If gambling is causing problems in your life—whether financial, relational, professional, or emotional—treatment can help. Signs include trying unsuccessfully to stop, lying about gambling, chasing losses, or feeling distressed about your gambling behavior. We offer free consultations to help determine if our program is right for you.
The admissions process begins with a confidential consultation to understand your situation and determine if Elaris is the right fit. We'll discuss your gambling history, current challenges, and recovery goals. If appropriate, we'll work with you to schedule your program start date and prepare for treatment.
Yes. All treatment is completely confidential and protected by federal privacy laws (HIPAA). We take your privacy seriously and maintain strict confidentiality throughout the program and aftercare.
Our program is built as a two-week intensive start followed by year-long coaching and support. Insurance companies typically do not cover this type of integrated, extended recovery model. Staying self-pay allows us to provide continuous, personalized care without insurance limitations or disruptions.

Treatment typically includes individual counseling, group therapy, education about gambling addiction, financial and life-skills coaching, and relapse-prevention planning. Elaris also addresses co-occurring issues such as anxiety, depression, or stress, providing comprehensive support for long-term recovery.
Our intensive treatment program is 10 days, followed by a comprehensive 1-year aftercare program. This structure provides the foundation for recovery while supporting long-term stability and growth.
Elaris offers several unique features:
Cohort-based continuity with peers who start together
Twice the clinical contact of standard PHP/IOP programs
Private accommodations (no roommates)
Real-world integration with phone and device access
1-year structured aftercare with mobile app support
Standardized, evidence-based curriculum
Relapse doesn't mean failure—it's part of the learning process for many people. Treatment helps you understand triggers, build coping strategies, and get back on track without shame or punishment. Our year-long aftercare program provides ongoing support to navigate challenges.
Our comprehensive 1-year aftercare program includes:
24/7 access to a mobile app and online platform
Weekly group sessions with flexible scheduling
Direct access to gambling specialists
Daily check-ins and progress tracking
Evidence-based lessons and crisis tools
Supportive peer community
Family and loved-one resources
Gambling addiction rarely exists in isolation. Our clinical staff addresses underlying issues that fuel the behavior, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, chronic shame and guilt, family conflict, relationship issues, and chronic stress and burnout. Effective recovery requires treating both the addiction and its root causes.
