About Ridgeback Recovery

​Ridgeback Recovery is a specialized treatment center located in Palm Springs, focusing on trauma-informed treatment for men dealing with sex addiction, pornography addiction, chem-sex addiction, and nonviolent sex offender behaviors. Their team comprises licensed therapists who are certified sex addiction therapists (CSAT) and trained somatic experiencing (SE) practitioners, dedicated to guiding clients toward healing and recovery.
The center offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to address various aspects of sexual addictive behaviors. Their 6-week boot camp serves as an essential first step for many men seeking help. Post-boot camp, Ridgeback provides telehealth video counseling, recovery coaching, and outpatient treatment options to maintain sexual sobriety. For nonviolent sex offenders dealing with legal issues—whether pre-charge, awaiting adjudication, or post-incarceration—they offer a sex offender treatment program (SOTP) that uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to effectively reduce recidivism by addressing cognitive distortions, enhancing empathy, teaching self-regulation skills, and managing deviant arousal.
Ridgeback Recovery emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment for recovery, implementing strict controls on digital devices to ensure a secure space. They also act as a liaison for clients as they navigate legal consequences. The center's approach includes individual and group therapy sessions, educational lectures, 12-step recovery meetings, outdoor adventures, and other activities designed to support the exploration of the origins and patterns of problematic sexual behaviors.
