Individuals that complete our residential treatment gambling-specific program find success with improved outcomes and even higher results when followed-up with gambling informed aftercare. Recovery is an ongoing process, and returning to your regular life after treatment can be a difficult adjustment. Having an aftercare plan in place upon departure will help maintain the recovery progress that has been made during their time at Algamus.
At Algamus, we work with every client to establish a written aftercare plan that serves as a guide for their post-treatment recovery. The aftercare planning starts immediately upon arrival, and will be continually reevaluated as the client progresses in their recovery.
With 30 years of experience working with individuals and their families, we understand the magnitude of destruction caused to relationships, stressful environmental factors, financial difficulties, work-related issues, and trust issues in areas damaged by the effects and consequences of gambling disorder.
Maintaining abstinence from gambling post-treatment will require work by the individual. Our comprehensive and individualized post-treatment plans help identify and address potential triggers and provides techniques and tips on how to cope with these environmental situations.
Though our culture is obsessed with quick fixes, sustained support is essential to long- term recovery. Data validates in the gambling setting, that the longer an individual is in treatment, the lower their chances are of relapse. However, all individuals seeking a life free of gambling must take responsibility for their recovery from demonstrating commitment to showing perseverance.
Your aftercare discharge folder will include all your medical records, clinical information collected by your primary therapist, including the relevant aftercare plan. Your aftercare plan is the blueprint necessary for your sustained sobriety.
Algamus maintains relationships nationwide with experienced professionals. Upon their departure from our treatment center, we refer each client to a gambling-informed therapist in their home environment, and to Gamblers Anonymous meetings in their area.
Our network of support is highly educated on gambling disorder and have experience working with individuals and families as they transition into their environment and surroundings.
Also included in your aftercare plan is a list of self-help resources. Self-help groups are available to support people experiencing gambling problems, as well as their loved ones. As part of the Algamus family, you are not alone.
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 counselors, 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.
