Desert Solace’s Approach to Outpatient Sex Addiction Therapy in Utah

At Desert Solace, we believe that healing from porn and sex addiction requires more than simple behavior changes. Our outpatient program takes a holistic, 12-step supportive, and trauma-informed approach that addresses the root causes of addiction.

We provide both individual therapy sessions and marriage and couples counseling so that men can work on their personal recovery while also repairing trust and intimacy within their romantic relationships. Addiction often damages marriages and families, particularly when betrayal trauma and sexual insecurity are present, and we believe healing should include the entire unit.

Our program is grounded in evidence-based therapies, and each client receives a personalized treatment plan that reflects their unique history, needs, and goals. Sessions typically begin on a weekly basis, ensuring consistent accountability and support during the early stages of recovery.

During initial therapy sessions clients will explore some of possible reasons for their addiction with a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, including mental health disorders and previous traumas often stemming from childhood. Once these root causes are uncovered we work with clients to resolve past traumas, learn how to cope with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, practice emotional regulation when faced with triggers, and combat urges.

As clients make progress, sessions may be spaced further apart, helping them gradually transition to greater independence while maintaining the tools and support needed to prevent relapse. These strategies help set the foundation for long-term healing and healthier relationships.

Porn and Sex Addiction Therapies Offered

Our therapists use a variety of evidence-based methods to help men manage compulsive behaviors. Each type of therapy plays a unique role in addressing the mental, emotional, and relationship aspects of porn and sex addiction.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an evidence-based trauma therapy that uses guided eye movements to help reprocess painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity. By addressing these events, EMDR reduces the tool of intrusive thoughts and triggers that often lead to porn and sex relapse.

Internal Family Systems

IFS encourages clients to explore the different “parts”, known as systems, of themselves that may be in conflict, such as the part that seeks comfort through sexual behaviors versus the part that wants to stop. This approach fosters self-awareness and helps men balance these different systems for a healthier lifestyle.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

Many men struggling with porn and sex addiction carry unresolved trauma that fuels compulsive behaviors. Trauma-informed therapy recognizes the impact of past experiences and provides a safe, supportive space to process them. This reduces shame and helps men heal at the root level rather than only managing symptoms.

Cognitive Behavioral

CBT helps clients identify negative thought patterns that drive addictive sexual behaviors and teaches healthier ways of thinking. By changing the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, men can learn to interrupt compulsive cycles and develop lasting habits that support recovery.

Mindfulness Therapy

Mindfulness practices help men focus on the present moment and environment when confronted with unwanted thoughts, feelings, and urges. This strengthens self-regulation and decreases the impulsive reactions that fuel compulsive sexual behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing empowers clients by helping men explore and connect with their personal values and long-term goals. This collaborative approach builds intrinsic motivation for change, making recovery feel less like an obligation and more like a choice to align better with their true self.

The time I spent at Desert Solace was short compared to the many years of pain and struggle I experienced living in addiction. I feel like Desert Solace really jump-started my recovery and gave me a truly solid foundation to build on. Where once there was hopelessness and despair, I now experience true hope and joy on a daily basis.

I went to Desert Solace this summer. In my opinion, this was exactly what I needed for my PTSD of sexual abuse. The facility and faculty were absolutely amazing. From group therapy, equine (horse) therapy, art therapy, and individual therapy they had met every one of my needs. I have to say not only was that therapy good but another part was the food which was delicious and plentiful. Your days are full of therapy, recreation, and 12-step meetings. They gave my life back to me!!!!

Finally, I feel free from the chains of this of this terrible addiction. Please tell everyone there is hope. Staying silent only makes it worse.

I'm feeling so blessed to be a part of this program, and had it not been for trudging through the lowest of lows, I wouldn't be here. Rather than focusing on the bitterness and victimhood of the situation, I'm starting to see the silver linings. That's a big step for me!
