Algamus Gambling Recovery Center

About Algamus Gambling Recovery Center

Algamus Recovery Services has been treating gambling addiction and the unique issues related to it for over 30 years. They serve men and women from all walks of life and all types of gambling addic

tion, including sports betting, poker, table games, slot machines, online games, and more. Featured on A&E’s Intervention, Algamus is one of the only residential gambling treatment centers in the United States, and the only one that is JCAHO accredited.

Benefit from Proven Therapies and Holistic Practices

Algamus offers a 4- to 8-week residential program tailored to gambling addiction. Many staff members are in recovery themselves, creating a compassionate environment with deep insight into the unique financial, legal, and emotional challenges gambling addiction presents. Their approach combines evidence-based modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group sessions, and holistic practices that promote mindfulness, physical fitness, and creativity. Certified gambling counselors and clinical psychiatrists address the root causes of addiction, including underlying mental health disorders, while integrating the 12-Step model.

Pursue Recovery with Personality-Based Strategies

At Algamus, they integrate the Enneagram, a personality framework, into treatment to offer a holistic and effective approach to recovery. This tool enhances self-awareness by helping clients understand the thought patterns, emotional triggers, core fears, and desires that lead to gambling. As a result, the Enneagram supports emotional healing and reduces reliance on unhealthy coping mechanisms. Treatment strategies are tailored to each client’s Enneagram type.

Heal in a Homelike Setting Away from Triggers

Algamus hosts clients in a serene lodge completely free from gambling and substances. With only 10 beds, including 2 private rooms ideal for unique needs like CPAP users, their accommodations ensure comfort with queen beds and no TVs in bedrooms, promoting rest and reflection. Clients can relax in one of three living rooms—two with TVs and one with a cozy den and fireplace—or enjoy outdoor amenities like a swimming pool and fire pit. A fitness regimen, including gym access, and the opportunity for clients to cook their own meals add to the homelike environment. Their scenic desert location is intentionally distanced from gambling venues, making it a welcoming space for those seeking to overcome gambling disorder.

FAQ's of Algamus Gambling Recovery Center

Every client in their last week of treatment negotiates with the clinical team a written, individualized after care plan. It typically consists of a follow-up referral to a gambling-specific therapist in their home environment, a referral back to local Gamblers Anonymous meetings, and some other components that may be relevant to that person's aftercare plan. We also have an Alumni Association that meets frequently that you will be able to attend at the conclusion of the treatment.

All of our staff have received training in gambling, alcoholism, and chemical dependency. If your family member has a substance and/or alcohol issue, we will treat it simultaneously with his/her gambling problem.

We currently don’t accept Medicare or Medicaid but there are a lot of options outside Medicare and Medicaid that many of our clients explore. Feel free to speak with our admissions team about what alternatives are available.
