Gambling Treatment for Military & Veterans

Support for active duty military personnel and veterans struggling with gambling addiction.

Recovery for Service Members

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.

Why Choose Algamus?

We offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where military personnel and veterans can begin their recovery journey. Our program offers:

  • Support for co-occurring issues like anxiety and depression
  • A gambling-specific focus—unlike many programs where gambling is only treated secondarily
  • Comprehensive, personalized care: From individual sessions with a gambling therapist to daily group therapy, you’ll receive targeted support every step of the way
  • Acceptance of TRICARE insurance, making it easier for military families to access treatment

We’re not just here to help you stop gambling. We’re here to help you rebuild your life.

Why Are Military Members at Higher Risk for Gambling Addiction?

While gambling addiction affects people from all walks of life, military personnel face a unique combination of risk factors:

  • High levels of stress, trauma, or PTSD, especially post-deployment
  • Feelings of isolation or boredom during long assignments
  • Cultural normalization of risk-taking behaviors within military life

Did you know?

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 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.'"
