Sexual Health in Recovery: A Professional Counselor’s Manual

Sexual Health in Recovery: A Professional Counselor's Manual

For many men and women in recovery, sexual behavior linked with drug or alcohol use is the primary reason for relapse. While great strides have been made in treating women and men suffering from addiction, their sexuality is too often marginalized. When sexuality is not directly and positively addressed in recovery, it can contribute to treatment failure, relapse, and untold costs in the lives of addicts and their families.

Sexual Health in Recovery explains and explores the concept of how and why sex-and-drug linked behaviors can prove so devastating to successful recovery, as well as reasons why these issues are not fully discussed in most recovery programs. The book explains 12 Sexual Health Beliefs, which includes concepts such as: understanding sexual signals and sexual response in recovery; discussing and resolving sexual trauma; understanding out of control sexual behavior; making sexual decisions in recovery; understanding sexual boundaries; and much more.
