ADDICTION RECOVERY
No matter how long one has been addicted or how severe their addictive behaviors might be, full and lasting recovery is possible.
For recovery from both addiction and betrayal trauma, many people find a religious approach particularly effective. For this reason, many of the resources we gather are religious in nature.
SOFTWARE & MOBILE APPS

PROGRAMS & THERAPY
There are various programs that help people recover from addiction. Some are spiritually focused while others focus more on behavior. In some cases, combinations of these various programs assist in addiction recovery.
ARP, created and sponsored by Family Services of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a free 12-step program combining the Alcoholics Anonymous' 12 steps and principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. ARP has produced a unique recovery workbook and facilitates group recovery meetings. While this program can be applied for any type of addiction, ARP facilitates meetings specifically for pornography addiction, known as
Pornography Addiction Support Groups (PASG). All meetings are anonymous, and men and women have separate support groups.
One unique benefit to this program is that it was produced in conjunction with the Spousal and Family Support Guide, a program for those who have been affected by the addictions of their loved ones.

SAA is a free program focusing on the 12-steps. As it is not sponsored by a specific church or faith, it focuses on the aid of a Higher Power in the recovery process but does not define the identity of this Higher Power. This program heavily involves restoring spirituality during the recovery process. Learn more about Sex Addicts Anonymous or find a meeting.
