Gentle Path: Sexual Addiction Treatment

Gentle Path is a six week intensive program designed to treat sexual addiction, sexual anorexia, relationship addiction and sexual trauma. It is offered in a community setting and provides extended care through Pine Grove Behavioral Health Services, one of the South's leading treatment facilities.

The Gentle Path Program offers gender specific treatment to aid men and women in regaining their freedom from the disease of sexual addiction. Most patients are simultaneously treated for mood disturbance, anxiety or other addictions, such as chemical dependency. The Gentle Path Program has a special focus on working through past trauma and family problems. The program is designed to help men and women regain freedom from compulsive behaviors and develop a sense of healthy sexuality.

It's our mission to offer quality cost-effective care while at the same time offering a comprehensive level of treatment and services.

We provide a safe and secure environment where patients can work together under the supervision of professional, caring and effective staff members. Patients live in a community setting where meals are provided for them.

The Gentle Path Program is based on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Patrick Carnes who developed the curriculum for the Gentle Path Program. The curriculum is based on Dr. Carnes' thirty task model which has been empirically validated to be an effective form of treatment of sexually compulsive behavior. Patients receive individualized attention as well as being incorporated into a group process. This cutting-edge program was designed to provide patients with the most progressive and well researched treatment available.
