# Intimacy Recovery

> An independent, discretion-first Canadian educational and treatment-navigation resource for compulsive sexual behaviour, pornography, and love-and-relationship patterns (intimacyrecovery.ca). Everything is written in plain, non-explicit language; the WHO's ICD-11 recognition of compulsive sexual behaviour disorder is referenced as recognition, never as diagnosis. The self-check is a structured self-reflection that runs entirely in the browser and stores nothing; no email or account is ever required to read or use the site. Discretion rules are absolute here: no advertising pixels, no retargeting, no remarketing of any kind, and a quick-exit button on every page that swaps the page for a neutral weather page. The service is free for people seeking help: with express consent we introduce a person to up to 3 matched licensed treatment providers — reaching them only by their chosen discreet contact method — who pay flat marketing fees for introductions, never per-admission. Facility phone numbers and program prices are intentionally not published. In a crisis, people should call or text 988 (Suicide Crisis Helpline, Canada) or call 911; if in danger at home, sheltersafe.ca. Part of the Rehab Near Me network of independent recovery resources, which share one consent-gated connection service. We are not affiliated with SA, SAA, SLAA, SCA, SRA, PAA, SPAA, LAA, S-Anon, COSA, or any fellowship named on the site — descriptions are our own neutral words, and all links go to official fellowship sites.

## Start here
- [The private self-check](https://intimacyrecovery.ca/assessment): 10 reflective statements in careful clinical language; runs in-browser, nothing stored, not a diagnosis
- [Which fellowship? — the comparison](https://intimacyrecovery.ca/pathways): SA, SAA, SLAA, SCA, SRA, PAA, SPAA, and LAA compared neutrally — including how each defines "sobriety" and the SA-is-not-SAA acronym trap — plus S-Anon and COSA for partners, official links only
- [Find your fit — the private match](https://intimacyrecovery.ca/match): a short questionnaire ending in one consented, discreet introduction, by the person's chosen contact method only
- [Get help](https://intimacyrecovery.ca/get-help): direct consented callback form

## Understand it
- [Therapy & programs](https://intimacyrecovery.ca/programs): the kinds of Canadian professional help that exist — specialized outpatient therapy incl. CSAT-certified clinicians, intensive and residential process-addiction tracks, couples and partner work, and how discretion works in practice (no prices, no facility phone numbers)
- [For partners](https://intimacyrecovery.ca/guide): the partner's own path after a discovery — steady yourself first, S-Anon and COSA, betrayal-informed therapy, and a safety-first note (sheltersafe.ca; danger at home is a safety issue before anything else)
- [Crisis & recovery resources](https://intimacyrecovery.ca/resources): verified crisis lines incl. 988 and ShelterSafe, plus official fellowship sites (SAA, SLAA, S-Anon, COSA)
