Addiction Treatment Center Wickenburg

Meadows Behavioral Healthcare has made a commitment to offering a series of webinars designed for working professionals. The short courses offer real-world applicable knowledge clinical professionals can use in their work with patients struggling with addiction, trauma, and co-occurring conditions. Webinars are presented during the lunch hour and provide professional development opportunities while earning continuing education credit or NBCC clock hour for attendance

Here’s what participants said about the recent webinar:

“The presenter was direct, concise, and clear (in addition to being personable and funny)… the presentation was logical and easy to follow. Couldn’t ask for a better webinar, felt like a great use of my time.”




“I only signed up for the course to fill in some CEUs, but it was very informative and good to see someone speak candidly about this stuff in an informative light instead of a berating light that often get used when talking about addiction.”
“This was incredibly relevant for my work with traditional-age college students. Perhaps my one suggestion would be to make it a longer presentation due to the breadth of material.”



“The topic is so vast that an hour seemed inadequate. I wonder if a series would be helpful. I would definitely appreciate it. I also appreciate the LGBTQ recognition.”

Recovery From Sex Addiction

Sexual addicts experience tremendous amounts of guilt and shame over their behavior because they feel they are not in control and live in constant fear of being discovered. This is part of drives the addictive cycle of how to cure sex addiction; sex addicts will use inappropriate sexual behavior to block out the very pain of their addiction. Like other forms of addiction, sex addicts are not in control and cannot stop their behaviors, no matter how self-destructive and potentially devastating the consequences may be.

At Gentle Path at The Meadows, our sole purpose is to help men understand that long lasting recovery from their sexual addictions is possible.

Gentle Path at The Meadows will launch its inaugural Alumni Days event October 12-14, 2017. Past patients have been invited back to campus to interact with the staff, peers, and current patients to share their Experience, Strength, and Hope with each other.

The Gentle Path staff and administration don’t believe our treatment ends when a patient discharges after 45 days. We take a keen interest in how our patients progress, the struggles that they go through, and the successes that they experience. The men at Gentle Path are not just patients; they are considered friends and become a part of our extended Gentle Path family, frequently contacting us and to let us know how they are doing.

Patients who have completed our program have experienced the process of reintegrating back into life and that knowledge can be invaluable to current patients. This awareness is what lead us to invite our alumni back to campus to share that experience, strength, and hope.

Gentle Path Executive Director Allan Benham said, “When we came up with the concept for this program we reached out to several alumni and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Within two days of sending out the invitation for the event, we filled all 15 available spots with alumni from around the United States.” Moreover, Benham said Gentle Path has a waiting list for future events.

“We are delighted that so many of our alumni want to come back and show off their recovery so plans for more event in 2018 are already in the works!” he said.
