Understanding Sex Addiction
Sex addiction is characterized by a preoccupation with sexual thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that disrupt daily life. Similar to substance addictions, sex addiction stimulates the brain's reward system, creating a cycle of pleasure that becomes increasingly difficult to break without professional intervention.
Common symptoms and signs of sex addiction include:
Compulsive Behavior: An uncontrollable urge to engage in sexual acts that may be destructive or risky.
Preoccupation with Sexual Thoughts: Constantly thinking about sex, which interferes with responsibilities and daily activities.
Escalation: Needing more frequent or intense sexual experiences to achieve satisfaction, leading to dangerous behaviors.
Failed Attempts to Quit: Multiple unsuccessful efforts to reduce or stop the behavior.
Negative Impact on Life: Strained relationships, career challenges, legal issues, and emotional distress due to sexual behaviors.
These symptoms highlight the need for a comprehensive treatment plan, as untreated sex addiction can lead to further psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, and feelings of shame and isolation.
Our Treatment Approach
The sex addiction treatment at New Vision Wellness emphasizes a holistic approach to recovery, focusing on treating the entire individual — emotionally, physically, and mentally. Key components of our program include:
Comprehensive Evaluation:
Each client undergoes an in-depth assessment by our mental health and addiction professionals, which identifies the nature and extent of the addiction, as well as any accompanying mental health conditions.
Integrated Therapies:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This method helps clients recognize and change harmful thought patterns and behaviors associated with their addiction.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages clients to embrace their thoughts and feelings without judgment while committing to actions that align with their values and recovery goals.
Trauma-Informed Care: Addresses past traumas that may be contributing to compulsive sexual behavior.
Group Therapy: Facilitates the sharing of experiences and coping strategies among peers, providing support and reducing feelings of isolation.
Sexual Health Education: Focuses on understanding healthy sexuality and building respectful relationships.

We integrate holistic practices to reinforce healing, including meditation, physical therapy, nutritional counseling, art therapy, and other complementary activities that support overall well-being.
