Top-Rated Gambling Support for Your Clients

Message from Algamus Founder, Rick Benson

Algamus is a leading residential gambling treatment program in the United States that treats gambling and the unique issues related to this disorder. 

Since 1992, we've personally helped thousands of clients recover from disordered gambling, and we'd welcome the opportunity to help anyone struggling with this disorder.

Many of our staff are in recovery from gambling addiction and understand (as few do) how this addiction infiltrates every part of life.

The Algamus gambling treatment program has been recognized and featured on A&E's Intervention. Our certified counselors also partner with multiple podcasts that seek to help gamblers recover from this addiction and lead successful lives.

We're also proud of our commitment to keep a high staff-to-client ratio. See our client testimonials and more information below. 

Please let me know if your client is struggling with gambling, and I can provide immediate assistance at 866-499-1996. 

Sincerely,

Rick Benson (CPGC, ICGC-II)

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Testimonials

"

My very first group meeting at Algamus, there were about a dozen other men and women from all across the country. And one by one, every single one of them is talking about how they processed gambling, emotionally and mentally, and they took every single word verbatim out of my mouth. I didn’t think I had a problem. I just thought no one else understood that I was so good at gambling. Now I’m blessed today. I have not wagered in any way, shape or form in over two years, and I’m proud of that.

Life based on luck can lead to frustration and loss of everything we possess: family, friends, and even life itself. ALGAMUS can help us see ourselves as we really are, learn the twelve steps of recovery and win back those whom we love.

"

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. 

A special "Thank you" to Rick Benson and crew. I am humbled by the work you do."

"

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."
