Life After Treatment: General Information
While pornography addiction is not currently a recognized medical condition, those who are excessively consuming pornography might experience powerful cravings, neglect their responsibilities, and engage in self-defeating behaviors in order to continue their porn use.
Some researchers have noted that online pornography's potential for addiction is tied to its “triple A” influence: accessibility, affordability and anonymity. These aspects can make it easy to develop a habit of problematic pornography use—and can also make it difficult to curb its consumption. 
While pornography addiction is not yet clearly defined or recognized as a formal mental illness, therapeutic solutions that address the negative effects of excessive porn use are widely available.
“Most treatment programs incorporate psychosocial, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic and pharmacologic methodologies,” Dr. Rene Sorrentino, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and medical director at the Institute for Sexual Wellness in Weymouth, Massachusetts, says.
Read on to learn more about 5 therapeutic interventions that can be used to address problematic porn use and its associated consequences. 
Dr. Daniel Sher, clinical psychologist and sex therapy consultant for Invigor Medical in Washington, recommends becoming aware of behaviors and triggers through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
“CBT works by helping a person to identify, challenge and change patterns of thinking and behaving that fuel porn use,” Sher says.
Sher also uses Motivational Interviewing (MI), or “strategic questions” to guide clients toward improvement. “MI guides them to think about the pros and cons of their addiction and nudges them in the direction of change that is going to improve their lives,” Sher says.
Mindfulness can also help. “Science has shown that when combined with therapy, mindfulness can really help a person to take control of their urges,” Sher says.
Julia Alperovich, a therapist in Sherman Oaks, California whose podcast “Undressing the Issue” addresses sexual addiction, recommends group therapy and healing personal traumas.
“Connecting with others and experiencing emotional intimacy is a powerful tool in helping a person with this type of addiction,” Alperovich says. “Trauma-focused approaches are also helpful to explore how trauma may have affected the person's sense of safety [while] being vulnerable with others.”
Venka de Rooij, a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist in London, has used several innovative methods to help patients with problematic porn use. For example, hypnotherapy uses guided meditation to create a trance-like state in which the patient can address deeper issues.
“Clinical hypnotherapy acts to pinpoint the root cause of the addiction by accessing the subconscious,” Rooij says.
Rooij also recommends replacing poor habits with more adaptive ones.
“I am a firm believer if you take an addiction [or] coping mechanism away, you have to give something back to help that person cope when life throws them a curve ball in the future so they do not relapse,” Rooij says.
This idea is echoed by Jacob Kountz, a therapist at Kern Wellness Counseling in Bakersfield, CA. “One of the most effective treatments for treating porn addiction is the process of finding something that is more worthwhile,” Kountz says. “I’ve helped many good people navigate through what porn gives them, and together we uncover things that have more worth, which eventually ends with them quitting porn for good.”
Kountz believes replacing old behaviors can promote self-improvement. “Finding something else that’s worth doing more than intermingling with porn develops intrinsic motivation and potential upward mobility in life,” Kountz says.
Medication could help with some cases of excessive pornography use. “Pharmacologic interventions have focused on treating co-existing psychiatric disorders and targeting hypersexual or compulsive sexual behaviors with selective serotonin re-uptake inhibiters, [or] SSRIs,” Dr. Sorrentino says.
SSRIs , normally prescribed for depression , increase the body’s serotonin, the neurotransmitter that sends emotion-regulating signals between brain cells. “The rationale for using SSRIs is based on animal models, which show a decrease in sexual behaviors with increases in serotonin,” Dr. Sorrentino says.
But therapy might still be the surest bet. “In the absence of scientifically-validated treatment, most clinicians working with pornography addiction strive to understand the maladaptive behavior and introduce prosocial, healthy alternatives,” Dr. Sorrentino says.

