Gambling Addiction Treatment

Types of Treatment for Gambling Addiction

We recognize that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all, and that individuals respond to treatment methods differently. That’s why we offer a variety of treatment methods for gambling addicts, including: 

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: You will work with one of our Internationally Certified Gambling Counselors to help get to the root of your addictive gambling disorder and learn practical steps to overcoming it.
• 12-Step Programs: We introduce our clients to the 12-Step Program of Gamblers Anonymous which enables the gambler to take responsibility for their past behavior and provide a new perspective that allows them to move forward.

• Enneagram: Our gambling addiction therapists will guide you in how to use the Enneagram for self-exploration, healing, personal transformation, and growth.
• Group Therapy: You will meet daily with the rest of the group for a group therapy session. This is where you will get to hear the experiences of others and share your own journey as a method of healing.
• Aftercare Support: You are not alone, even after leaving the Algamus gambling rehab center.

Signs It's Time for Treatment

People often aren't sure whether what they're going through really calls for treatment. These are the signs it does:

• You've tried to stop on your own or with GA or outpatient and keep going back back to gambling
• Real consequences (debt, job loss, relationship damage, legal trouble) haven't stopped you
• You're hiding the gambling or the losses from people close to you

• Your daily environment is a constant trigger, such as your phone, your apps or your routine
• A loved one has staged an intervention, or an employer or court is requiring treatment
• You've had thoughts of suicide tied to gambling losses or shame
  
  

If you're not sure, take our problem gambling self-assessment or call us and we'll tell you honestly what level of help fits.

Which Level of Care Fits

• Residential / inpatient (our specialty): You live onsite at our Goodyear facility for 30+ days, fully removed from triggers, with daily therapy and round-the-clock support. This is the right level of care for severe or relapsing gambling disorder. → See our residential program
• Outpatient: For milder cases or as a step-down after residential, with sessions while you live at home. We're in-network for outpatient with several major carriers.
• Gamblers Anonymous / self-help: Valuable support, but for many people GA alone isn't enough to break a severe pattern.

Not sure where you fall? That's what the first call is for. We'll give you an honest recommendation of what level of care is right for you.
