Sexual Addiction Recovery Program

The core issues related to the treatment of sexual addiction rests in the identification of thought distortions, repressed feelings, negative core beliefs and maladaptive coping mechanisms related to a repetitive pattern of resulting sexual obsessions. Our therapeutic approach utilizes a 12-step addiction model combined with trauma recovery elements to promote recovery and encourage personal responsibility.  Individualized treatment plans are designed to treat both the compulsive behaviors and the associated dissociative elements.
