Algamus offers the oldest JCAHO-accredited, gambling-specific residential program in the US. We only treat gambling addiction and related disorders affecting our clients, and we're proud of our nearly one-to-one staff-to-client ratio. A client's stay is typically 5 to 6 weeks, and is followed by an individualized aftercare program.
Our CPGC and ICGC counselors are available by phone or email to talk to you about gambling addiction and how you can get help for yourself or a loved one.
Algamus offers flexible recovery programs starting at 5 weeks to 6 weeks with aftercare for additional support. At Algamus, you'll always have a counselor to speak to.
Algamus is located in Goodyear, Arizona, the perfect setting for recovery. We offer a variety of treatment methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, 12-step recovery, yoga, and more.
Algamus accepts most commercial insurance providers. The amount of coverage will vary based on your insurance company and your specific policy.
Algamus is one of the only residential gambling treatment programs in the United States that has been treating gambling and the unique issues related to this addiction for over 30 years. Many of our staff are in recovery from gambling addiction and understand, as few do, how this addiction infiltrates every part of your life.
With a staff-to-client ratio of almost one-to-one, Algamus offers an intimate program at our Goodyear desert home to help you heal and recover.
Our staff consists of Internationally Certified Gambling Counselors, therapists, and clinical psychologists, some of whom are in recovery from a gambling disorder themselves.
We help our clients begin a new life that is no longer gripped by gambling. Since we focus only on gambling addiction, we understand the unique experience of our clients' financial and legal woes better than other rehab programs focusing on drugs and alcohol.
Algamus Client in Recovery
I went to Algamus in August 2021 to stop gambling, but I got so much more. I rediscovered my true self and came to understand the addicted brain and what I need to do to make it well.
If you are struggling. If you are out of control. If you just want all the craziness of chasing money and falling further and further behind, to stop, let these good people help you! They are so well trained, many former gambling addicts themselves. They know what they're doing. All of my fellows in recovery had different patterns, styles and games and yet the staff worked wonders with them all. They knew the different types we were and how to maximize treatment effectiveness. Last I heard, we were all doing great post-rehab. I know I have placed my last bet in this lifetime.

I just wanted to let you know that Lynn reached one year of recovery from his gambling addiction today, and to thank everyone connected with Algamus for the great program that you have. Each day is a gift to both of us, and we will be forever greatful for the tools that he was given at ALGAMUS that allow him to travel the road to recovery each day. We are both convinced that had he not gone to ALGAMUS one year ago, our lives would be much different today.

I attended the Algamus rehab program. They have professionally trained therapists that each specializes in areas that I needed to work on in my process of fighting my gambling addiction. I tried to overcome my addiction without any success. That included two previous rehabs. One of the things that also makes the Algamus program stand out is that they are exclusively dealing with gamblers. I am very blessed that I now have 2 1/2 years of recovery and I finally have some peace and serenity. Thank you Algamus.

It has been just over five years since I spent 40 days at Algamus in Prescott. It was a very difficult time but made much simpler through the gentle coaxing, teachings, therapies and friendships provided and made through a unique understanding and shared experience of gambling addiction.
Algamus saved my life and my family. It has taken a few years to earn back the trust and respect I had lost, but I am blessed to be healthier and happier than I would have believed possible.
A special "Thank you" to Rick Benson and crew. I am humbled by the work you do.
