Read MoreOvercome gambling addiction at our residential treatment center.
Algamus offers the longest-running gambling-specific residential program in the US and is JCAHO-accredited. Gambling addiction is different from chemical dependencies in many ways and treatment of gambling addiction is different than treating other addictions. We only treat gambling addiction and related disorders affecting our clients, and we're proud of our high staff-to-client ratio. A client's stay is typically 5 weeks, and is followed by an individualized aftercare program.
Algamus has been treating gambling addiction and the unique issues related to it for over 30 years. We’re one of the only residential gambling treatment centers in the United States and are focused specifically on gambling addiction. Many of our staff are in recovery from gambling addiction and understand, as few do, how this addiction infiltrates every part of your life.
With a low client-to-therapist ratio, Algamus offers an intimate program at our Goodyear desert home to help you heal and recover.
Algamus offers:
Our staff consists of Internationally Certified Gambling Counselors, therapists, and clinical psychologists, some of whom are in recovery from a gambling disorder themselves.
We help our clients begin a new life that is no longer gripped by gambling. Since we focus only on gambling addiction, we understand the unique experience of our clients' financial and legal woes better than other rehab programs focusing on drugs and alcohol.
It has been just over five years since I spent 40 days at Algamus in Prescott. It was a very difficult time but made much simpler through the gentle coaxing, teachings, therapies and friendships provided and made through a unique understanding and shared experience of gambling addiction.
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 went to Algamus in August 2021 to stop gambling, but I got so much more. I rediscovered my true self and came to understand the addicted brain and what I need to do to make it well.
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 just wanted to let you know that Lynn reached one year of recovery from his gambling addiction today, and to thank everyone connected with Algamus for the great program that you have. Each day is a gift to both of us, and we will be forever greatful for the tools that he was given at ALGAMUS that allow him to travel the road to recovery each day. We are both convinced that had he not gone to ALGAMUS one year ago, our lives would be much different today.

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.
