//ABOUT US
STAR Guides is the country’s most specialized treatment program for teen sexual issues
Why Wilderness and Why Star Guides?
There is no greater disruption to technology addiction and compulsive sexual behavior than time in the wilderness.
Wilderness Treatment reveals who the youth is at their “core” and allows for the development of an “authentic identity.”
-
Many youth today end up missing opportunities to develop their “true self” because of the dependencies they have on technology, music, social media, gaming, friends, and material possessions
-
Primitive living in a outdoor setting cuts through that insulation and reveals who the young person is at their “inner core”
-
It’s through this process that therapy becomes much more effective and the youth is able to begin to develop an “authentic identity” based on true strengths and weaknesses
WHY WILDERNESS?
Regardless of past behaviors, we believe that all youth can learn to achieve healthy relationships
Research suggests that for many, sexual problematic behavior first begins during the adolescent years. STAR Guides helps youth to deal with these problems while they are still young. Early intervention is essential for avoiding a lifetime of future problems from untreated compulsive sexual behavior. Psychotherapy and the development of values-based characteristics are key aspects to treating these issues in teens.

Often, teen sexual behavior problems are co-occurring or dual diagnosis issues. Unfortunately, sexual behavior issues are a “rule-out” criteria for many treatment programs which creates difficulties for parents seeking treatment for their teen in need of therapy services.
