Pharmacological Treatment

The pharmacological treatment of the paraphilias with antiandrogens and hormonal agents is successful in reducing recidivism through the reduction of sexual fantasies, sexual drive, sexual arousal, and sexual behavior.[1] The Institute for Sexual Wellness will utilize antiandrogens (Medroxyprogesterone) and hormonal agents (Lupron) to target problematic sexual behavior.

In addition to the treatment of paraphilias, the clinicians at the Institute for Sexual Wellness are skilled in the treatment of commorbid psychiatric disorders. When present, the treatment of commorbid psychiatric disorders, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Dysthymia decrease sex offender recidivism.
