Pornography Addiction

Pornography addiction is similar to sex addiction with the exception that the individual is more obsessed with the pornographic images than they are with acting out their urges with another person. The classic signs of pornography addiction include:

  • An excessive amount of time is spent trying to find sources of pornography (websites, movies, magazines, etc.)
  • A sense of satisfaction is felt when viewing pornographic materials
  • Pornography becomes an obsession
  • Inability to stop the obsession with porn even when faced with consequences
  • Normal relationships are damaged due to the pornography obsession

Because pornography does not place the sufferer in danger of experiencing health risks or other life-threatening conditions like an addiction to drugs or alcohol does, it can be easy to overlook this addiction and consider it not dangerous. That belief couldn't be farther from the truth.

Pornography addiction, if left untreated, can cause:

  • Broken relationships
  • Shame and self hatred
  • Depression
  • Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
  • Guilt and feelings of loss
  • Legal problems
  • Financial problems
  • Work or productivity problems
  • Eventually may evolve into sex addiction

Don't allow pornography to ruin your life. You can regain control. Accept pornography addiction treatment today and start living a healthier life now.

Pornography Addiction Treatment

Pornography addiction treatment follows the same course of treatment as other non-chemically-based addiction. The primary components of a successful recovery are talk therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. In treatment, the patient discovers the emotional reasons for their obsession with pornographic materials and learns newer, healthier ways of coping with their feelings.

In some cases, especially where depression is a concern, certain medications may be administered. The pornography addiction treatment at Stepping Stone Center for Recovery provides the patient will all of the necessary tools for living and coping with everyday life once outside of rehab. An inclusive aftercare plan will also provide the individual with resources for maintaining the progress they made while in pornography addiction treatment.

TESTIMONIALS

I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert.

This is to my therapist Bobby, who never gave up on me. I could never have made it through rehab without your patience. You taught me that I am worth it.

-- Bryan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all.

You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab.
