The isolating reality of a hidden compulsion
Sex and relationship addiction is one of the most difficult to talk about, which means most people carry it alone for far longer than they should. The weight of that isolation is often harder to bear than the behaviour itself. It is entirely treatable, and our rehab for sex addicts is a completely judgment-free zone.
How we treat sex addiction
01. Uncover the psychological drivers
Our clinical team works with you to understand the specific anxiety and attachment issues that the addictive behaviour is attempting to soothe.
02. Treat your underlying trauma
We treat the psychological roots of the compulsion rather than the surface behaviour. This creates the foundation for lifelong change.
03. Interrupt the neurological reward cycle
Therapy targets the specific reward patterns driving the compulsion and replaces them with sustainable coping mechanisms.
04. Get a personalised relapse prevention plan
Your clinical team builds a practical plan around your specific triggers before you leave. No two plans look the same.
The people behind your recovery
At Charterhouse Clinic, the team treating you understands addiction from both sides.
Leticia is the clinical lead at Charterhouse Clinic. She designs the therapeutic programme that underpins every treatment plan, combining formal psychological training with years of intensive residential experience. All clinical content on this site is reviewed by her.
Madissar brings over 20 years of senior experience in substance misuse services to the day-to-day running of Charterhouse Clinic. As someone who has been through recovery himself, he understands what a well-run treatment environment means to the people inside it.
FAQs about sex addiction rehab
Is sex addiction a recognised medical condition?
Yes. Sex addiction is rooted in attachment trauma and neurological reward patterns, and it responds well to proper clinical treatment. At Charterhouse Clinic, it is taken as seriously as any other dependency.
How does residential rehab for sex addiction differ from outpatient therapy?
Outpatient therapy asks you to change while staying inside the environment, driving the behaviour. Residential rehab for sex addicts creates genuine distance from that, which makes the clinical work significantly more effective.
Can my relationship survive sex addiction?
Our sex love rehab programme includes structured support for couples who want it, helping partners work through what happened and find a way forward together.
How long does sex addiction rehab take?
Most programmes run for 28 days, like Charterhouse Clinic. That gives enough time for the psychological work to go deep and for a solid aftercare plan to be built around your real life.
What happens after I leave Charterhouse Clinic?
Your clinical team puts together a practical plan before you leave, with ongoing support available at our London therapy suites. Recovery from sex addiction doesn’t stop at discharge.
Do I need a referral to get started?
No. Contact Charterhouse Clinic directly, and we handle everything from there. Your first conversation carries no obligation.
