchment area.  It is important to raise awareness about Problem Gambling and its effects.

According to the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), there were 315,000 adult Iowans in 2019 that experienced at least one problem related to their gambling.  The American Gaming Association and the National Center on Responsible Gambling estimate that problem gambling impacts 6-8 million Americans every year.  Over 46% of problem gamblers also have a co-occurring substance use disorder.  Problem gambling can happen to anyone but it is treatable and recovery is possible.
