Addiction
Understanding sex addiction
Sex addiction, much like porn addiction, is often mired in controversy among mental health professionals. Although not officially categorised as an addiction, it can be diagnosed as “other specific sexual dysfunction” or viewed as hypersexual or compulsive sexual behaviour. Regardless of this debate, there is clinical consensus that uncontrollable sexual dependency can have dire consequences for both physical and mental health. Put simply, sex addiction is a compulsive need to act out sexually with one or multiple persons, despite a genuine desire to stop and an awareness of the significant consequences. It’s important to differentiate sex addiction from disorders like bestiality or paedophilia, which are altogether different conditons and shouldn’t be confused.
Empathy in every stride. Expertise in every solution.

How we work
Sex addiction: loss of connection & control
Sex addiction is a complex condition that can severely impact an individual’s life, leading to a loss of connection and control. Expression of sexual identity can enhance relationship intimacy and strengthen bonds – but compulsive sexual behaviour often serves as a means to numb out or escape from everyday problems. Those struggling with sex addiction may find themselves engaging in activities such as compulsive masturbation, excessive consumption of pornography, risky sexual encounters with strangers, or multiple affairs, all of which can have devastating consequences.

The whole-person approach in sex addiction rehab
Our whole-person approach is particularly effective for sex addiction, as it addresses the multifaceted nature of this condition. Sex dependency often stems from a combination of psychological, biological, and social factors. To tackle these complexities, we create curated treatment plans tailored to each individual. Our multidisciplinary medical team of psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists work together to understand your unique circumstances, identifying underlying issues such as trauma, depression.
For example, a client with a history of trauma may engage in compulsive sexual behaviour as a means to cope with their distress. Through one-to-one sessions, we provide focused attention and therapy that adapts to the client’s evolving needs throughout their recovery process. Beyond addressing the psychological components of sex addiction, our whole-person strategy includes a residential wellness plan that encompasses physical health, lifestyle adjustments, and social environment changes. This may involve nutritional advice, physical fitness programs, and techniques to build a supportive social network that reinforces positive behaviors.
By incorporating these elements, we address risk factors and triggers that lie outside the individualʼs psychological makeup, creating a sustainable foundation for recovery. The privacy and exclusivity of our service ensure that clients can embark on their recovery journey within a safe and discreet environment, which is crucial for individuals who may hold positions of responsibility or are in the public eye. Curated and wrapped entirely around you, the whole-person approach not only helps overcome sex addiction but also supports you in building a healthier, more balanced life.

FAQs:
Sex addiction rehab with Harbor
What is sex addiction, and how does it differ from healthy sexual behaviour?
Sex addiction is characterised by compulsive sexual thoughts and behaviours that are difficult to control and negatively impact various aspects of a person’s life. Unlike healthy sexual behaviour – which is consensual and enhances intimacy – sex addiction often involves a lack of control, leading to risky behaviours, multiple affairs, and a persistent preoccupation with sex. This addiction can compromise relationships, work, and overall wellbeing.
What are the signs and symptoms of sex addiction?
Signs and symptoms of sex addiction include:
- Compulsive sexual behaviours and thoughts
- Engaging in risky sexual activities
- Inability to control or reduce sexual behaviours
- Neglecting responsibilities and relationships in favor of sexual activities
- Using sex as a way to cope with mood disorders, anxiety, or depression
- Experiencing guilt or shame after sexual activities
- Persistently seeking out sexual encounters despite negative consequences
What types of therapies are used in sex addiction rehab?
Sex addiction rehab may use various therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change harmful thought patterns and behaviours. Other effective therapies include psychodynamic therapy, which explores underlying psychological issues, and group therapy, which provides peer support. Mindfulness-based therapy and wellness approaches, such as nutritional guidance and physical fitness programmes, are also integral to treatment.
How do sex addiction rehab programs address underlying psychological issues?
Sex addiction rehab programs address underlying psychological issues by providing a multidisciplinary approach that includes psychiatric care, psychological counseling, and therapeutic interventions. Therapists work with clients to uncover and address trauma, depression, anxiety, and other conditions contributing to addictive behaviours. This ensures that the root causes of sex addiction are treated – not just the symptoms.
How can individuals maintain healthy sexual behaviours and relationships after completing sex addiction rehab?
Maintaining healthy sexual behaviours and relationships after sex addiction rehab involves ongoing support and self-awareness. Individuals can benefit from continued therapy, support groups, and developing strong communication skills with partners. Establishing boundaries, practicing mindfulness, and engaging in healthy lifestyle activities also support long-term recovery. Building a supportive social network is crucial for reinforcing positive behaviours.
How much does private, residential sex addiction rehab cost?
The cost of private, residential sex addiction rehab varies depending on the length of stay, the level of care required, and the specific services provided. For detailed information on pricing, please contact our team.
