Sexual Behavior-Specific Treatment Program
(For individuals engaging in problematic sexual behavior)
Change begins with accountability. Our sexual behavior-specific treatment program provides a structured, supportive environment where clients are challenged to understand their behavior, take responsibility for their choices, and develop the skills needed to move forward differently.
Through evidence-based treatment, clear expectations, and a focus on personal responsibility, we work to promote lasting behavior change, healthier relationships, and community safety.
The program is designed to serve both court-involved and voluntary clients.
Our Treatment Approach
Our sexual behavior-specific treatment program is grounded in evidence-based approaches that support meaningful behavior change, reduce risk, and promote long-term success. Treatment is individualized to each client’s needs, strengths, and level of risk while maintaining a clear focus on accountability and community safety.
Risk–Need–Responsivity (RNR)
The Risk–Need–Responsivity (RNR) model guides our approach to individualized treatment:
Risk: Treatment intensity is matched to each client’s level of risk.
Need: Treatment focuses on factors that contribute to problematic behavior and can be changed through intervention.
Responsivity: Treatment is tailored to each client’s strengths, abilities, and individual needs to support meaningful engagement and progress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a foundation of our clinical approach. Clients develop practical skills to:
recognize unhelpful thinking patterns
regulate emotions
make healthier decisions
replace risky behaviors with more effective choices.
Areas of Focus
Depending on individual treatment needs, services may address:
Accountability and personal responsibility
Risk factors and behavioral patterns
Thinking errors and cognitive distortions
Emotional regulation and coping skills
Healthy sexuality
Consent, boundaries, and respectful relationships
Relapse prevention and safety planning
Values, goals, and long-term behavior change
UDC Approved and Compliant
