Four decades of healing history, the top experts in an often-misunderstood field, and the most advanced approaches to address a wide range sexual addiction and behavioral disorders.
Our comprehensive program addresses sexual addictions, unresolved trauma, and co-occurring issues, going beyond symptoms to explore root issues and lay the groundwork for lasting healing.
Group and one-on-one therapy are just the beginning. We employ a wide range of methods and modalities, including valuable peer support, to address each person’s unique needs.
Let us help you determine if our program is right for your situation, discuss insurance coverage, payment options, and let you know what to expect upon arriving at treatment.
Change takes work, but it can’t be harder than living with unresolved addiction, trauma, and other disorders. If you or someone you love needs help, we’re ready and waiting.
Evidence-based treatment for this very real, but often misunderstood, disorder
Your sexual behavior has likely led to negative consequences in your life and that’s why you’re here. You’ve probably wrestled with urges and you don’t really understand, and you’ve tried to overcome these issues yourself, promising that this time will be different. But sexual addiction isn’t a moral failing or a lack of willpower. We treat these conditions as what they are — disorders — taking a proven clinical approach and getting to the root issues to help you find lasting healing.
Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) is defined as an impulse disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of failure to control intense, repetitive sexual impulses or urges resulting in repetitive sexual behavior and recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the latest edition of its International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11).
Anyone who comes to us to address their sexual addiction issues follows a proven timeline designed to help them identify, understand, treat, and overcome their addictions. This includes six weeks of inpatient treatment, preparing each patient to continue the healing process once they return home. This information guides the creation of a completely personalized treatment plan that includes the most progressive and well-researched sex addiction and trauma treatment available.
Gentle Path at The Meadows was designed especially for men dealing with sexual addiction, but we’ve also found that many of the men we treat have trauma at the core of their issues. They may also come to us with co-occurring substance abuse or mental health disorders.
Gentle Path Founder Dr. Patrick Carnes is a world-renowned expert on the topic of sexual addiction, and his pioneering work is the basis of much of the treatment offered today.
Our expert medical/clinical staff includes clinical sex addiction therapists, 24-hour nursing, on-site physicians, and a full-time chief of psychiatry to unlock the greatest healing potential.
Our Meadows Senior Fellows, including Dr. Stefanie Carnes, are some of the nation’s top addiction and recovery pros, each involved in worldwide practice and research in their areas of expertise.
We are just 50 miles away from Phoenix, but it feels like we’re a world away. We offer professional, clinical treatment at a facility with a decidedly un-clinical feel. We’ve gone out of our way to make sure spaces are casual and comfortable. The peacefulness of the desert setting lends itself to healing and renewal, too. But don’t take our word for it. See for yourself.
