There are certain mental and behavioral health disorders and conditions that come with clear financial loss. For instance, the average male problem gambler in America carries a debt load between $55,000 and $90,000, while female counterparts are roughly $15,000 in debt. Meanwhile, the CDC reports that alcohol use costs heavy drinkers nearly $5,100 per annum, with research from American Addiction Centers indicating that the average drinker (much less someone with alcohol use disorder) spends more than $116,000 on alcohol in their lifetime.
While mental health is (or should be) the primary motivator to get professional help to fight the compulsive behaviors addressed above, it’s easier for a compromised individual to justify investment in therapy when going without can cost them more. Simply put, if “X” (regular therapy) costs less that “Y” (continued compulsive behavior) then supplementing self-exclusion with counseling makes perfect sense to them.
Things are however, less clear for some people who struggle with hypersexuality disorders such as compulsive use of pornography. Porn is essentially “free” to consume and so someone struggling with addiction may opt out of counseling and attempt to abstain on their own. This is generally an ineffective strategy. Fortunately, others (yourself included) are performing a search for information on the cost of professional treatment. Below is a breakdown of what that cost looks like, with added insight to motivate the investment in your mental wellbeing. Read ahead to learn more.
What it Costs for Effective Online Treatment for Porn Addiction and What Else You Need to Know
Financial Cost of Living with Porn Addiction
Before we look at the actual cost of pornography addiction treatment, we want to address what was discussed above. Among the many consequences of porn addiction is a palpable potential for financial ruin.
A recent survey found that 60% of people watch porn at work. Unless their offices are collectively located in the San Fernando Valley circa 1970s there’s a high probability that this action violates workplace policy. This violation can prompt immediate dismissal in today’s corporate climate. Compromised productivity in one’s profession is also a symptom of porn addiction that comes with financial consequence. Further, research finds that divorce rates are double when one spouse is a frequent porn user. Granted, these relationships may be troubled in the first place, but there is indeed a hard cost to dissolving a marriage. In addition, porn addiction is known to cooccur with the very same disorders mentioned in the introduction, which do have direct financial consequences.
In summation, there are financial consequences to compulsive use of porn. Consider this when deliberating what you may think you can and cannot afford. Please keep reading.
Porn Addiction Treatment is Covered by Insurance?
Many people don’t realize that a significant portion (60 to 80% in some cases) of the cost of hypersexuality disorder treatment can be reimbursed under a variety of insurance plans. This is typically viable via its inclusion in mental health therapy services, which are often covered by insurers. A list of insurance providers that may cover porn addiction through Kindbridge Behavioral Health can be found here.
