Great to meet you

Founded in 1992, Algamus offers the longest-running gambling-specific residential program in the US with a typical stay of 5 weeks followed by individualized aftercare. The program is distinguished by its low client-to-therapist ratio and dual-diagnosis approach that addresses both the addiction and its underlying sources. Treatment methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, 12-step recovery, and yoga. The staff includes Internationally Certified Gambling Counselors, therapists, and clinical psychologists, many of whom are themselves in recovery from gambling addiction. Algamus accepts most commercial insurance plans and is featured for its specialized understanding of the unique financial, legal, and emotional impacts of gambling addiction.

Evidence-based approaches
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Spots the thought-feeling-action loops that fuel urges, then rewires them with practical skills you take into the moment.
Group therapy
Group Therapy. A small facilitated circle where people working on similar struggles practice naming what is hard, hearing themselves in others, and learning skills together. The room is the medicine.
12-step facilitation
Twelve-Step Facilitation. Helps you engage with mutual-aid fellowships (GA, AA, SMART) as a recovery community rather than a solo grind.
