Sex Addiction Treatment

Comprehensive Sex Addiction Treatment in Ontario: Regain Control and Heal Your Life

Sex addiction doesn’t have to control your life. At Metamorphosis Centre for Change in Wasaga Beach, Ontario, we understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with compulsive sexual behaviors. But here’s the truth: you can break free. In our structured, compassionate environment, we’re committed to helping you heal, regain control, and create a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.

What Is Sex Addiction?

Sex addiction isn’t about desire—it’s about feeling trapped in a cycle of compulsive behaviors, despite the negative impact on your relationships, career, and emotional well-being. The constant shame and guilt can leave you feeling stuck, but you don’t have to stay there. We’re here to help you break the cycle and rediscover your sense of self. This is your opportunity to heal, and we’re with you every step of the way.

Our Transformative Treatment Approach

At Metamorphosis, we believe in a holistic, personalized approach to treatment, targeting both the addiction and the underlying causes. It’s time to dig deep, rebuild, and create the life you deserve. Here’s how we do it:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We help you recognize and change the negative thought patterns that fuel your compulsive behavior. Change your thinking, change your life.
Trauma-Informed Care: Many individuals with sex addiction have experienced trauma, and this is often at the core of compulsive behaviors. Our sessions are designed to address these deeprooted issues, helping you heal from the inside out.
Group Therapy: You’re not alone in this. Sharing your journey with others who are on a similar path helps reduce isolation and builds powerful support networks.
Individual Counseling: In private sessions with our experienced counselors, you’ll gain deeper insights into your addiction, learning to manage it and develop healthy coping strategies.
12-Step Support Groups: We incorporate 12-step philosophies to provide structure and longterm support. Together, we help you build a foundation for lasting recovery.

Residential Treatment Options: Deep Healing in a Safe, Structured Environment

Sometimes, to truly break free from addiction, you need a space where you can focus 100% on yourself and your recovery. Our residential treatment programs, ranging from 4 to 12 weeks, offer exactly that. During your stay, you’ll have 24/7 support, a structured daily routine, and intensive therapy aimed at helping you get to the root of your addiction and rebuild your life from the ground up.

This isn’t just treatment—this is your chance for deep, lasting transformation.

Long-Term Aftercare and Relapse Prevention: Staying Strong Beyond Treatment

Recovery is a lifelong journey, and we’re committed to helping you stay strong long after your program ends. Our aftercare services provide the ongoing support you need to continue building on the progress you’ve made. Through regular follow-ups, counseling, and peer support groups, we help you stay on track and create a life free from addiction.

The journey doesn’t stop at the end of treatment—it’s just the beginning of your new life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Sex Addiction Treatment

What are the signs that someone might need treatment for sex addiction?

Signs of sex addiction include engaging in risky sexual behaviors, feeling unable to control urges, and experiencing negative consequences in relationships, work, or emotional well-being.

How does trauma impact sex addiction?

Trauma often drives compulsive behaviors. Many people struggling with sex addiction have experienced significant trauma in their lives. Our trauma-informed care addresses these underlying causes, helping you heal at a deeper level.

I don’t even where to start… from the first day walking through those doors in tears, as a severely depressed and emotionally/mentally broken person. I was very skeptical and couldn’t bring myself to think I could change or “get better”… Committing to the Metamorphosis program literally saved my life as I was in my darkest times and felt like I was about to give up and let the darkness take my life. Within my 30 days, I obtained new life skills, tools to use to better myself, made incredible new friends, and got back on a healthier track, diet and fitness wise. ALL of the onsite counsellors are beyond amazing at what they do. Really getting to know everyone and understand our own personal struggles to help with coping skills and overcoming any challenge we wanted to overcome. I feel blessed and forever grateful to have had an amazing self transformation thanks to everyone that guided and helped me with my journey. Frank & Chris.. I can’t thank you enough for creating the most amazing place for someone to feel so safe and cared for while in transition for a better life. Metamorphosis will forever be a part of me!

