At the beginning of my graduate program at UNLV I had the opportunity to attend a 3 day training about running a sex and porn addiction program called LifeSTAR. There had been some talk and attempt for our UNLV MFT program to start a LifeSTAR program in Las Vegas but that ended up not working out. However several months ago a group of therapists at the Kayenta Therapy Center (9418 W. Lake Mead Blvd.) began the process of starting a sex/porn addiction program through the LifeSTAR network. I have been able to work with the program for the last few months and am really glad to experience this awesome and powerful program.
LifeSTAR is a three-phase out-patient treatment program designed to help individuals, couples, and families that struggle with addiction and/or compulsive behaviors pertaining to pornography and sexual activities. The phases of treatment build upon each other and help to promote individual and relational healing and to provide a strong support system. The program begins with a "Getting Started Workshop" of six weeks that is educational and experiential. It provides a basic understanding of issues that influence unwanted behaviors, and offer tools to help you stop those behaviors and replace them with healthier ones. It empowers your recovery process and help you to strengthen your significant relationships.
LifeSTAR is a nationally recognized treatment program run by
licensed therapists who are trained in sexual addiction recovery.
Participants receive workbooks and other materials to help them through
the recovery process. The phases are specifically designed to gently
uncover and heal patterns that create and maintain addictive behaviors.
The primary feature setting LifeSTAR apart from other treatment
programs is the support offered to spouses and partners of addicts. A
major focus in each of the three phases is providing spouses and
partners with educational information and tools that help in the healing
process. Couples are encouraged to attend together, but single adults
and those who are married but would rather come alone are also welcome
and encouraged to attend..
See the calendar below for dates of the The next Phase 1 "Getting Started Workshop." If you are interested in the program call (702) 513-0508 or email KayentaLegacy.LifeStar@gmail.com.
And so it’s time to say Goodbye
