Upon first meeting with a therapist, each patient must go through  assessment process where the history of their sexual addiction or family problem will be discussed and a roadmap for change created.

A proper assessment is the key to any good healthcare. All clients are required to have a thorough one on one assessment to determine what services are necessary and if any adjunctive help is needed. This is the time where the immediate problems are evaluated, but also some of the history of those concerns, with all associated psychological, relationship and family history taken into consideration.

Patients are only required to go through assessment once, upon their initial visit. The assessment includes discussion of family history, general physical and mental health, other addictions, family and social history along with the immediate sexual concerns, which brought the patient to treatment. By the end of the assessment a plan is created to begin to manage and direct the most immediate sexual acting out concerns along with any other problems that might be discussed.

Depending on the outcome of the assessment, patients are directed towards group treatment, individual treatment or perhaps both.
