Sexual Offending Recovery Program

Those who struggle with sexual addiction may develop behaviors that become increasingly more dangerous as they act out.  These behaviors can often put the individual at risk, with little regard for the consequences.  As these behaviors continue, the individual may become isolative and alienated from their families, spouses, friends and colleagues.  During these intense moments of shame there is a greater propensity toward re-offending and acting-out to fill the internal void.  This repetitive cycle is often referred to as the “Shame Cycle.”  The therapeutic model approach utilizes a 12-step addiction model combined with trauma recovery elements to interrupt the cycle, and to encourage personal responsibility and increased victim empathy.

Regardless of how sexual offending behaviors develop, and in order for recovery to occur, the client must gain insight into his behaviors by making full disclosure, make important lifestyle changes, develop victim empathy and agree to follow a very careful and highly detailed treatment and relapse prevention plan.
