A look inside sex rehab

Before taking a look at what goes on behind closed doors in sex rehab, it is important to understand what defines a sex addict. Sex addicts are like drug addicts, they have trouble controlling their urges and derive a certain “high” or form of pleasure from acting out on their impulses to have sex, masturbate to porn, etc. Usually these urges take control of their lives and ultimate ruin them and their marriages or relationships.

Just like with any addiction, sex addiction requires treatment and can come in many forms–including entering sex rehab. According to a recent piece on sex rehab in Chicago Now:

“Rehab staffers say treatment centers don’t look like psych hospitals, but they’re far from fun vacations as some might think based on media coverage. Patients have full schedules starting as early as 6 a.m. and ending at 10 p.m. Most of the day is spent in various types of individual and group therapy sessions. Other activities include programs such as 12-step meetings and recreation time.”
