Gambling Addiction Recovery Testimonials

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."

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'm humbled by the work that you do.

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."

Escaping addiction is not easy, but with Algamus's help it is possible. My life today is not the life it was before coming to Algamus. I highly recommend to anyone suffering gambling addiction DON'T GIVE UP! There is hope! Thank you Algamus!"

Algamus provided me the foundation needed to jump start my road to recovery. The programs, interactions with staff and group bonding put me on the path to a better way of life. The program truly saved my life!

I had tried GA before without long term success. 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.

NOW I am anxious to go to GA meetings because I know I need them. I enjoy them and the fellowship that organically emerges through sharing within the group. My meetings remind me of where I've been, how much better I am now than I was, and how much better it is going to get with continued abstinence. Just taking it one day at a time and working on improving my character."

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."

Algamus 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. Words are not enough to express my gratitude for Algamus. I have a future because of their program.

This treatment program made me enthusiastic about my life again.

Algamus provided the information, support, and ongoing guidance necessary for me to successfully recover from my addiction.  Without them I don’t know if I would be where I am today; 8 months later, free from my addiction for the first time in almost 20 years of struggle."

Best experience of my life! I needed it more than I thought. The staff and counselors were wonderful! I've been clean from the bet for 94 days and take it day by day. Learned so so so much more than I ever thought I would!"

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!"
