SUBSTANCE ADDICTION RESOURCES
International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals: www.iitap.com
Offers training and educational resources for practitioners who treat people with addictive and compulsive sexual behaviors.
In the early 1980s, Dr. Patrick Carnes published Out of the Shadows, raising awareness about sexual compulsivity and addiction; earning himself a reputation as the leading expert in his field. This led to the creation of the Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, or CSAT®, program, a cutting-edge training and certification program built around academic study, experiential training, supervision and assessment competence. As the program grew, so did the number of candidates, requiring the formation of an “institute” -- the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP).
As IITAP continued to grow and expand, additional certification options were created to encompass professionals across a multitude of diverse settings: Associate Sex Addiction Therapist (ASAT) and Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP).
Since its inception, IITAP’s vision is to be a premier training resource for therapists specializing in the areas of addiction recovery and trauma.

Granite Recovery Centers |
Granite Recovery Centers realizes the importance of the 12 Steps in addiction recovery. They believe that without a daily design for living in full practice, the disease of addiction, which centers in the mind and feeds on gratification, will go untreated and relapse will almost certainly occur.
In order to provide clarity about what the 12 Steps are and are not, and can be at their best, they have launched an 8-part 12-Steps of Recovery video series featuring their leadership team and members of our Alumni Tribe. We hope that these videos shed light on the role of the 12 Steps in treating substance use disorder.
