Support for institutions and professionals
This page is for therapists, counselors, psychologists, physicians, social workers, rehab programmes, university wellness teams, and other helping professionals who want a clear view of what SA is and how referral may help.
Sexaholics Anonymous is a Twelve Step recovery fellowship for men and women who want to stop lusting and become sexually sober. It is peer-based and spiritually grounded, but it is not a clinic, not a therapy practice, and not a crisis service.
SA can serve as a community-based recovery referral for individuals who identify with sex and lust addiction and are willing to engage in ongoing recovery support outside the consulting room or institution.
Persistent compulsive sexual behavior, escalating pornography use, repeated acting out, shame cycles, secrecy, and inability to stop despite consequences.
Referral to SA does not replace therapy, psychiatric care, trauma work, safeguarding, or crisis intervention when those are needed.
“There is a recovery fellowship you may want to explore. You can review the literature, learn how it works, and decide whether it fits your recovery needs.”
