​Ridgeback Recovery is a specialized treatment center located in Palm Springs, focusing on trauma-informed treatment for men dealing with sex addiction, pornography addiction, chem-sex addiction, and nonviolent sex offender behaviors. Their team comprises licensed therapists who are certified sex addiction therapists (CSAT) and trained somatic experiencing (SE) practitioners, dedicated to guiding clients toward healing and recovery.

Intensive Recovery Tools

The center offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to address various aspects of sexual addictive behaviors. Their 6-week boot camp serves as an essential first step for many men seeking help. Post-boot camp, Ridgeback provides telehealth video counseling, recovery coaching, and outpatient treatment options to maintain sexual sobriety. For nonviolent sex offenders dealing with legal issues—whether pre-charge, awaiting adjudication, or post-incarceration—they offer a sex offender treatment program (SOTP) that uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to effectively reduce recidivism by addressing cognitive distortions, enhancing empathy, teaching self-regulation skills, and managing deviant arousal.

Thrive Through Holistic Experiences

Ridgeback Recovery emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment for recovery, implementing strict controls on digital devices to ensure a secure space. They also act as a liaison for clients as they navigate legal consequences. The center's approach includes individual and group therapy sessions, educational lectures, 12-step recovery meetings, outdoor adventures, and other activities designed to support the exploration of the origins and patterns of problematic sexual behaviors.

Sex Addiction
I interviewed with several sex addiction programs when seeking out treatment. It was clear from the first interaction they they "got" what I was going through. At Ridgeback I received empathy not condemnation for my addiction. The treatment was small group and individualized to my needs. While there is no "cure" I feel confident that I am on the path to long term sobriety and recovery. I have hope for a healthy future where I can manage my addiction and not be controlled by it. I only wish I had had the strength and courage to reach out for help sooner.

Sex Addiction
For years I wanted to know why I regressed to this addiction, why I isolated myself from all, including relatives, why I had such a dim outlook on life. This program peeled back all the layers of my mind to reveal the reasons. The therapy and tools I learned in this program instilled hope, a positive healthy attitude, and a sense of belonging. I came in skeptical and left convinced. Oh, and did I mention that this is the most affordable program you can find, anywhere?
