On July 16, 2022, the U.S. transitioned to using the 988-dialing code, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to strengthen and expand the existing Lifeline.
Louisiana has two certified Lifeline centers, the Louisiana Association on Compulsive Gambling (LACG) and ViaLink who are ready to respond to 988 calls. Â Both centers provide backup to each other to help ensure calls, chats, and texts are answered by an in-state Lifeline center with access to local resources.
The Louisiana Association on Compulsive Gambling is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance through treatment and helpline services to individuals and families who may be affected by problem gambling, substance use or suicide. We neither advocate for nor oppose gambling but promote education, prevention and treatment for those in need of our services.
