As with other addictions, sex and porn addictions are also a serious and very real problem that can impact individuals and their families. The city of Worcester and the state of Massachusetts offer some significant resources to assist.
The Massachusetts Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) provides several resources for those seeking support for all types of addiction, including sex and porn addiction.
The Bureau of Substance Addiction Services, a part of DHHS, offers licensed treatment centers that provide services such as professional counseling, residential programs, and outpatient treatment services. They can help you find rehab centers that specialize in sexual addictions.
Although there are no specific government subsidies for porn and sex addictions in Massachusetts, most of these resources accept Medicaid, and some offer sliding fee scales based on ability to pay.
Many individuals choose private rehab resources, as they often provide more specialized and personalized treatment options. Here are some resources in Worcester:
Sex and porn addiction can cause serious health issues, both physical and psychological. It's important to seek treatment if you notice any signs of these addictions. Symptoms can include obsession with adult content, regularly engaging in risky sexual behaviors, neglecting responsibilities in favor of pornography or sexual activities, and feeling unable to control these behaviors.
The Massachusetts Department of Health provides information and resources around sexual health addiction, including available treatments and nearby health centers.
If you or a loved one is struggling with a sex or porn addiction, remember, you're not alone. Help is available.
