What is Sex Addiction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to some of the leading sex rehabilitatio<\/a>n<\/a> facilities<\/a>, sex addiction is best described as an overwhelming and uncontrollable obsession and compulsion to act out sexually. Although sex addiction<\/a> is not yet diagnosed as a psychological disorder, it is a condition that affects millions of people around the world. It is characterised by a persistent pattern of failure to control one’s sexual impulses and urges, resulting in repetitive sexual behaviour. In the recovery community, sex addiction is often referred to as a process addiction because it involves a compulsive behaviour rather than an addiction to a substance like drugs or alcohol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is There a Cure for Sex\nAddiction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex addiction is one manifestation of the disease of addiction, and it is the opinion of many sex rehab facilities that addiction is a chronic condition that cannot be cured per se. The destructive behaviour can be arrested and recovery is then possible. Recovery therefore is a long-term, lifelong process that is made possible by taking consistent action to seek physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Ultimately, sex addicts can enjoy healthy intimate relationships, but it takes hard work, dedication and a great deal of faith to find a new way of life, free from the bondage of addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex Rehab Facilities: The\nRecovery Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex addiction, like substance\nabuse, is treated using a multi-pronged approach. This approach includes group\ntherapy, individual counselling, life skills workshops, therapeutic activities\nand often, the introduction to a 12-step fellowship like Sex Addicts Anonymous\n(SAA), of which there are a number of groups throughout South Africa and the\nrest of the world. It is not a process to be feared. Rather, it is a process\nthat demonstrates that freedom from addiction is possible. Building a strong\nsupport network is essential to the recovery process – it is the beginning of\nbuilding healthy relationships, both romantic and otherwise. Sex rehab\nfacilities provide addicts with the tools and techniques that can help the\naddict to change their behaviour and learn new, positive coping skills to deal\nwith life’s challenges without turning to sex as an escape or acting\ncompulsively on one’s sexual urges. Like with any addiction, recovery is a\nprocess that addicts embark on one day at a time – every day is a new\nopportunity to change and grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
