We understand the unique pressures that make military personnel—both active duty and retired—more vulnerable to gambling addiction. Long deployments, high-stress environments, and the challenges of adjusting to civilian life can all contribute to the development of compulsive gambling behaviors.
Our 5-week residential program in Goodyear, Arizona helps clients overcome all forms of gambling addiction—from sports betting to online casinos and more. Guided by a team of experienced therapists, psychiatrists, and counselors, you’ll uncover the root causes of your addiction and begin building a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
We offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where military personnel and veterans can begin their recovery journey. Our program offers:
We’re not just here to help you stop gambling. We’re here to help you rebuild your life.
While gambling addiction affects people from all walks of life, military personnel face a unique combination of risk factors:
Veterans are significantly more likely to experience problem gambling than the general population, according to a systematic review. In fact, an estimated 56,000 active duty service members meet the criteria for gambling disorder. Despite the risks, gambling disorder is often under-recognized in military settings—and treatment is rarely offered.
Let this year be your turning point. Reach out today for a free and confidential consultation—and take the first step toward recovery.
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."

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."

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.'"
