Fighting for First Responder Wellness
The topic of first responder mental health is an issue not talked about. We want to break that cycle. Making sure first responders are cared for is our first priority.
At Command Post Wellness, we offer mental health services, including sex addiction treatment, so that first responders can heal faster and get back to what they do best quicker: saving lives.
What is Sex Addiction?
Sex addiction can involve a variety of dangerous behaviors, from multiple sexual partners to choosing to have sex without protection. Treating sex addiction can help first responders address any underlying mental health concerns and, in many cases, provide them with the tools they need to get back on the job sooner.
Why is Sex Addiction Treatment Important?
Commonly, sex is associated with love and emotional intimacy. Sexual addiction, however, often lacks that emotional connection and drive. As a result, patients dealing with other psychological challenges, including high levels of depression, anxiety, or trauma, may have a higher risk of suffering from sexual addiction. Unfortunately, first responders may deal with those challenges at a higher rate than the general population, which increases the risk that they will suffer from sex addiction.
Sex addiction treatment can help first responders in a number of ways.
1. Sex addiction treatment helps address the underlying concerns.
In most cases, sex addiction occurs as a response to other high emotions and challenges. For example, a first responder might look to sex as a way to relieve some of the stress and tension often faced on the job. As therapists work with first responders to identify those underlying challenges, they can help them develop healthy coping mechanisms that may make it easier for them to avoid those challenges in the future.
2. Treatment can help first responders enter into or maintain healthy relationships.
Sexual addiction can be extremely hard on a relationship. Some patients suffering from sexual addiction have a hard time forming healthy relationships and connections. Others may find that it interferes with their marriages or relationships. Entering into couples therapy can provide patients with a higher level of support that can enable them to repair those damages or enter into a healthy relationship with a romantic partner.
3. Sexual addiction can increase the risk of developing a variety of health conditions.
Patients who have a high number of sexual partners may have a higher risk of contracting a variety of STDs, which can impact overall health. First responders suffering from sex addiction challenges may also be more likely to engage in increased risk-taking behavior, including sex without protection.
4. First responders suffering from sexual addiction may engage in risky behaviors on the job.
Like any addiction, sex addiction can start to impact a patient's work. First responders who engage in risky behavior on the job may risk losing those jobs altogether. Treatment, on the other hand, can help address those behaviors and provide first responders with a higher level of support, which can decrease those risky behaviors and lead to healthier outcomes.
Many first responders try to stop engaging in dangerous or risky sexual behaviors, but may find it very difficult to stop on their own. Receiving sex addiction treatment can help first responders address the seriousness of that addiction and go on to live more productive, fulfilling lives.

We Specialize in First Responder Wellness
At Command Post Wellness, we focus on providing a high standard of care geared specifically toward first responders. First responders may face a number of unique challenges that can contribute to the risk of substance abuse, sex addiction, depression and anxiety, and more.
Because of the unique nature of their jobs, many first responders struggle to connect with therapists and effectively share the trauma they may have faced. Our programs, geared specifically toward first responders, help address those concerns and provide more effective coping mechanisms that can help first responders return to the jobs they are so passionate about.
