Digital-Age Healing and Recovery

Seeking Integrity was founded in the fall of 2017 to move treatment for sex addiction, porn addiction, and paired substance/sex addiction into the 21st century. We recognize that in today’s increasingly digital world, much of our daily life, including addictive behavior, takes place via digital technology. With that knowledge, we believe that support and recovery for these issues should no longer be limited to face-to-face experiences at rehabs, workshops, 12-step meetings, and the local coffee house.

At Seeking Integrity, we believe very strongly that building and maintaining a supportive community of recovery (both online and in the real world) is a key to long-term healing. To this end, our treatment programs incorporate ongoing, no-cost online discussion groups, educational webinars, and other digital work as a part of every client’s treatment and aftercare program. Our goal is to keep our clients in regular contact with the support network that helped them establish sobriety and recovery, no matter where they live.

Our Mission StatementCultivating Personal and Interpersonal Integrity

The mission of Seeking Integrity is to form and nurture accessible, comprehensive, interactive communities for people seeking to understand, address, and redress with integrity behavioral health challenges wherever and however they manifest.
