The Ranch – Sex and Love Addiction

The Center for Relationship and Sexual Recovery, a world-renowned relationship, love and sex addiction treatment center, is based at The Ranch. In partnership with Robert Weiss, LCSW, CSAT-S, an internationally known author, sex addiction specialist and educator, we have created confidential, gender-separate programs for men and women struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors and intimacy problems.

At The Ranch, clients receive highly structured and individualized treatment in a gender-specific environment. In this safe and supportive setting, our team of love and sexual addiction specialists helps people who are struggling with the following addictive behavior patterns, among others:

• Multiple Affairs

• Endlessly Searching for “The One”

• Compulsive Masturbation

• Compulsive Pornography or Cybersex Abuse

• Anonymous Sex

• Attracting Emotionally Unavailable Partners

• Sexual Boundary Problems

• Voyeurism

• Exhibitionism

• Unsafe Sex

• Prostitution or Use of Prostitutes

• Mistaking Sex for Love

• Using Sex to Mask Loneliness or Unhappiness

Relationship and sexual issues often lie at the heart of lifelong struggles with emotional stability and self-esteem. These underlying issues that support unhealthy relationship patterns are our focus. State-of-the-art treatment at The Ranch also addresses disorders that often occur alongside and contribute to love and sex addiction but are masked by more prominent concerns, such as drug or alcohol addiction, eating disorders, depression, and trauma.

Beginning with a comprehensive assessment, our experienced clinicians devise an individualized treatment plan which may include:

• Daily group therapy

• 12-Step support groups onsite and via electronic media

• Gender-specific trauma group led by a trauma specialist

• Weekly experiential therapy, including a ropes course

• Weekly equine therapy

• Three-day family program, which includes couples equine therapy

As part of our small community model, clients live, share meals, and participate in therapeutic activities alongside a small group of others who are experiencing similar struggles. Clients receive 24-hour care from sex addiction specialists and a dedicated, gender-specific support staff.

In addition to eliminating problem sexual behaviors, treatment at The Ranch helps clients set clear boundaries and develop healthy sexuality. The process culminates in the establishment of a Sexual Sobriety Plan that serves as a lifelong guide toward healthier, richer relationships.
