Like other forms of addiction, sex addiction is a chronic disease that can destroy someone’s life. Individuals may quickly focus more and more of their time on the addiction and forget about other aspects of their lives. Before long, this addiction can affect the individual’s finances, family life, personal matters, career, and social life...click here or below to learn more if you have a client that might benefit from sex addiction treatment.

Santé proudly awards the Rip Corley & Santé Center for Healing Scholarship to Mason Collie.

The Rip Corley & Santé Center for Healing Scholarship is in memory of Santé’s co-founder Rip Corley, LMSW, RN. It is awarded to individuals in recovery from addiction for at least two years, having completed at least one year in college and pursuing an undergraduate degree from an accredited college and/or university.

Mason is from Comfort, TX. He is pursing a Bachelors in Psychology at the University of Houston. Mason attended the oldest recovery high school in Houston, Archway Academy. During this time, he learned the importance and advantage of recovery support and has carried this lesson to the collegiate level. Mason is an active member of the collegiate recovery program at the University of Houston called Cougars in Recovery (CIR). He founded a service committee within CIR that brings 12-Step meetings to an area treatment center, distributes food to students with food insecurity at the on-campus food pantry and that helps organize the sober tailgates. Christopher Miller, Mason's former teacher at Archway Academy, shared "Inside and outside the classroom, Mason is a natural leader. In class, his consistent engagement and curiosity was infectious and inspired his peers to do the same. He is also a leader in the world of recovery, guiding others both in the way he lives his own life, but also as a sponsor to many. He leads naturally and with humility, again speaking to his maturity. Mason aspires to be a doctor, and with his drive and skill set, I believe he will make that happen." 

"People who receive individual therapy report presenting symptom relief and an increased ability to successfully function in their lives. About 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit from it." American Psychological Association

The Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health (SASH) is dedicated to fostering scientific inquiry that helps advance our knowledge, understanding and treatment of problematic sexual behavior (e.g., sexual addiction, compulsive sexual behavior) and sexual health. In order to promote new investigators SASH created the Corley Research Grant currently funded by the Santé Center for Healing.

We love the relationship we have with our Alumni. It is an honor and joy to celebrate in their successes and to stand by them in hardships. Here is some of what they have recently shared.

19 years at Santé Center for Healing

Some people are wary of Alcohol Anonymous because of its religious connotations. The hope of healing and trusting in a Higher Power can be difficult for addicts to embrace. However, the Higher Power can come to mean something different for different people. “The hoop you have to jump through is a lot wider than you think.” ¹ Not only are there “wider” options on what Higher Power can mean, but people can also take their time to figure it out. We aren’t required to believe any specific thing while working the 12 Steps, but it is just suggested to keep an open mind and see what happens while moving through the steps. Developing an open mind to consider change, challenging one’s beliefs, and taking action is not an easy task, but it is important for those desiring long-term recovery to understand there is hope and healing. One must be able to hope and trust that there is a lasting recovery for themselves, that they are worth it, and that embracing the concept of a Higher Power is part of the process to restore sanity and gain a lasting recovery. And for us at Santé...it's all about the long-term recovery!
