I want to go into treatment, but there are no programs that I can join that my insurance will cover. I"m not in a good headspace, and I"m scared!!!

IF anyone has been in this place, what did you do? I"m out of control and it really sucks being a woman.

Do you have private insurance or county insurance?

Either way, you should call your insurance's "member services" phone number which is on your insurance card.

If you have county insurance, you have an assigned social worker who can help you. You should also have a booklet of providers from either your private or county insurance provider that shows you what is "in network" and what is "out of network."

You can also call around to various sexual addiction programs and ask them what insurance providers they work with.

If they work with your private or county insurance provider, you can then call your member services phone number, or your social worker to set up the coverage for the treatment plan. That is what I would recommend.

You need to do some phone calling and investigating before you just "give up."

The thing is I have Medicaid in the US and it's pretty limited. And places for women are few, if you can find one. And most don't take my insurance.

I know you're wanting to go into treatment for this, but is there any way you could do online support groups for this? I am not sure if they exist. Just wondering... Of course, going into treatment would be more comprehensive, I'm sure, but maybe you could go to online support groups to help with it?

Have you called your Medicaid assigned social worker yet? I would strongly suggest that you do b/c he/she will find you an in-network provider of the sexual addiction program that you feel will help you.

I'm on medical assistance in my state and I have a booklet of providers divided by in-network and out-of-network. If you don't have that booklet, you can call the program and ask them if they take your Medicaid insurance. If you don't make the effort to reach out, you won't get the help that you need.

I reached out to my t, and he is trying to see if there is a substance abuse provider in the office that can help. And I will be working with a skills trainer, soon. I'm hoping that this brings change in behaviors. I know it takes time. What I really wanted is an inpaitent retreat to address both concerns. But that doesn't exist in my state, specifically for sex addiction.

That's good that you reached out to your therapist who is looking for sex addiction treatment for you. Hopefully he/she can find you the right treatment program soon. Hang in there.
