Love addiction can be described as an impulse control disorder that is part of a family of process addictions. It often involves self-destructive behaviors in pursuit of love and attention. It is common for the addicted person to have a dual diagnosis. Often, they may need further help from a sexual addiction treatment center or porn addiction treatment program. Love addiction treatment at The Ranch typically begins with a complete medical and psychological assessment. This allows us to identify and treat any co-occurring mental health disorders. Dual diagnosis treatment may include:

As a result of insecure attachments in childhood, people addicted to love may lack confidence and a sense of self.

The Ranch is known for its wide range of evidence-based and alternative treatment options. Our compassionate treatment team will help you embrace your authentic self. This way, you can discover mature and authentic love. During therapy, clients may discover they are continually attracted to partners who reinforce the pain they experienced in early childhood. These types of insights are an essential part of breaking the addictive cycle. Love addiction treatment also involves building self-esteem and developing healthy relationship patterns and coping skills. Types of therapies may include:
There is also group therapy with people who share similar experiences and issues. You may also attend 12-step support groups such as Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. Everyone learns from one another’s experiences.
Some people crave a relationship so badly that they will accept problematic behaviors from a prospective mate. This leads some love addicts to engage in addictive behaviors with people who are addicts or abusers. They may experience sexual abuse or repeatedly fall in love with drug addicts. This exposes the love addict to another level of negative consequences. In our love addiction treatment center, you will learn to choose yourself first. You’ll discover how to protect yourself from unhealthy or toxic partners. And you will learn to enhance your sense of self so that you can make wiser, more self-loving choices moving forward.
