  3. Treatment for Sex Addiction Treating sex addiction at home can be a significant first step in your treatment plan. But most people find it only goes so far. The cause of your addiction is why you may only get so far in treating it at home. Unresolved trauma is one of the primary causes of sex addiction. Over time, you learn to use sex and sexual outlets to deal with stress and other adverse emotions. The more these behaviors help you feel better, even temporarily, the more you repeat them. So, you need to identify and heal the trauma that caused the addiction, not just the addictive behaviors. If you start your recovery at home, then think you need further help, there are options. Treatments for sex addiction include: Psychotherapy. A therapist can help you get to the root cause of your addiction. Understanding, processing, and moving past trauma usually requires guidance and accountability. Therapy can help you learn mood management, identify triggers, and eliminate false beliefs. Medication. Some medications can help make the recovery process more manageable, particularly with psychotherapy. A mental health professional may discover other concerns outside the addiction that needs treatment in the form of medication. Self-Help Groups. One of the hallmarks of sex addiction is an inability to feel empathy for others. Spending time in a group with other people with sex addiction may help you feel better understood and connected to others.
