Gentle Path at The Meadows Reaches a Milestone
Gentle Path at The Meadows, an esteemed program focused on helping men with issues related to sex, love, and intimacy, proudly announced that it has treated its 2,000th patient as of early August. This event signifies a remarkable achievement in its ongoing mission of delivering effective treatment and recovery support over the past 45 years.
A Legacy of Compassionate Care
For decades, The Meadows has set a high standard in treating trauma, addiction, and mental health disorders through evidence-based and compassionate care. Gentle Path, based in Wickenburg, Arizona, continues this legacy as a national frontrunner in sex addiction treatment. The program, established by the influential Dr. Patrick Carnes and currently led alongside Dr. Stefanie Carnes, is renowned for its clinical excellence and commitment to innovation.
Located on a picturesque 35-acre campus in the Sonoran Desert, just north of Phoenix, Gentle Path combines rigorous clinical practices with a tranquil environment that fosters profound healing. The facility offers a variety of therapeutic approaches, including individualized and group therapy, trauma work, neurofeedback, EMDR, expressive arts, somatic experiencing, spirituality counseling, and wellness activities. These methods are thoughtfully designed to empower individuals on their path to lasting recovery.
Stories of Transformation
Every new patient at Gentle Path represents more than just a number; each is an individual taking a critical step toward reclaiming their life, repairing relationships, and embracing new beginnings.
One patient reflected on his transformative experience, stating, "In 2015, I came to Gentle Path with little hope that I had any options for a meaningful life. Within weeks, I not only truly knew myself for the first time, but I believed that change and growth were possible." Stories like these illustrate the program's mission to change lives through expert and compassionate care.
Expanded Services for Growing Needs
As the demand for this essential treatment continues to rise, Gentle Path is committed to expanding its capacity and offerings. The program is actively growing to accommodate increasing patient needs, enhancing family support services, and integrating the latest research and evidence-based practices to ensure a comprehensive approach to recovery from sex addiction.
Marie Woods, the Executive Director of Gentle Path at The Meadows, expressed her gratitude for the dedicated staff who make the program possible. "Our staff's skill and compassion allow us to be part of the healing journey of the 2,000 courageous men who have come through our doors. It is this trust that strengthens our commitment to increasing access, quality, and innovation in our services."
