INTENSIVES

three-day sex addiction intensives

"My wife and I feel like we experienced a weekend nothing short of a miracle. We are still both processing a lot, it’s all so fresh. I’m expecting the ups and downs in the future which make me tense. But, it’s the TRUTH! I still cannot get over the idea that my wife knows every secret I’ve ever held close. Also, I’m just looking at my wife like never before; with love that words cannot explain." JB, Texas

how a sex addiction intensive can put
you on the road to recovery

Three-Day Intensives are not for everyone and they are not a three-day cure. There is no such thing. They are designed to be three days of hard work that will help you get to the root of your addiction, strip away barriers to recovery, and put your life and relationship on the road to recovery. These three days of concentrated and demanding work address issues that may otherwise take a year or more of therapy for equivalent results.

This program is very rigorous. In fact, it may be the most rigorous short-term treatment program of its kind. We are very selective in accepting couples into this program because we want to make sure a Three-Day Intensive is the appropriate treatment choice.

If you are looking for an easy fix to a problem that you have developed over many years, keep looking. This program is not for you. We work only with highly motivated individuals and couples who are ready to do whatever is necessary to put an end to all acting out behaviors once-and-for-all and engage in the difficult but rewarding process of rebuilding their relationship.

Intensives allow you to do the equivalent of several months (up to the equivalent of six months) of therapy in a three-day period. Intensives also allow you to get started in recovery with a maximum of anonymity, traveling to Charlotte and staying in our personal guest condo or a hotel near Hope & Freedom to do your recovery work in complete privacy, minimizing disruptions to job and family.

Intensives consist of a combination of individual sessions and couple’s sessions. We have sessions each morning and each afternoon. Assignments are given to work on each evening. Additionally, there are mandatory 12-step meetings for you to attend each evening. As the name implies, the three days you spend at Hope & Freedom will be intense. 

Most importantly, the focus of these Intensives will be on equipping you with the tools you need to develop new thought and behavior patterns to counter what is often a long-standing pattern of addictive dysfunctional behavior. Many of our clients are able to stop all compulsive and addictive sexual behaviors permanently. This is our goal and we will do everything in our power to help you achieve that goal.

Secondly, the focus of Intensives is to lead you as a couple in a process that can ultimately lead to restoration of trust in the relationship.
"I just wanted to share something special with you. On Saturday, [my wife] and I recommitted our life together with an absolutely beautiful vow renewal ceremony and reception. We were surrounded by 50 of our closest friends and family. It was an amazing day and there weren't too many dry eyes. Many know at least some of our story and for them to witness God's restoration of our marriage made for a powerful and awesome day. 

I wanted to send you a special thank you. You have been such a crucial part of our story. I do believe our story may have ended differently if we hadn't been accepted and attended the intensive. It laid such an important foundation that we were able to work from. We have worked very hard to get to this point and Saturday was a beautiful day to see some of the fruit of all that hard work. Our main theme was from 1 Corinthians 13:8 - Love never fails. We are proof of the truth of God's Word.

Thank you again for all you do. Thank you for all you have done for us. I will be sure to send some pictures along when we get them back, but it truly was a beautiful and blessed day."

God Bless, RS & KS, New York

your next step to recovery

We only have a limited number of spaces available for intensives. To be considered for an Intensive you must complete an application by clicking on the button below. Completing this application does not obligate you in any way. It does help us determine if an Intensive is right for you.

If you are married, we will only consider you for an Intensive if you come and work as a couple. A major focus of our work is on seeing relationships restored. We cannot do that unless we have both partners present.

Please ask your partner to complete an application after you have finished. Once we receive both applications we will set up a phone call where Tina Wehner will personally review your applications, take you step-by-step through a Three-Day Intensive schedule, answer your questions, and then conduct your screening interview. 

You will be notified as to whether or not your applications have been approved by the end of that teleconference and be provided with the password to access the required documents for your Intensive.  You may login here:  Intensive Clients.
