Gambling Treatment for College Students

Start Your Recovery Over Summer Break

College can be a time of incredible growth and freedom but it can also bring a lot of stress. Problem gambling can compound that stress and can very quickly hurt your studies. If your studies have been impacted by gambling in any way this last year, it's time to get help.

Our treatment program is available year-round, but summer break is an ideal time to start. This allows you to focus on recovery without missing out on your studies. During break, take a proactive step towards quitting gambling for good with our residential gambling addiction program.

Our 5-week program in Goodyear, Arizona equips college students with the tools they need to overcome any form of gambling addiction, from sports betting to online games. Our experienced team of therapists, psychiatrists, and counselors will guide you to uncover the root causes of your addiction and empower you to build a healthy future.

Why Choose Our Program?

At Algamus, we offer a unique opportunity for focused recovery, that includes:

  • Scenic Environment: Focus on healing and personal growth in a safe, residential setting away from triggers. Our serene location provides the perfect backdrop for introspection and healing.
  • Reduced Academic Pressure: Free from classes and exams, you can fully commit to your recovery journey, setting yourself up for a fresh start for next year.
  • Comprehensive Treatment: From individual therapy sessions with a primary gambling therapist to daily group sessions, participants receive personalized care every step of the way.
  • Supportive Community: Join a community of like-minded individuals who understand your struggles and are committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Our Gambling Treatment Plan

Our residential gambling addiction program is designed to be your comprehensive launchpad for lasting recovery from gambling addiction. We understand the importance of providing young adults with the tools and support needed to build a strong foundation for success.

Our program utilizes proven therapeutic methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address the underlying causes of your addiction. CBT equips you with practical skills to identify and challenge negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to gambling urges. These skills are great for any young adult to learn and can be applied to other areas of your life as well. 

We believe that recovery encompasses your entire well-being. Alongside therapy, you'll participate in a variety of activities that promote mindfulness, physical fitness, and creativity. We also organize occasional day trips to scenic locations like Sedona, Arizona.

This year can be a turning point. Contact us today for a free and confidential consultation to learn how our program can help you break free from gambling addiction and build a life of fulfillment.

"

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.'"
