Blue Tiger Recovery

Blue Tiger Recovery is located in beautiful Palm Springs, California. Founded in 2013, Blue Tiger Recovery is a evidence-based sex addiction, trauma, and substance addiction recovery center for men and their partners. Blue Tiger Recovery offers Psychiatric Partial Hospitalization (PHP), an Intensive Outpatient Program(IOP), an Outpatient Program (OP), and a 3-week sex addiction boot camp. They understand that sexual addiction can take place in many different ways which is why they address mental health, trauma, shame, chemical dependency, and substance abuse. At Blue Tiger Recovery, they use modern treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing. Their main focus is to work through the addiction and trauma to heal. Blue Tiger Recovery does not offer on-site detoxification, but instead they refer the client to a nearby facility that they have vetted and partnered with, which usually takes 3-14 days. Throughout a client’s stay with Blue Tiger Recovery, they attend nightly 12-step meetings. The 12-Step programs that are offered are as follows: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA), Sexual Compulsive Anonymous (SCA), Recovering Couples Anonymous (RCA), and Crystal Meth Anonymous (CMA) meetings. Blue Tiger Recovery also offers an alternative to 12-step meetings such as SMART Recovery meetings. Blue Tiger Recovery is also highly versed in serving the needs of the LGBTQ+ community with programs designed specifically to address the client’s needs. Blue Tiger Recovery is Joint Commission accredited, an International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) partner, and is a patron member of The Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health (S.A.S.H.).

At Blue Tiger Recovery, they offer a 3-week boot camp that is a trauma-focused sex addiction treatment using Somatic Experiencing. The staff are certified Sex Addiction Therapists that base their approach on addressing the root cause of addiction through evidence-based therapies. This boot camp is designed as an alternative to a residential program. They believe that the boot camp group living experience helps provide a community feel and structure needed to enhance recovery. This intensive trauma-focused 3-week boot camp may be covered by some insurance providers.
