American Foundation for Addiction Research

The American Foundation for Addiction Research (AFAR) envisions a world where sex  addiction is universally acknowledged, understood, and accepted as a mental health  disorder. Through pioneering research, public education, and persistent advocacy, we strive to create a world where individuals, families, and communities can  experience freedom from the disease of sex addiction. 

To realize this vision, AFAR will focus on three key pillars: 

Advocate for the Sex Addiction/Betrayal Trauma Community:
