In the United States, there are an estimated 12 million people with sex addiction, a complex condition that challenges not only the individual but also those close to them.
Due to the complex nature of sex addiction, various treatment options have emerged, including high-end sex addiction rehabs. These exclusive treatment centers blend luxury and therapy, providing a resort-like environment for healing and personal growth.
By addressing underlying issues in a supportive and upscale setting, clients undergoing sex addiction treatment can comfortably immerse themselves in their journey of true healing.
At Begin Again Institute, we emphasize discovering and healing from the root cause of sex or pornography addiction while learning your triggers and how to respond to them. We aim to help you regain control of your life, have better relationships, and build a happier future.
Understanding High-End Sex Addiction Rehabs
High-end sex addiction rehabs have grown in popularity, especially for people in high-profile positions or those seeking a discrete healing environment. Recognizing that sex addiction is a complex issue, these rehabs provide personalized care in luxurious settings. They’re often located in peaceful areas, offering privacy, comfort, and a chance for deep healing.
High-end sex addiction rehabs often have a better ability to meet each client’s unique needs. This personalized care is crucial, as sex addiction treatment isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Different people respond to differing treatment methods, and these rehabs are equipped to cater to these varying needs. They blend traditional therapies with innovative approaches, all within beautiful, calming environments.
High-end rehabs help people abstain from harmful sexual behaviors, uncover the root causes of their addiction, provide relapse prevention tools, and foster a supportive recovery community. They emphasize that recovery doesn’t mean giving up on sexual activity altogether. Instead, it focuses on developing healthy, emotionally stable relationships and sexual connections.
The Therapeutic Approach in High-End Rehabs
High-end sex addiction rehabs offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches, each tailored to address the unique challenges of someone’s sex addiction.
“A good treatment is anything that helps the client deal with the emotional connection between past emotional wounds and their desire to continue in self-destructive behaviors,” says Ed Tilton, President of Begin Again Institute.
Inpatient or residential programs are a cornerstone of high-end rehabs. They allow clients to “reset,” removing them from their daily environments and temptations. This setting allows for a focus on recovery without the distractions and triggers of everyday life. Clients can start anew, examining their feelings and behaviors in a controlled, supportive environment.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one therapy that may be offered in these settings, addressing how the brain processes memories, thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations related to trauma. By reprocessing these memories, you can disconnect traumatic experiences from harmful behaviors.
Other therapeutic methods include Brainspotting and Psychodrama, which dive into the deeper, often unspoken aspects of addiction. These therapies aim to uncover and address the underlying emotional and psychological drivers of addiction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also commonly found in high-end rehabs. This talk therapy helps clients adjust their emotions, thoughts, and actions, offering tools to identify and manage triggers for sexual behaviors. By recognizing these triggers, you can better control your impulses and move toward healthier sexual practices.
Comparing Standard vs. High-End Rehabs
There are multiple criteria you can use when determining which standard or high-end rehab treatment center will be the best fit for your recovery journey.
Focus
Does the treatment center you’re considering have a program devoted to sexual addictions? A dedicated program indicates a deeper understanding and a more targeted approach to sex addiction treatment.
At Begin Again Institute, we specialize in treating sex addiction, pornography addiction, and other intimacy disorders.
Therapies
Quality rehab centers should offer a comprehensive range of therapy options. High-end rehabs often provide a broader mix of traditional and innovative therapies tailored for holistic healing.
At Begin Again Institute, we use the Trauma-Induced Sexual Addiction (TINSA®) model, developed specifically for our treatment center. TINSA® focuses on identifying and treating the trauma behind destructive behaviors. By understanding how trauma has disrupted your ability to form healthy relationships, you can start to heal and learn new, constructive behaviors.
Certifications and Credentials
Ensure that the center has the necessary certifications for treating sexual addictions and that the professionals are trained in handling trauma and addiction. High-end facilities typically employ staff with higher qualifications and specialized training. For example, BAI employs Certified Sex Addiction Therapists (CSATs) who have special training to work with men living with sex addiction and their partners.
Cost
High-end centers come with a higher price tag, reflecting their luxurious amenities and often more personalized care. Ensure the cost aligns with your budget before registering, but understand that seeking sex addiction treatment doesn’t have to mean putting yourself in physical discomfort.
Timing
Consider the length of the programs offered. High-end rehabs provide more flexible duration options, from short-term intensive programs to more extended stays.
Begin Again Institute is the only sex addiction treatment center in the nation with 14-day intensive treatment programs. We offer these intensives to help you jump-start your recovery in a way that’s respectful and aware of the intense demands on your time.
Privacy
High-end rehabs are generally better suited to privacy. They tend to be located in secluded areas, have smaller group sizes, and staff experienced in dealing with high-profile clients.
BAI’s 14-Day Men’s Intensive is on a beautiful private campus in Berthoud, Colorado, in a sizable historic home. Our 14-Day Christian Men’s Intensive, Boulder Recovery, is in scenic Boulder, Colorado, surrounded by the majesty of the Rocky Mountains. And, of course, our staff protects our clients’ privacy to the utmost extent.
Family Support
Dealing with sex addiction often involves family or partners. High-end rehabs usually have more extensive resources to offer family support and involve them in recovery.
BAI has a Partner Support Program specifically for partners of the men in our intensives. The free virtual program helps partners heal from the trauma of betrayal.
Post-Inpatient Support
Ongoing support post-treatment is crucial for sustained recovery. High-end rehabs often have more structured and comprehensive aftercare programs to support the individual and their partner.
Cost vs. Value: Is It Worth It?
Prices vary widely among luxury rehabs, with more affordable options under $10,000 per month or stay, while premium, resort-like facilities may be more than $60,000 monthly. Most centers fall somewhere in between these figures.
For certain people, especially those in high-profile or executive positions, the higher cost of these centers is justified by the need for enhanced privacy and discretion.
Those accustomed to a particular lifestyle might also find these upscale environments more conducive to their comfort and recovery, removing the stress of a significant lifestyle change while undergoing treatment.
Potential clients can also consider the cost of not seeking treatment. The risks of untreated sex addictions extend beyond personal issues. It can lead to legal troubles, health risks from unsafe sexual practices, distractions from responsibilities due to compulsive behaviors, and the breakdown of relationships.
The Role of Environment in Recovery
Environment plays a critical role in recovery from sex addiction, especially in high-end treatment centers. These facilities often feel like resorts, nestled in beautiful, serene settings, which can aid emotional recovery. The comfort provided by the environment is not just a luxury but a tool that helps ease the challenging healing process.
In these centers, clients can expect:
- Spacious, luxurious accommodations with numerous amenities that add to the overall experience
- A staff-to-patient ratio that is typically higher, ensuring more personalized assistance
- Mental health professionals that are highly credentialed and have extensive experience offering top-notch care
- Meals prepared by in-house chefs, catering to dietary needs and preferences
- High-end transportation services enhancing the sense of privacy and convenience
- Recreational activities as part of the therapeutic process, designed to provide relaxation and promote physical and mental wellness
Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders
Considering that out of the 12 million people battling sex addiction, nearly eight million also face other mental health challenges, addressing co-occurring disorders is a vital aspect of treating sex addiction. Disorders can range from substance abuse, used as a coping mechanism for the distress caused by sex addiction, to other psychological disorders. The complexity of dealing with multiple disorders concurrently requires a specialized approach.
High-end treatment centers are often equipped to provide this holistic treatment. They excel in crafting personalized treatment plans that address both sex addiction and any co-occurring disorders simultaneously. This integrated approach is generally more successful than treating each disorder in isolation and ensures that the root causes of the addictive behaviors are addressed, leading to more sustainable recoveries.
