Program Highlights

During this program, men will receive a combination of catered meals and house-prepared meals. While experiencing plenty of clinical treatment, the men are also required to see the medical team, where they will monitor medication and provide psychiatric care. Knowing that many people with sex addictions also have co-occurring disorders, the clinical and medical team work together to address depression, antisocial personality disorder, bipolar, and substance use disorder. Through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), psychodrama therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing, the men are challenged to reflect on traumatic events, reflect on their lives, partner and relationships they are in. The clinicians use the Trauma Induced Sexual Addiction model (TINSA) which helps to identify and treat the sexual addiction through a neurobiological approach. They also offer a virtual partner support program, which simultaneously occurs during the mens’ residential treatment.
