THIS IS WHERE
I CHANGE MY STORY



Addiction thrives on secrecy, shame, and isolation. You've probably tried to
address your behavior on your own, and it left you frustrated, wondering if
change is even possible. It is - with the right help.


THE PREMIER
PROGRAM

Gentle Path’s founder and primary architect is Dr. Patrick Carnes, a
world-renowned speaker, author, and expert on sex addiction. With more than
three decades in the field, Dr. Carnes’ work has contributed to the advancement
of sexual addiction treatment and research. His 30 Task Model and assessment
tools combined with our own Meadows Model of treatment and the expertise of our
certified sex addiction therapists create an unprecedented approach like no
other.

WHAT WE TREAT



Gentle Path at The Meadows treats adult men 18 and older who are struggling with
sexual addiction issues. We also address any underlying emotional trauma or
co-occurring substance abuse as we’ve found they often go hand in hand.

Treatment

SEX ADDICTION ISSUES

We offer confidential, in-depth treatment for everything from sexual compulsion
and pornography addiction to relationship addiction, sexual anorexia, and other
sexual behaviors causing distress.

Learn More

TRAUMA

We believe trauma underlies nearly all conditions, including sex addiction.
Whether related to addiction, family-of-origin issues, or abuse, trauma can
reverberate through every facet of our lives.

Learn More

CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS

A dual diagnosis is the presence of two or more disorders at the same time.
Those dealing with sex addiction issues often have a co-occurring substance use
disorder or mental health condition.

THERAPY METHODS

We combine a diverse range of methods aimed at fostering discovery, support, and
healing.

 * Somatic Experiencing®
 * Neurofeedback
 * Small Group Sessions
 * EMDR
 * Experiential Options
 * Expressive Arts
 * Wellness/Holistic
 * 12-Step Approach