I cannot stress enough how amazing this center is.Frank and Chris are incredible at what they do and how they treat people. The counselors such as Vicky,Sara,Jeff,Troy,Jenn,Rick,Punkty, gary and have helped me drastically. The support works Dayna,Gina,Julie,Joe,Pam and Gary are also very kind and amazing people. The overnight staff are also very kind. I cannot stress enough how good the nursing staff such as Kelly, Emily,Katie,and Tammy have also helped me so much. The executive secretary Carrie is very organized and is amazing at her job. When I came into this place I was a broken person and I look at myself now I'm still not a 100 percent but I'm definitely alot better than I was. I owe that not only to myself and family but also to metamorphosis center for change. If I could give this place 6 stars I honestly would. Also shout out to the kitchen staff I did not have one bad meal in my 45 day stay.

I can't say enough good things about my time at metamorphosis! It truly was transformative. I came in for the 2 week in-person and 2-week virtual program and ended up staying for a month in-person and I couldn't be happier with my decision! Everybody who works there is passionate, knowledgeable and most importantly, caring of all those who stay there. I truly felt safe from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. All of the counsellors are amazing but I do need to give a BIG shout out to Rick - don't let his gruff demeanour throw you off, that man has a heart of gold and did more for me in 1 month than years of therapy did. My biggest advice for those considering staying at the centre is do the work, dig deep knowing that you're supported and you'll be come out on the other side stronger than ever.The food there is great - the chefs are wonderful and caring! You won't starve while you're there. The days are generally busy but you'll find some downtime thrown in too which is really good in terms of setting you up for success when you leave. There are plenty of activities to do while you're there from yoga - taichi - gym, arts, etc. They do really tailor the treatment to your needs, something I truly appreciated! Finally, the amount of 1 on 1 support you get is amazing - counsellors, therapists, doctors and psychiatrists! The nurses are also wonderful and very attentive to your needs.I could keep going but I'll just end by saying that my only regret was not going sooner (though I think I went just when I needed to).

I recently graduated the 30day program at metamorphosis and all I can say is my life has completely changed. I walked through that side door a broken, defeated version of myself feeling like the biggest loser in life. Full of shame, with no self- worth or self- respect. I left with my head held high, loving my life and who I am. The authentic me had emerged. I was willing to listen, willing to do the work, I focused on myself, dug deep and used the tools provided. Rick my primary counselor helped me along my journey. Through his experience and vulnerability I shared my experiences and finally allowed myself to be vulnerable. Rick taught me the word perservance. Although it was me who did the work if it wasn't for Rick and his ability to make me feel safe, capable, worthy and deserving I wouldn't be where I am today. I can not begin to thank everyone at Metamorphosis. Each and every person there has touched my life in one way or another. From doing my mirror work ( thank you Jenn) to sharing mom stuff (thank you Sarah) to learning how to ground myself when I'm struggling with emotions (thank you Troy) to letting me process aloud at the desk and just listening (thank you Jeff) to allowing my inner child to flourish (thank you Vicky) you have all touched my heart in some way. I would also like to thank the night staff, the nursing staff, the support workers, the cooks and the house keepers and anyone else I have left out. I'm so grateful to have had this experience with all of you. I miss you all so much already. But it's not goodbye it's see you later.To whomever may be reading this and is looking for help... if I could offer you one piece of advice..... you deserve a chance to find the authentic version of you, so don't wait any longer. You are braver then you think ❤️

