Our Programs for Sexual Compulsion and Addiction

It can be scary to feel like you don’t have control over your behavior or your life. Our recovery center offers a respectful, supportive environment where you can begin to heal.

Recognizing Problematic Sexual Behavior

Sexual desire is instinctual, and sex is an important part of life. But when does sex become an obsession? How do you know when your need for sex becomes unhealthy, uncontrollable and damaging to others?

You may have a sexual behavior disorder if you:

• Can’t stop problematic sexual behavior despite clear negative consequences
• Feel a lack of control over your focus on sex
• Feel shame, fear or anger about sex
• Hurt loved ones as a result of your obsession with sex
• Prioritize sex over your relationships, work and finances

Types of problematic sexual behavior may include:

• Affairs, one-night stands or sex with prostitutes and escorts
• Anonymous sex, public sex or lewd conduct
• Avoidance of sex or affection
• Co-dependency
• Compulsive masturbation
• Compulsive phone sex and/or sexting
• Exhibitionism (public display of genitals or sexual behavior)
• Obsessive use of pornography, video cameras, cybersex or chatting
• Substance abuse and addiction related to sexual behaviors
• Traumatic re-enactment of past sexual experiences
• Voyeurism (pleasure from watching others undress or engage in sexual activity)

Take our self-assessment to find out if you may need help for sexual compulsion or addiction.