Andra Day, The United States Vs. Billie Holiday, Billie Holiday, Stars Playing Real People
Academy Award nominated actress Andra Day graced the cover of the June issue of InStyle , and in a candid interview with the magazine , she opened up about the personal struggles she faced head-on while filming The United States vs. Billie Holiday . The 36-year-old actress candidly shared how she methodically chose not to incorporate sexuality when it came to portraying the late jazz singer due to her own experiences. "I didn't want any element of sexualization," she shared. "I had come out of something in my own life—dealing with porn addiction, sex addiction. I'm being very, very candid with you because I'm not the only one. But I knew I wanted all of that very much gone." The "Mistakes" singer also revealed that playing the role of the Jazz legend, it helped her overcome her own struggles, while remaining true to the character she felt honored to play. "I feel now, after playing Billie, that I'm honoring her, and the strength that is femininity," she stated. "I'm definitely in a healthier place to enjoy that because I'm outside of the addiction, if you will. So, yeah, it's been really fun, because it's been very new for me."
The biopic, which was released in February, not only earned the actress an Academy Award nomination for her first starring role, but also garnered a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama.
In addition to helping her overcome her addictions, the "Rise Up" singer also shared that she lost 40 pounds for the role—but maintains that although she feels healthier now, she was also happy with her weight beforehand.
"I've had people ask me, ‘Do you feel prettier now that you've lost weight?'" she stated. "I was like, ‘Hell, no! I liked being juicy! I was cool. But, I do like the way [the weight loss] feels on my body, I like the way it feels on my joints. You do notice a difference." "Besides, to me, there is no such thing as a classic beauty," she explained. "Beauty takes on so many different forms, in different times and depending on the nation. It's just about being confident, loving yourself, and understanding your value."
All accolades and praise aside, the star credits her portrayal of Lady Day with helping her appreciate her own self-worth. "It was almost like she said, ‘Sis, we're going to have to close this, because I have to survive.' She opened me up to valuing myself in a way that I hadn't fully before." According to the magazine, the "Forever Mine" singer is currently busy working on a top secret project, of which she will co-produce and co-direct.

What’s Memorable: What a beautiful family they are! Sandra’s story is so unbelievably common- everything was great until she started taking opioids for pain and eventually moved to heroin when her prescriptions ended. I know there’s controversy around whether the root of the opioid crisis is doctors over-prescribing, but it’s hard to deny that it’s at least a major contributor when these kinds of stories are so prevalent now. What’s memorable – seeing this amazing, gorgeous mother leaving a skeevy motel room in the morning with a ‘better plan’ for scoring today.
Official Synopsis: As a fully committed mom, Sandra was involved in her kids’ school activities as well as after school sports. But in 2015, her abuse of prescription pills after an injury led to an opioid and heroin addiction. Within 2 years, this incredible mom has truly fallen from grace. Her family is desperate to get their loving mother back before it’s too late.

I missed the end of the episode. Did they go to treatment? Did they do well? How are they now? It cut off right at the pre intervention with Sandra’s family. Help me out please.
Yes they both went to treatment. Both stayed and then transferred to sober living. Sandra talks to her youngest 2 kids every day through video chat, and Mallory is working on mending her relationship with her kids. Sandra has gone back to school to get her bachelors in construction and plans to go work with her father in their family business. Mallory wants to attend school to become a nurse after she has completed treatment.
Dizzy, as for a what’s memorable I found that situation where she spends the night with her “friend” because he told her he would get her well, and then laughing at her the next day when shes dope sick.
Agreed, I had just added a piece of that situation right before you commented. The whole thing was so upsetting.
God, so much pain in this family. Sylvia was just right for them.
I’m a recovering prescription opiate addict and I’m so grateful to have stopped before ending up in a life like Sandra’s. I sure do understand how she got there, though. I’m happy she’s on the path of recovery.
she posted a message on the intervention fb page, under her episode.
Sylvia was SO wonderful. And as of November 2021 it looks like Sandra is doing well and still in school studying Project Management. Rooting for her!

