A sensitive and judgement-free, male-only residential program using the 12 steps, family therapy, and a trauma-based focus to promote sex addiction recovery.
About KeyStone Center Extended Care Unit
Since 1994, KeyStone Center Extended Care Unit (ECU) has been a pioneer in the field of sex addiction treatment. Specializing in internet and pornography addiction, intimacy disorders, sexual anorexia, and relationship challenges, KeyStone provides a sensitive, judgment-free environment where men can begin to heal. With an intensive 30-day residential program that features a 1:1 client-to-provider ratio and a full 7-day therapy schedule, clients receive personalized care that is dedicated to supporting recovery from trauma and compulsive thoughts and behaviors.
Address Root Causes, Not Just Symptoms
At KeyStone ECU, men take a deep dive into healing sex addiction. The program is intimate and focused, with only 16 beds and therapy from professional sex addiction experts. They use techniques like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and art therapy that help heal emotions that words can’t always capture. Their daily therapy sessions include individual counseling, group support, and family work to address every aspect of recovery. Because they don’t just treat symptoms, men can expect to uncover and heal the root causes of addictive behaviors—whether it’s past trauma, relationships issues, or deep-seated emotional pain.
Treat Hidden Struggles with Compassion
Beyond the common struggles with porn or cybersex, KeyStone understands the full spectrum of sexual compulsions men might face, including those they may feel ashamed to name. For men who avoid intimacy due to past trauma or obsessively seek romantic connections, KeyStone treats these conditions and offers safety and discretion in the process.
Experience Home-Like Comfort
At Keystone Center ECU, men find a comfortable environment for healing. Unlike sterile, clinical settings, their 16-bed facility in Philadelphia has a more home-like feel. If traveling to treatment poses a challenge, KeyStone can help arrange transportation, taking the stress out of logistics. 30 days at Keystone can be thought of as a retreat, where men can truly disconnect from distractions and reconnect with their best selves in a supportive community.

Process Trauma without Reliving It
For men struggling with sex addiction, there is hope, and it starts with healing the past. At KeyStone Center ECU, they offer eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a powerful tool in breaking free from compulsive sexual behaviors. Expert therapists guide clients through gentle eye movements or repetitive side-to-side activity, allowing them to revisit memories without the overwhelming emotions.
Afford Quality Care
As one of the lowest-cost inpatient centers available, KeyStone offers competitive pricing without compromising the quality of care. Their self-pay package is often more affordable than out-of-pocket costs for partially insured programs at other centers. With their intimate, 16-bed facility and 1:1 provider to client ratio, men receive personalized, intensive treatment without the financial stress.
Connect with Others Who Understand
KeyStone is a place where men don’t have to explain or hide. Their all-male, sex-addiction-focused program offers a safe space to connect with guys who truly get it. Peer support can be a lifeline for men to share their story, break the isolation, and build connection with others who are facing similar challenges.
Build a Foundation for Lasting Change
Overcoming sex addiction isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. The program at KeyStone combines 3 powerful approaches to help men heal. First, they use the 30-Task Model, a step-by-step guide to understand addiction and heal from past hurts. Then, they use the 12-Step program to help men find support and strength as they recover. Lastly, they offer family and couples counseling because the impacts of addiction affect more than just the individual.