First off, I'd like to thank Frank & Chris for starting such a wonderful place to help those in need. I stayed a month at Meta after many, many years of physical abuse, and a debilitating car accident that just pushed me over the edge. The facilities are clean, the food is amazing, the nurses are all wonderful (shout out to Tam Tam the night nurse, and Sedonia, you ladies made me feel so welcome!). They give each patient 2 councilors, a primary and a secondary. My primary was Vicky. She may seem a little rough around the edges, but that woman has a heart of gold. She was and still to this day, is there whenever I need her. Just a phone call away. Jeff, my secondary, is the easiest person I've ever spoken to. I told him my entire life's story, which I had never shared in full with ANYONE, let alone some guy I'd just met. He is one in a million, and anyone who gets either of them should count themselves lucky. You are also given a doctor, psychiatrist, and psychotherapist. They match you with who they think you will vibe with the most. All 3 of mine were dead on. If you do happen to get someone you don't click with, just ask, and you will be assigned a new one. The centre tailors the program to each person's individual needs. They cover everything, mentally, spiritually, and body. 2 nights a week, they do NA or AA. These are not mandatory for those who do not vibe with the whole God thing, so they have a separate class run by usually Jeff, which is based on your own spiritual beliefs. This place is like no other rehabilitation center I've ever heard of or encountered. They actually care about YOU as an individual, as opposed to their success rates (which is why I beleive their success rate is SO HIGH) I'd like to add a few special mentions to councilors who were not mine, but still helped me in ways I will never forget. Rick, the lead councilor, is an amazing, no bullshit type of guy, and I think we need more people like him in this world. Troy, even though he was off sick for a week and a half while I was there, ran some of the best groups ever and helped me with some paperwork I didn't quite understand. Sarah is just an angel, always there with a smile on her face, willing to help you with anything you need. Gina, the new intern, is just amazing. She brought us to the beach countless times, and we had some wonderful chats. Jenn had some amazing classes as well, and I learned quite a bit from her. I now need to go purchase copper rods to read people's energy circles 😅 that class was so cool! There are a couple more who's names I can't think of off the top of my head, but I love you all, and thank you again, from the bottom of my heart! I would also like to thank Adam the maintenance guy for escorting us to Tim Hortons on our daily walks, and for the great conversations we always had, as well as Kerri at the front desk who greeted me with a smile every morning. Also, Teresinha in the kitchen, who was always praying for us, Kwan and Richard the chefs for the amazing food and conversation, and Joyce. And Elizabeth, I hope she's healing well from her injury. I miss her bumping the 2Pac at 8 a.m., lol. I will definitely be back as an alumni for the BBQ, not as a patient. I want to finish off by saying there is not a single person on staff who you can't relate to on some level. This makes it feel like home. Thank you again, Frank and Chris, for opening this amazing place. I am forever grateful to you for giving me my life back. 🦋❤️🦋

Rick, and everyone else, needs a raise:)This place helped me turn my life around and helped me find my hope. I entered those doors so lost that all I knew is I needed somewhere that would help me find myself again. I am better than the version of myself that I thought my addiction took, and that's an insane thing to think of. I believe the universe took me there, it put me where I needed to be with exactly who I needed to be with, staff and clients alike. If you become a client of Rick's, he has a dress code of high socks and shorts. ;)Thank you so much for giving me everything I have and need to tackle this thing called life!! I'm winning now, no one can break me but me. I can conquer the world thanks to those who brought me to life again♡I love all of you, miss all of you and I hope whomever reads this when they need it finds this helpful!Judith♡♡

There are not enough words to describe how life changing my stay at metamorphosis was.. I found me finally after years of searching in all the wrong places. I was and am loved there by all staff, food was made to fuel the soul and the counsellors are immaculate. I could not have asked for better help to make every day now a blessing. I especially thank Rick and Sarah for helping me see that the version of myself they first met was only a version. They helped me save myself from past scars that still affected my day to day life. I found my people and learned to trust because of these two individuals. Rick is like a father to me now and Sarah always reminds me how special I am anytime I see or hear from her :).Chris and Frank accommodated my needs whenever I was struggling and always praised me for my improvements.Troy, Jeff, Vicky and Jenn helped me whenever I asked and were there anytime I needed someone. My new found family, you really are angels. Thank you so so so much Meta for being my safe place through all these rough years.

He was accommodating and supportive throughout the process which was very reassuring to our family. We felt as though our needs were heard and being met during a very emotional and distressing time.I want to shout out to Vicky who went over and above to support our loved one and made a genuine connection which will forever be appreciated. Vicky was instrumental in providing comfort and understanding to our loved one firstly and most importantly, than to our entire family. Vicky's knowledge, support, understanding and compassion made a very difficult experience manageable and affected change with everyone involved. You come to a treatment centre for change and we got it! We can't thank Vicky enough for her support and commitment to everyone involved!

Metamorphosis changed my life the work and support they provide is unparalleled and everyone who works there truly loves and want you to love yourself for the beautiful person you are. I can’t say enough about my experience from walking through the doors on the first day feeling so broken and lost. All the tools and coping strategies I learned there plus all the hard work. Not only are the staff amazing but the environment and community with the others you meet there is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I feel so blessed to have found this place when I needed it most. Shout out to Rick who had me figured out from day one thank you for showing me the true person I am inside. The food was amazing! The kitchen staff are just awesome people. Thank you Frank and Chris for the life changing place you’ve created. I love all you guys! And thank you for everything!
