The recovery process for sexual addiction can involve many different avenues with varying results. At Restorations Therapy Center, we provide personalized recovery plans to create the most helpful recovery process for each person. The process often involves weekly individual therapy in addition to weekly therapy groups, and highly encouraged participation in a twelve step group. Our center exists to provide the highest level of treatment for sexual addiction recovery. Therefore, our program involves a high level of commitment for true recovery. Some individuals may be turned off by the high commitment, but our philosophy believes true recovery comes from a deep desire to change and grow, manifested through commitment to recovery.
I want to thank you for counseling and leading me through this journey of recovery. I have learned more in the last 4 months about myself than I knew in the previous 47 years. For the first time in a long time I feel hope and have peace. I know I have a long way to go to full recovery, but to see the progress in myself and the relationship with my wife has brought joy back to my life. Through the program, I have received encouragement, support and above all a plan for recovery!!
