Is your client coming to you because of pornography?
It is the most common way in. That page brings together verbatim quotes from the SAA Green Book, self-assessment questions, and quotes from the official pamphlet on internet sexual behaviors. Please note: that page is available only in Spanish, written for your client.
What is SAA
Sex Addicts Anonymous is an international fellowship founded in 1977, where people of all genders and orientations share their experience, strength, and hope to find freedom from their addictive sexual behavior.
The program
The recovery program is based on the Twelve Steps. There are no dues or fees: SAA is supported by voluntary contributions from its members. It is not affiliated with any specific religion, creed, or dogma.
What it offers and what it does not do
SAA offers meetings, sponsorship, and recovery literature. It does not offer therapy, diagnoses, medical treatment, or professional counseling. Many professionals recommend it as a complement to treatment.
Free resources
SAA publishes the newsletter The Outer Circle, offers orientation packets for professionals and for the media, and can provide speakers for events. Many meetings are open to professional observers.
How to refer a client
Referring someone to SAA is simple: there are no forms, sign-ups, or prior requirements.
Point them to a meeting
The meeting directory lists in-person, virtual, and telephone meetings in Spanish. Your client can attend with no sign-up, without giving their name, and at no cost.
Hand them a pamphlet
The pamphlet “What to Expect at Your First SAA Meeting” explains what they will find and the basic guidelines. You can download and print it below, in English or in Spanish.
Offer a first contact
If your client has questions before attending, they can write through the chat (in Spanish) and we will gladly guide them.
