On October 3, North Carolina opened two facilities designed to support its responsible gambling framework following the legalization of sports betting in March 2024.
The Center of Excellence for Gambling Addiction Policy and Practice (CEGAPP) and the Professional Development Center (PDC) began providing training, resources and professional development opportunities for the behavioral health workforce.
CEGAPP focuses on building specialized knowledge among addiction professionals, offering training in prevention, treatment and recovery, while the PDC complements this work by addressing broader workforce needs and creating mentorship pathways for new providers.
Both initiatives are led by the Addiction Professionals of North Carolina and funded by the state's Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Services.
