What to Expect During Our Residential Porn Addiction Treatment Program
During inpatient sex addiction rehab at Desert Solace, clients experience a carefully designed blend of sexual addiction therapies, support groups, mindfulness practices, outdoor adventures, and family engagement, all tailored to overcome addiction.
Individual Therapy Sessions
Each client participates in individual therapy sessions once a week, where they work one-on-one with a certified sex addiction therapist (CSAT) with extensive training in evidence-based techniques. Common approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practices. Therapy is tailored to each client’s unique needs and designed to promote long-term change.
Group Therapy and Check Ins
Group therapy is a cornerstone of our program, offering daily sessions where men can connect, share, and support one another in a welcoming, non-judgmental space. Sex and porn addiction group therapy helps normalize the struggles and build a strong sense of community. Clients also participate in group check-ins twice a day, creating consistent opportunities for accountability and connection throughout their journey.
Marriage and Couples Counseling
Our marriage and couples counseling for porn and sex addiction offers a safe, supportive space for partners to reconnect, process difficult emotions, and begin to rebuild trust. Optional video or phone sessions provide ongoing support to develop healthier communication, while family weekends offer meaningful opportunities to strengthen relationships and foster lasting growth for the entire family.
12- Step Meetings
Our program integrates the 12-step approach, a proven recovery model that guides individuals through personal reflection, accountability, and connection with a higher purpose. Clients attend daily 12-step meetings to learn practical tools for managing triggers and sustained refrain from watching porn. We also provide resources to help clients stay connected to local and virtual 12-step communities for lifelong support.
Equine Therapy
Equine therapy for porn and sex addiction is a unique and integral part of our residential program. Each client is paired with a horse they care for throughout treatment. Sessions are held twice a week and help men develop trust, responsibility, emotional awareness, and healthy boundaries. The relationship each client builds with their horse often reflects their own challenges and habits. For many, this bond becomes a powerful part of the healing process.
Group Activities
Every morning and evening, clients engage in activities that support connection, self-awareness, and healthy coping. These include things like offsite nature hikes, yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, alumni talks, and other meaningful shared experiences. Each activity is designed to encourage reflection, emotional growth, and connection with peers and the natural environment. By stepping into nature and creative spaces, clients can safely process their journey, gain new perspectives, and reinforce their path.