The mountains of clinical data and visual evidence as millions continue their out-of-control porn use despite consequences of divorce, loss of employment, destroyed reputations, prison time, etc., shouts the obvious: “YES, PORNOGRPAHY IS ADDICTIVE! And just in case there are still out there a few stubborn hold-outs, research is currently being conducted by some of the world’s leading experts in the neuroscience and neuropsychology fields that will provide the clinical evidence required to officially enter sex and pornography as “addictions in the DSM ( Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Some cringe with labeling pornography as “addictive because they believe doing so affords the porn user an excuse: “I can’t help myself, I’m addicted. This is a preposterous position. When someone is addicted to alcohol, do we excuse his behavior because “he can’t help it? Just because someone suffers with an addiction doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a choice. For many years, my colleagues and I (Dr. Hyde) have worked in our clinics helping individuals break free from pornography and many other addictions. There is always a choice when it comes to breaking free from addictive behaviors. The more important question is not “Is pornography addictive? but rather, “Is pornography a drug addiction? Does pornography use lead to a chemical dependency commonly experienced with illicit street drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs? Is pornography use “substance abuse?
Immediately, there are some in the scientific, medical and psychology fields who fire back, “How can you classify pornography as a drug or a substance? It doesn’t come in a liquid, powder or pill form. You don’t ingest it or inject it. My response is two-fold: 1. When an individual ingests or injects a “drug, that chemical travels to the receptors in the brain and other parts of the body, seeking to “mimic the body’s own natural neurotransmitters. In effect, the drug tries to “fake the body into releasing its own natural or endogenous chemicals. For example, Prozac triggers the body to release its own natural serotonin. Likewise, pornography “mimics sexual intimacy and “fakes the body into releasing a tidal wave of endogenous chemicals, which is exactly what pharmaceutical and illicit street drugs do. Can pornography not then be referred to as a “drug? 2. For those who insist on precision in the use of scientific terms such as “drug, allow me to put your minds at rest. Can we agree that pornography viewing triggers the release of the body’s own endogenous chemicals, just as sexual intimacy does? And that the porn viewer can become addicted to these internal chemicals just as he would if the release were triggered by a pharmaceutical drug? Is this not chemically-induced addiction? 


As renowned psychologist M. Douglas Reed states: Addiction [can] exist within the body’s own chemistry. 1
And Howard Shaffer, head of Harvard’s Division on Addiction declares: I had a great difficulty with my own colleagues when I suggested that a lot of addiction is the result of experience—repetitive, high-emotion, high-frequency experience. . . . But it’s become clear that neuroadaptation—that is, changes in neural circuitry that helps perpetuate the behavior—occurs even in the absence of drug-taking. 2 One of the world’s leading researchers in the field of pornography as a chemical addiction is Dr. Judith Reisman. For decades she has worked closely with some of the best minds in neuroscience and neuropsychology to prove that pornography should indeed be considered a drug, a chemical dependency, a form of substance abuse. Consider some powerful statements from her and her colleagues in a widely published research paper: A pornographic psychopharmacological flood yields epinephrine, testosterone, endorphins (endogenous morphine), oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, phenylethylamine, 3 and other pharmacological stimuli. In her book published by the Institute of Medicine, Sandra Ackerman notes that epinephrine alone gets the “vertebrate brain “high on its own self produced morphine or heroin. 4 Pornography, designed to alert the procreation instinct to the need to immediately respond, would be especially likely to cause users to self-medicate, kick-starting these endogenous LSD, adrenaline/norepinephrine, morphine-like neurochemicals for a hormonal flood, a “rush allegedly analogous to the rush attained using various street drugs. 5 Arousal dependence [through pornography] may be compared to biochemical alterations related to excessive amphetamine use. Satiation effects [hours looking at Internet porn] may be compared to those related to opiate use. Fantasy behavior can be related to such neurotransmitters as dopamine, norepinephrine, or serotonin, all of which are chemically similar to the main psychedelic drugs such as LSD. 6 Vanderbilt University psychiatrist Peter Martin’s research on “normal subjects finds the brain activity experienced in sexual arousal of his normal subjects “looks like that accompanying drug consumption. 7 Addiction [can] exist within the body’s own chemistry. Any activity that produces salient alterations in mood can lead to compulsion, loss of control and progressively disturbed functioning. 8 Pornography is not like a drug, it is an endogenously processed poly drug providing intense, although misleading, sensory rewards. 9 However you choose to say it,Pornography addiction is a chemical addiction, or, if you prefer, Pornography causes the body to release endogenous chemicals which the viewer becomes addicted to. The bottom line is: “pornogr
