Those who suffer from Gambling Addiction are seeking the winner’s sensation that brings such sudden pleasure. Similar to drug dependency, gambling addictions can quickly get out of hand. Prescott House is an exclusive, men-only facility that specializes in gambling habits and their solutions.
For example, while a few games of Blackjack at the local casino can be a great deal of fun for some, for others it’s a nightmarish compulsion that leads to highs and lows that most of us will never experience in the same way as a person with a process disorder.
While winning leads to a rush of endorphins from the release of serotonin and dopamine, losing often leads to depressive behavior that leads the user to chase losses in an attempt to come out ahead. Due to the house edge, this rarely happens, and it leaves the compulsive gambler to continue gambling aimlessly while believing he or she is within sight of the finish line – or breaking even/making a profit. In reality, this typically isn’t the case, and the compulsive behavior of the process addiction often leads to huge monetary losses, familial issues, problems on the job, and significant mental health problems.
A pathological gambling habit can most often be defined by a person’s preoccupation with the next trip to the casino, the next plan to get money for gambling (which can be criminal in nature), and even the deception one must engage in to keep gambling trips and expenditures a secret from spouses, children, and friends. These behaviors will often land the individual in rough financial situations and deteriorate personal relationships.
The risks with process addiction often revolve around the compulsive behavior itself. For example, a problem gambler might gamble more money than they have to lose, putting themselves, and their family in dire financial situations before ever realizing there is a problem. Divorce, job loss, and interpersonal problems are also a common issues that stem from untreated compulsivity.
Due to the persistent urge to gamble, other once important things now fall by the wayside while the compulsion takes over the life of the addict.
While gambling was the primary example used to explain the concept, it’s certainly not alone when it comes to problems associated with process addiction. Just about anything that you derive pleasure from can ultimately manifest itself as the leading contributor to a process addiction and cause severe problems as you fall deeper and deeper into it.
An intervention may be necessary or just a simple sit-down conversation to bring these issues to the forefront. Each person who is struggling with this behavior is an individual who may be at a different point in their addiction than someone else. Prescott House can pinpoint their specific needs.
Prescott House is unique in its mixed group and individual therapy method. New patients meet with a professional to gauge their addiction and work towards a resolution. Individuals are highly encouraged to attend their group meetings. Members can share experiences and grow together with this therapy program. Addiction in any form is treated as a medical issue, not a deviant lifestyle.

This is undoubtedly the best addiction treatment center in the nation. Prescott house does it right, they are professional and caring. The therapists are knowledgeable in the field of addiction and insightful! They assisted my family when we needed it most and they came through when others didn’t. My son recently celebrated 13 months drug and alcohol free! Thank you Prescott House team!

If you're looking for a fresh start and a life building experience. This is the place. Not only is the town of Prescott a beautiful town, the staff at Prescott House are welcoming and clearly have a passion for what they do.I arrived at the Prescott House at the start of 2021 and stayed for both the inpatient and outpatient (aftercare) program. The experienced and professional staff helped me look into things that I never thought of and turn me on to a much more healthy life style.

This is a wonderful location for men, looking for long term sobriety. The staff at the center, truly do care for the patients, they are also treated like family. The staff will go out of their way, to make the men feel welcome and at home. They will receive wonderful treatment and counseling, with a clinical team. The staff will also do whatever possible to help the men out financially, if possible. I would highly recommend this treatment center for any man, truly looking for recovery.

I went to Prescott House a broken man. I didn’t want to go and I didn’t think I needed it. Thank goodness my parents were strong enough to hold that boundary with me. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but this program provided me the structure and therapy I needed to live a better life where I was no longer a slave to substance use. I will forever be grateful for everyone at Prescott House.

As an employee of a high acuity detox in Arizona, I love working with the Prescott House! The entire staff are alumni of the facility, so they have the expertise and life experience that really makes the difference between the Prescott House and other long term treatment centers in the country. The work they do is nothing short of a miracle!

This place saved life. It was it easy by any means but it was exactly what I needed. I can here after I did a 45 inpatient treatment facility and this place really helped me further my recovery. He also helped me get reintegrated into society so when I was able to leave getting a job wasn’t as stressful or anything of that nature. All the staff and counselors are awesome. The meetings out in that area are great, there is not one you can’t find and sometime of the day. If you are planning on a year or so treatment facility for transitional living I would suggest AFTER a 29-45 inpatient program I would suggest P-House, call and reach out to Geoff Patterson and he will guide you in the right direction! If I could give this place more that 5 starts I would!!!! 10 ⭐️!

I can’t thank The P House enough for what it did in my journey. I was in my late forties when I walked into the house. My life had crumbled all around me and I wanted to change my behaviors. After 30 days in a treatment center, I knew I needed something more to make a real change but didn’t know what that would look like. The Prescott House was recommended and after some quick research I committed to 3 months. I left my family and kids to take the chance to change my life. Needless to say, 7 months later, I completed the recovery program they had set for me, and I needed every day of it. Recovery is not a course or a quick fix, it’s a commitment and in my case lots of humility which I was reminded daily I had very little of…lol

Without Prescott House, I would be in jail, an institution, and surely dead. They taught me how to live life on life's terms, not my own. Thank you for helping me save me from myself!

The Prescott House saved my life. I had struggled with addiction and mental illness for most of my adult life and when I arrived at the P House I was desperate for help. When I arrived I was shocked by the circumstances I had found myself in, but the professionalism, friendliness, and competency of the staff helped the transition be as smooth as possible. The community of men was always supportive and welcoming and the quality of therapy was unparalleled. At the P House I learned to shed my shame and also learned to love myself and others by feeling fully accepted by everyone in the community. I honestly can't recommend the program enough - it works if you work it!

I had a strong response to this Spring’s news of a pandemic: Our adult son is not on the street. The thought came to me again and again. Our adult son is not on the street. He is safe. He is healthy. He has the love of a good woman and a precious son. He is serving others as an essential worker. His father and I cannot imagine these last years being possible without his stay at Prescott House. Short-term rehab had not been enough to allow him to heal and begin the journey to the man he is today. The skillful staff at Prescott House provided a living model of life in recovery and the structure and support to pass their knowledge on to our son. They supported us as parents with compassion and gave us hope.
