Gambling Addiction Treatment Aftercare Support

The Importance of Post-Treatment Support

Individuals that complete our residential treatment gambling-specific program find success with improved outcomes and even higher results when followed-up with gambling informed aftercare. Recovery is an ongoing process, and returning to your regular life after treatment can be a difficult adjustment. Having an aftercare plan in place upon departure will help maintain the recovery progress that has been made during their time at Algamus.

At Algamus, we work with every client to establish a written aftercare plan that serves as a guide for their post-treatment recovery. The aftercare planning starts immediately upon arrival, and will be continually reevaluated as the client progresses in their recovery.

Repairing the Damage Caused by Gambling

With 30 years of experience working with individuals and their families, we understand the magnitude of destruction caused to relationships, stressful environmental factors, financial difficulties, work-related issues, and trust issues in areas damaged by the effects and consequences of gambling disorder.

Maintaining abstinence from gambling post-treatment will require work by the individual. Our comprehensive and individualized post-treatment plans help identify and address potential triggers and provides techniques and tips on how to cope with these environmental situations.

Gambling-Specific Aftercare Helps Prevent Relapse

Though our culture is obsessed with quick fixes, sustained support is essential to long- term recovery. Data validates in the gambling setting, that the longer an individual is in treatment, the lower their chances are of relapse. However, all individuals seeking a life free of gambling must take responsibility for their recovery from demonstrating commitment to showing perseverance.

Your aftercare discharge folder will include all your medical records, clinical information collected by your primary therapist, including the relevant aftercare plan. Your aftercare plan is the blueprint necessary for your sustained sobriety.

Algamus maintains relationships nationwide with experienced professionals. Upon their departure from our treatment center, we refer each client to a gambling-informed therapist in their home environment, and to Gamblers Anonymous meetings in their area.

Our network of support is highly educated on gambling disorder and have experience working with individuals and families as they transition into their environment and surroundings.

Also included in your aftercare plan is a list of self-help resources. Self-help groups are available to support people experiencing gambling problems, as well as their loved ones. As part of the Algamus family, you are not alone.

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."

Algamus Client in 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."

Algamus Client in Recovery

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."

A great experience. Thank you to the counselors, management personnel, and house managers who truly care about their clients. They provided the skills, tools, and support necessary for me to begin my journey down the road of recovery from my gambling addiction. You're the best!"

Algamus Client in Recovery

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."

Algamus Client in Recovery

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.'"
