About Iron Ridge Recovery
Private care for men ready to change, Iron Ridge Recovery treats compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD), pornography addiction, and related patterns through an 8-week intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Austin or by secure telehealth across Texas, as well as partner care and recovery coaching. As Texas's only IOP built exclusively for the CSBD-presenting population, it gives men a room built for what they are carrying, not diluted by unrelated diagnoses.
Uncover the Underlying Condition
Compulsive sexual behavior rarely responds to weekly therapy alone, so Iron Ridge treats the isolation driving it, not just the behavior itself, because connection, not abstinence, is what makes recovery possible. Clinicians work the mental health condition underneath the pattern, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or attachment trauma, through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal-family-systems-informed work, and attachment-focused, psychodynamic care.
Choose the Right Format
Whether he attends in Austin or joins by secure telehealth from anywhere in Texas, a man moves through the same 8-week arc, stabilization, then trauma and mental health work, then relapse prevention, with the same clinical rigor either way. The Austin space is built for the shame this population carries: a private entry away from shared waiting areas, and a group room designed for confidential work, not a training-room feel.
Measure Progress after Discharge
Most programs in this field say they work; few say how they know. Iron Ridge tracks each man against his own baseline, not a population average, at intake, week 4, week 8, and 6 months out, watching what actually changes. Graduates who want to keep that momentum can continue with Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT)-informed recovery coaching, reinforcing the relapse prevention plan built in the final weeks.
