Porn and Sex Addiction Sober Living

Our sober living program blends professional recovery coaching and psychoeducation with the time-tested social model of recovery and challenges addicts to develop new habits, move into a lifestyle of recovery and ultimately develop a new identity. While at Room to Heal, you will be immersed in a community of men who, like themselves, are working to break free from sexual addiction. Situated in a serene setting conducive to healing, the home houses up to six residents (two per bedroom) and is overseen by a house leader.

Coaching

Recovery coaching is present and future focusing. We identify our "why", build and implement a rock-solid recovery plan, keep our eyes on the destination we want to get to (goal setting) and when we encounter struggles/slips/triggers along the way we learn from them and use the lessons gleaned as opportunities to grow. 

​

  • Weekly Recovery Coaching Sessions

  • Study Materials

  • Process Group - 2X per week

Community

Sex addiction is considered by most professionals to be an intimacy disorder. Our program is effective because we provide the right environment for men to grow in their intimacy, honestly and authenticity. Many of our past residents developed strong friendships for the first time in their lives while living at Room to Heal.

​

  • Living with other men who have made similar mistakes and experience the same struggles is validating and comforting, making it easier to be vulnerable and honest.

  • There are men in the house at all stages of recovery who can model empathy, honesty and authenticity.

  • Seeing your imperfections manifested in others helps you get real about your own faults. 

  • Living with 6 other men naturally produces friction, which is another good opportunity to get honest with feelings and learn to communicate needs.

Meet Andrew

I've been in the recovery ecosystem both as an addict pursuing healing and as someone in recovery helping others since 2006. I've seen what works and what doesn't work and know how to help men navigate this journey of recovery.

 

My relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important relationship in my life. Be it shame or a religiously rigid, authoritarian, upbringing, many men seeking healing have a complicated relationship with God. I can empathize with this because of what I've gone through myself. One of the joys of working with men in this field is seeing them develop a robust spiritual life and embrace who God says they are in Him. 

​

As a recovery coach, my goal is to help men establish the habits and life skills needed to get sober and live a full life in recovery. 

​

Please don't hesitate to call or send me a text. I want to be a resource regardless of whether you stay at Room to Heal.
