Gambling Addiction Treatment for Women

At Algamus, we recognize that treatment for gambling disorder needs to be individualized, which is why we offer a female-specific focus for our female clients. Our mission is to create a safe environment for women that allows them to slow down and begin healing the effects of addictive gambling on themselves, their loved ones, as well as friends and employers.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has led to the sharpest-ever increase in women seeking help for addiction and over the past year, 3,005 women contacted the GamCare helpline. While both men and women can develop gambling problems, they tend to present themselves in different ways.

Gambling addiction is not something that only affects men. Being able to participate in female-focused gambling treatment can help address the process of addiction to gambling, as well as any underlying mental health issues that the client may be experiencing in her life.

Located in the desert town of Goodyear, Arizona, Algamus is one of the only residential gambling treatment programs in the United States that treats gambling, and only gambling. Our staff-to-patient ratio is almost one-to-one, and many of our staff are in recovery from gambling disorder and therefore understand better than most about the difficulties that come with a gambling disorder.

Types of Treatment

Our 30-day+ residential gambling treatment program gently guides the disordered gambler into a place of acceptance and empowerment to make the behavioral changes needed to create a life free from gambling and other addictive behaviors. Some of our treatment modalities include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Gamblers Anonymous meetings
Enneagram
Exercise

Our experienced therapists and internationally certified gambling counselors help our clients recreate the lives that have crashed down around them, and each client receives an individualized aftercare plan upon their departure.

Beyond daily groups and frequent individual sessions with a primary therapist or counselor, clients will participate in day trips to surrounding areas like Sedona, and a fitness regimen that includes a gym membership.

Algamus Gambling Recovery Program Saved my Life. From the moment I spoke with Rick Benson I knew I was going to be able to get the help I so desperately needed. The entire staff: the house managers, the councilors, the management team, the owners, were caring and compassionate people.

The treatment program is amazing, the staff is the very best! I learned so much valuable information that I use in my daily life. Words are not enough to express my gratitude for Algamus, I have a future because of their program."

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."

A great experience. Thank you to the counselors, management personnel, and house managers who truly care about their clients. They provided the skills, tools, and support necessary for me to begin my journey down the road of recovery from my gambling addiction. You're the best!"

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 didn't take ownership of having a problem until I went to my first Algamus meeting. When they went around the room and each person described what their game of choice was and how they processed it emotionally and mentally, it was only at that moment that I said, 'wow, they are like me.'"

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."
