Sexual Dependency Treatment Outcome Study

Abstract

This study sought to determine recovery-related outcomes for 59 patients who experienced the Homewood Addiction Division's 28-day residential program for sexual dependency.' Preliminary analyses of variables related to patient demographics, clinical profiles, recovery data, and patient evaluations of the program were undertaken in an attempt to identify possible factors underlying abstinence and relapse. It is hoped that the findings of this study, which reflect the experiences of a small, residential sexual dependency program offered within a much larger multi-addiction program, will be of value to other clinicians and facilities in the field.
